Answer:
Surely Achilles will catch the Tortoise, in 400 seconds
Explanation:
The problem itself reduces the interval of time many times, almost reaching zero. However, if we assume the interval constant, then it is clear that in two hours Achilles already has surpassed the Tortoise (20 miles while the Tortoise only 3).
To calculate the time, we use kinematic expression for constant speed:
The moment that Achilles catch the tortoise is found by setting the same final position for both (and same time as well, since both start at the same time):
Answer:
The difference is 7.6 grams.
Explanation:
In mathematics the difference of two numbers is express as the subtraction between them:
So to find out the difference between the two measured masses, a will be represented by 123.6 grams since is the bigger number, and b by 115.972 grams.
Therefore, it is get:
<u>Hence, the difference is 7.6 grams. </u>
The result of 7.628 will be expressed as 7.6 to have the correct number of significant figures.
Notice how that can be express in units of kilograms too since there is 1000 gram in 1 kilogram:
