you need to use hours to make it easy to convert to m/s. Change 15 minutes to hours

Note distance is in km so change the time to hours to get km/hour

1 hour = 60mins so 15 minutes will be 0.25 hours

10/0.25 = 40 km/ hour

To change that to m/second, change km to meters and hour to second

it will be (40x1000) meters /3600seconds

11.1111 m/s

1).  You're always free to use whatever units you like at the moment. Just be sure to include the units in your answer.  

BUT ... If the question TELLS you what the units of your answer should be, then that's the units your answer must have.

That's what you've got here.  The question said "calculate the average speed in Km h-1."  That's just a fancy way to write ' km/hour '.  So there's the units of your answer.  The data given is in minutes, so you'll need to do some work to get the answer in km/hour .

The equation for speed is  

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance"

When you plug a number into that equation, keep the units hooked to it, and keep the units all the way through your work.

Speed = (10 km) / (15 minutes)

Speed = (10/15) (km/minutes)

<em>Speed = 2/3 km/min</em>

There's the speed.  But the units are not what the question wants to see.  You <u><em>could</em></u> convert the units into miles per hour, feet per second, smoots per day, furlongs per fortnight, or nano-inches per eon.  But you're smart enough to know that you won't get any credit for the answer if it doesn't have the units that the question commanded you to use.  So you have to convert the 'km/min' into 'km/hour'.

Just multiply your answer by (60min / hour) .  That fraction is equal to ' 1 ', because the numerator and denominator are equal, so it won't CHANGE your answer by mutiplying.  But you WILL convert the <em>units</em> of the answer.

Speed = (2/3 km/min) x (60 min/hour)

Speed = (2/3 x 60) x (km/min x min/hr)

Speed = (2/3 x 60) x (km/hr)

<em>Speed = 40 km/hr .</em>

How do the valves do in the heart​
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The valves prevent the backward flow of blood. These valves are actual flaps that are located on each end of the two ventricles (lower chambers of the heart). They act as one-way inlets of blood on one side of a ventricle and one-way outlets of blood on the other side of a ventricle.

A 0.50-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle (radius 2.0 m). When the mass is at the highest point
il63 [147K]

Answer:

31.1 N

Explanation:

m = mass attached to string = 0.50 kg

r = radius of the vertical circle = 2.0 m

v = speed of the mass at the highest point = 12 m/s

T = force of the string on the mass attached.

At the highest point, force equation is given as

T + mg =\frac{mv^{2}}{r}

Inserting the values

T + (0.50)(9.8) =\frac{(0.50)(12)^{2}}{2}

T = 31.1 N

Say you want to make a sling by swinging a mass M of 1.9 kg in a horizontal circle of radius 0.042 m, using a string of length 0
padilas [110]

Answer: T= 715 N

Explanation:

The only external force (neglecting gravity) acting on the swinging mass, is the centripetal force, which. in this case, is represented by the tension in the string, so we can say:

T = mv² / r

At the moment that the mass be released, it wil continue moving in a straight line at the same tangential speed that it had just an instant before, which is the same speed included in the centripetal force expression.

So the kinetic energy will be the following:

K = 1/2 m v² = 15. 0 J

Solving for v², and replacing in the expression for T:

T = 1.9 Kg (3.97)² m²/s² / 0.042 m = 715 N

. A child drops a ball from a window. The ball strikes the ground in 3.0 seconds. What is the. A child drops a ball from a windo
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

30m/s

Explanation:

  • Use formula for height calculation: Time = √2h/√g
  • From here calculate height which comes out to be: 45m(if g is taken 10)
  • Then use formula for velocity calculation: v = √2gh

  • The velocity comes out to be 30m/s
