The 20-inch-diameter wheels of one car travel at a rate of 24 revolutions per minute,

1 answer:

8 0

One revolution of a wheel is equal to it's circumference:

C = πd

C: circumference
d: diameter

<u>20" wheel</u>
d = 20"
C = (20π) in/rev
v = (24 rev/min)(20π in/rev) = 480π in/min

<u>30" wheel</u>
d = 24"
C = (30π) in/rev
v = (18 rev/min)(30π in/rev) = 540π in/min

$Ratio = \frac{velocity of 30" wheel}{velocity of 20" wheel} = \frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}$

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{540\pi}{480\pi} = \frac{9}{8}$

<h3>What is the right triangle?</h3>

A right-angle triangle is a triangle that has a side opposite to the right angle the largest side and is referred to as the hypotenuse.

It is given that a right triangle has a side length of 16 meters and a hypotenuse of 20 meters.

From a Pythagoras theorem

$b^{2} = c^{2} +a^{2} \\20^{2} = 16^{2} +a^{2}\\20^{2}-16^{2} =a^{2}\\a^{2} = 20^{2}-16^{2} \\$

Thus, the equation can be used to find the missing leg in the triangle $20^{2}-16^{2} =a^{2}$ .

Answer:

4317 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

At a given speed, distance is proportional to time.

NY-Rome distance = (3500 mi)(7.4 h)/(6 h) = 4316 2/3 mi ≈ 4317 mi

What is a theory in science

alina1380 [7]

A scientific theory is a validated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on multiple facts that have been frequently verified through research and experimentation. Fact theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world.
