Let's take a look at something here. I thought the 15 mph for a base runner was kind of slow. I mean, it was a heck of lot faste

r than I could run, but still 15 mph, equates to about 6.7 m/s. We saw earlier that Usain Bolt average speed was 100 m/9.59 s which is 10.4 m/s. I just looked the NCAA men's 100 m dash record this year--10.82 s. Calculate that speed in in mph.

Answer:

The speed is 20.70 mph.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 6.7 m/s = 15 mph

1\ m/s = \dfrac{15}{6.7}

1 m/s =2.24\ mph

In 10.4 m/s,

10.4\ m/s=2.24\times10.4\ mph

10.4\ m/s=23.3\ mph

If 100 m record in 10.82 sec

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of speed

v = \dfrac{d}{t}

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{100}{10.82}

v=9.242\ m/s

v=9.242\times2.24\ mph

v=20.70\ mph

Hence, The speed is 20.70 mph.

Which of the following has potential but not kinetic energy?
gavmur [86]

The answer would be option D "a ball sitting on a shelf." Potential energy is the amount of energy a object has while it's at rest.. (or not moving) Kinetic energy is how much energy a object is while it's moving. So in this case it's option D because a ball sitting on a shelf isn't moving therefore it has potential energy. It's not option A because thats a example of kinetic energy since how the roller coaster is moving. It's not option B because it's kinetic energy because the bike is moving. It's also not option C because it's kinetic energy because the bird is moving.


Hope this helps!

What is the largest four subsystems?​
AnnZ [28]

Explanation:

Everything in Earth's system can be placed into one of four major subsystems: land, water, living things, or air. These four subsystems are called "spheres." Specifically, they are the "lithosphere" (land), "hydrosphere" (water), "biosphere" (living things), and "atmosphere" (air).

An engineer is designing a runway. She knows that a plane, starting at rest, needs to reach a speed of 180mph at take-off. If th
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The plane would need to travel at least 8,\!580\; {\rm ft} (8.58 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm ft}.)

The 10,\!000\; {\rm ft} runway should be sufficient.

Explanation:

Convert unit of the the take-off velocity of this plane to \rm ft\cdot s^{-1}:

\begin{aligned}v &= 180\; {\rm mph} \\ &= 180\; {\rm mi \cdot hrs^{-1}} \times \frac{1\; {\rm hrs}}{3600\; {\rm s}} \times \frac{5280\; {\rm ft}}{1\; {\rm mi}} \\ &= 264\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

Initial velocity of the plane: u = 0\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}}.

Take-off velocity of the plane v =264\; {\rm ft\cdot s^{-1}}.

Let x denote the distance that the plane travelled along the runway. Since acceleration is constant but unknown, make use of the SUVAT equation x = ((u + v) / 2) \, t.

Notice that this equation does not require the value of acceleration. Rather, this equation make use of the fact that the distance travelled (under constant acceleration) is equal to duration t times average velocity (u + v) / 2.

The distance that the plane need to cover would be:

\begin{aligned}x &= \left(\frac{u + v}{2}\right)\, t \\ &= \frac{0\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}} + 264\; {\rm ft \cdot s^{-1}}}{2} \times 65.0\; {\rm s} \\ &= 8.58\times 10^{3}\; {\rm ft}\end{aligned}.

How do fossils provide evidence that evolution has taken place
zzz [600]
<span>Fossils provide solid evidence that organisms from the past are not the same as those found today; they show a progression of evolution. Scientists calculate the age of fossils and categorize them to determine when the organisms lived relative to each other. Hope this helps</span>
