There are 1600 metres in 1 mile, so 10095÷1600= 6.3 miles/s

The equivalent of 10095 m/s is 6.2728 mi/s.

Further Explanation

To get the answer to this problem we use the conversion factor for meters to miles: 1609.34 m = 1 mi.

Setting up the dimensional analysis:

speed \ = 10095 \frac{m}{s} \times \frac{1 \ mi}{1609.34 \ m}\\

We put the number of meters in the numerator so that the unit (meter) may be cancelled.

By multiplying the given by the number of meters in mile, we arrive at the answer:

\boxed {\boxed {speed = 6.2728 \ \frac{mi}{s}}}

Since the given has 5 significant figures, the final answer must also have five significant figures.

Additional Example:

Sometimes the problem requires the conversion of both numerator and denominator. Below is a worked example for these kinds of question.

<em>The conversion factor relating miles to meters is 1mile=1610m. The speed of light is 3.00×108 m/s. How fast is this in miles per hour (miles/h)?</em>

The problem gives the conversion factor for miles to meter:

1 mi =1610 m

To convert the speed of light into the desired unit the following steps must be carried out:

  1. Convert meters to miles.
  2. Convert seconds to hours.

These conversion may be done individually or simultaneously in a single dimensional analysis equation. The equation below shows the simultaneous conversion in one equation:

speed \ of \ light = 3.00 \times 10^8 \ \frac{m}{s} \times \frac{1 \ mi}{1610 \ m} \times \frac{60 \ s}{1 \ min} \times \frac{60 \ min}{1 \ h}\\\\\boxed {speed \ of \ light = 6.71 \times 10^8 \ \frac{mi}{h}}

Since the answer must be expressed with only 3 significant figures, the final answer is:

If a rectangle has an area of 36 square units, what could the dimensions be?
Oxana [17]

The area of a rectangle is length times width. Since a square's length is equal to its width, a square's area is equal to the length of one side times itself. So, reversed, the square root of the square's area gives the length of one side. In this case, the square root of 36 square centimeters is 6 centimeters. Again, since all four sides of a square are the same, its perimeter is equal to the length of one side times four. For a square with one side equal to 6 centimeters, the perimeter equals 24 centimeters.

When using inverse operations, what should you do to solve y - 7 = 10?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a SUBTRACTION symbol in the problem. So, you will do the opposite, & ADD the 2 available numbers in the equation. 10+7=17

When you replace that y with 17, the equation is correct.

Which best describes this triangle? A. All sides are the same length; all angles are acute. B. Two sides are the same length; on
Ilya [14]
None are correct because not all angles of the triangle are acute because one side of it is a right angle and not one of the angles or obtuse. <span />
