Answer:
a. 313.171081 miles/hour
b. 0.434m

To calculate the speed in miles per hour, you need to change meterinto miles (1m= 0.086992mile) , then second into hour(1s= 1/3600h). The calculation would be:
140 m/s x 0.086992mile/m : 1/3600 s/hour= 313.171081 miles/hour.

To calculate the next question you need to know that mili second= 1/1000 second. Then the calculation would be:
140m/s x 3.1ms x 1/1000= 0.434m

The radius of Earth is about 6450 km. A 7070 N spacecraft travels away from Earth. What is the weight of the spacecraft at a hei
Triss [41]

Answer:

(a) 1767.43 N

(b) 182.45 N

Explanation:

Radius of earth, R = 6450 km

Weight of person, W = 7070 N

mass of person, m = W / g = 7070 / 9.8 = 721.4 kg

(a) h = 6450 km

The value of acceleration due to gravity on height is given by

g' = g\left ( \frac{R}{R+h} \right )^2

g' = g\left ( \frac{6450}{6450+6450} \right )^2

g' = g / 4 = 9.8 / 4 = 2.45 m/s^2

The weight of the person at such height is

W' = m x g' = 721.4 x 2.45

W' = 1767.43 N

(b) h = 33700 km

The value of acceleration due to gravity on height is given by

g' = g\left ( \frac{R}{R+h} \right )^2

g' = g\left ( \frac{6450}{6450+33700} \right )^2

g' = g x 0.0258 = 9.8 x 0.0258 = 0.253 m/s^2

The weight of the person at such height is

W' = m x g'

W' = 721.4 x 0.253

W' = 182.45 N

Rod A and rod B are cylindrical rods made of the same metal. amd they differ only in size. Rod B has double the length and doubl
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

it would take rod B twice as much time

Explanation:

it would take rod B twice as much time as it is twice as thick and twice as long. Due to this reason it would take the electric charge not only more time but even more voltage to travel through the rod

A truck covered 2/7 of a journey at an average speed of 40
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The amount of time for the whole journey is 8 hours.

Explanation:

A truck covered 2/7 of a journey at an average speed of 40  mph. Representing 1 the total of the trip traveled, then the rest of the distance traveled is calculated as: 1-\frac{2}{7} =\frac{5}{7}

So if the truck covered the remaining 200 miles at \frac{2}{7}, this means that \frac{5}{7} of the trip represents the 200 miles. So, to calculate the total distance traveled by the truck, you apply the following rule of three: if \frac{5}{7} of the route represents 200 miles, the integer 1 (which represents the total of the route), how many miles are they?

miles=\frac{1*200miles}{\frac{5}{7} } =\frac{7}{5} *200 miles

miles= 280

So the total distance traveled is 280 miles. Since speed is the relationship between the space traveled by an object and the time used for it (speed=\frac{distance}{time}), then if the average of the entire trip was 35 mph and the distance traveled 280 miles, the time is calculated as:

time=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{280 miles}{35 mph}

time= 8 h

<u><em> The amount of time for the whole journey is 8 hours.</em></u>
