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>

Which of the following statements about electric field lines associated with electric charges is false? Electric field lines can

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The false statement is 'Electric field lines form closed loops'.

Explanation:

Electric field lines originate from positive end and terminates at negative end,i.e., field lines are inward in direction to the negative charges and outward from the positive charges.
These lines when close together represents high intensity and when far apart shows low intensity of the field.
These lines do not intersect, as the tangent drawn on these lines provides us with the field direction and intersection of these lines means two field directions which is not possible.
These lines unlike magnetic field lines do not form closed loops as they do not turn around but originate at positive end and terminates at negative end which ensures no loop formation.

Would a bottleneck event of the plants in an area from the video at the top of this page result in the need for primary or secon

andriy [413]

The bottleneck event of the plants in an area results in secondary succession.

<h2>What is bottleneck event?</h2>

A bottleneck is an event that drastically reduces the population size of an organism. The bottleneck may be caused by various events, such as an environmental disaster, the hunting or habitat destruction that results in the deaths of organisms.

<h3>Secondary succession</h3>

Secondary succession is a type of ecological succession in which plants and animals recolonize a habitat after a major disturbance such as a devastating flood, wildfire, landslide, lava flow, or human activity e.g., farming or road or building construction.

Linh builds a circuit from the diagram shown. Which bulb could Linh remove from the circuit to make all of the other bulbs stop

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order for the current to continue flowing through the circuit (and for the bulbs to continue shining), there must be a closed path containing the battery where current can flow. Let's see the effect of removing each bulb on the circuit:

- 1: when removing bulb 1 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 3- bulb 4

- 2: when removing bulb 2 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 3- bulb 4

- 3: when removing bulb 3 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 1-bulb 2- bulb 4

- 4: when removing bulb 4 only, the current can no longer flow. In fact, there is no closed path that contains the battery now, so the current will not flow and all the bulbs will stop shining.

Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling are called

Nikolay [14]

1. a. longitudinal waves.

There are two types of waves:

- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the oscillations of the wave occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the oscillations of the waves occur parallel to the direction in which the waves are travelling.

So, these types of waves are called longitudinal waves.

2. d. a medium

There are two types of waves:

- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field, and they can travel both in a medium and also in a vacuum (they do not need a medium to propagate)

- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, so they need a medium to propagate - therefore, the correct choice is d. a medium

3. a. AM/FM radio

Analogue signals consist of continuous signals, which vary in a continuous range of values. On the contrary, digital signals consist of discrete signals, which can assume only some discrete values. For AM and FM radios, signals are transmitted by using analogue signals.

Based on relative bond strengths, classify these reactions as endothermic (energy absorbed) or exothermic (energy released)

cluponka [151]

<span>Exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy. This reaction releases heat energy or light . In an endotermic reaction energy is used. Enthaply is the heat energy change , delta H. If the sum of the enthalpies of the reactans is greater than the products the reaction is exothermic. If the products side has a larger enthaply than the process is endothermic. So, if delta H is negative then the process is exothermic. If delta H is positive, than the process is endothermic. Exothermic are: A+BC -> AB+C A2+B2 -> 2AB Endothermic are:AB+C -> AC+B A2 + C2 -> 2AC B2+C2 -> 2BC</span>
