The original width was 94.71 cm 
<span>The area decreased 33.1% </span>

<span>The equation for the final size is </span>
<span>2X^2 = 1.2 m^2 </span>
<span>X^2 - 0.6 m^2 </span>
<span>X^2 = 10000 * .6 cm </span>
<span>X = 77.46 cm (this is the width) </span>

<span>The length is 2 * 77.46 = 154.92 cm </span>

<span>The original length was 154.92 + 34.5 = 189.42 cm </span>
<span>The original width was 189.42 / 2 = 94.71 cm </span>

<span>The original area was 94.71 * 189.92 = 17939.9 cm^2 </span>
<span>The new area is 79.46 * 154.92 = 12000.1 cm^2 </span>

<span>The difference between the original and current area is 17939.9 - 12000.1 = 5939.86 cm^2 </span>

<span>The percentage the area decreased is 5939.86 ' 17939.9 = 33.1%</span>

Jan ran 4 miles north in 28 minutes. What was Jan's average velocity?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

3.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by Jan, d = 4 miles

1 mile = 1609.34 m

4 miles = 6437.38 m

Time, t = 28 minutes = 1680 s

Jan's average speed,

v = d/t

v=\dfrac{6437.38\ \text{m}}{1680\ \text{s}}\\\\v=3.83\ \text{m/s}

Hence, the average velocity of Jan is 3.83 m/s.

When you cook a marshmallow on a metal poker tool over an open flame, energy is transferred. Identify the three different ways t
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The three ways thermal energy is transferred are;

1) Conduction

2) Convection

3) Radiation

Explanation:

1) The conduction of the heat from the open flame to the marshmallow is through the direct contact of the flame with the marshmallow, such that the flame the region of the combustion reaction, that produces light and heat touches the marshmallow

2) The convection process is the transfer of heat from the rising heated combustion products, as well as the heated air that rises from the flame

3) The radiation heat transfer is the transfer of the heat from the fire to the marshmallows directly by the heat the moves in the form of electromagnetic waves at temperatures above 1000 K, without the need for a medium, such that the marshmallow can be heated by the heat coming from side of the flame.
