If an automobile is able to travel 400 km on 47.2 l of gasoline, what is the gas mileage in miles per gallon?

1 answer:

4 0

Distance traveled = 400 km
Volume of gas = 47.2 L

Note that
1 km = 0.62137 mi, or 1 mi = 1.609 km
1 L = 0.264 gal (US)

Therefore
400 km = (400 km)*(0.62137 mi/km) = 248.548 mi
47.2 L = (47.2 L)*(0.264 gal/L) = 12.4608 gal

The gas mileage is
(248.548 mi)/(12.4608 gal) = 19.95 mi/gal

Answer: 20.0 miles per gallon (nearest tenth)

ankoles [38]

Answer:

It will take 8.80 sec to fall from the building

Explanation:

We have given height pf the state building h = 380 m

Initial velocity will be 0 m /sec

So u = 0 m/sec

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

We have to find the fall time

According to second equation of motion $h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

So $380=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2$

$t^2=77.55$

t = 8.80 sec

What is affected by an airplane's speed?

ratelena [41]

Airplanes produce lift from the air moving over their wings. Stall speed is a metric that refers to the minimum speed required for an airplane to produce lift. When airplanes fly slower than their respective stall speed, they won't produce lift. ... If an airplane's speed drops below its stall speed, it won't produce lift.
