What conversion factor is used to convert 20 cm to m

Physics
1 answer:
Anastaziya [24]3 years ago
7 0
The conversion factor you use is 100 cm = 1 m.
You can divide 20 by 100 to get the answer.
20 cm/100 cm =.2 m
Hope this helped!

Un tren emplea cierto tiempo en recorrer 240 km. Si la velocidad hubiera sido 20 km por hora mas que la que llevaba hubiera tard
podryga [215]

Answer:

A train takes some time to travel 240 km. If the speed had been 20 km per hour more than the one it was carrying, it would have taken 2 hours less to travel this distance. In what time did he cover the 240 km

Explanation:

Given that,

A train travelled a distance of 240km

Let the initial speed be

S_1 = x km/hr

Let assume the time spent on the first journey is

t_1 = a

Now if he increase the speed to

S_2 = (x + 20) km/hr

Then, he would have take 2hrs less time

Then, time t_2 = a - 2

The common data fore the two journey is the distance

Speed = distance / time

For the first stage

S_1 = d / t_1

d = S_1 × a

d = x × a

240 = x•a

x = 240 / a Equation 1

For stage two

d = S_2 × t_2

d = (x+20) × (a - 2)

240 = (x+20) × (a - 2). Equation 2

Substitute equation 1 into 2

240 = (240/a + 20) × (a -2)

240 = 240 - 480/a + 20a - 40

240 - 240 + 40 = - 480/a + 20a

240 - 240 + 40 = (-480 + 20a²) / a

40 = (-480 + 20a²) / a

40a = -480 + 20a²

20a² - 40a -480 = 0

Divided through by 20

a² - 2a - 24 = 0

a² + 4a - 6a - 24 = 0

a(a+4) -6(a+4) = 0

(a-6)(a+4) = 0

(a-6) = 0 or (a+4) = 0

So, a = 6 or a = -4

The time cannot be negative, then, the time is a = 6hours

So, t_1 = a = 6hours,

So, the time used in the first journey is 6hours

So, in the second journey the time use is 2hours less than the first journey

Then, t_2 = 6 - 2 = 4 hours

t_1 = 6 hours

t_2 = 4 hours

Spanish

Un tren recorrió una distancia de 240 km.

Deje que la velocidad inicial sea

S_1 = x km / h

Supongamos que el tiempo dedicado al primer viaje es

t_1 = a

Ahora si aumenta la velocidad a

S_2 = (x + 20) km / h

Entonces, habría tomado 2 horas menos de tiempo

Entonces, el tiempo t_2 = a - 2

Los datos comunes para los dos viajes son la distancia.

Velocidad = distancia / tiempo

Para la primera etapa

S_1 = d / t_1

d = S_1 × a

d = x × a

240 = x • a

x = 240 / a Ecuación 1

Para la etapa dos

d = S_2 × t_2

d = (x + 20) × (a - 2)

240 = (x + 20) × (a - 2). Ecuación 2

Sustituye la ecuación 1 en 2

240 = (240 / a + 20) × (a -2)

240 = 240 - 480 / a + 20a - 40

240 - 240 + 40 = - 480 / a + 20a

240 - 240 + 40 = (-480 + 20a²) / a

40 = (-480 + 20a²) / a

40a = -480 + 20a²

20a² - 40a -480 = 0

Dividido entre 20

a² - 2a - 24 = 0

a² + 4a - 6a - 24 = 0

a (a + 4) -6 (a + 4) = 0

(a-6) (a + 4) = 0

(a-6) = 0 o (a + 4) = 0

Entonces, a = 6 o a = -4

El tiempo no puede ser negativo, entonces, el tiempo es a = 6 horas

Entonces, t_1 = a = 6 horas,

Entonces, el tiempo utilizado en el primer viaje es de 6 horas

Entonces, en el segundo viaje, el uso del tiempo es 2 horas menos que el primer viaje

Entonces, t_2 = 6 - 2 = 4 horas

t_1 = 6 horas

t_2 = 4 horas

A stone is catapulted at time t = 0, with an initial velocity of magnitude 19.9 m/s and at an angle of 39.9° above the horizonta
larisa [96]

Answer:

Part a)

x = 15.76 m

Part b)

y = 7.94 m

Part c)

x = 26.16 m

Part d)

y = 7.49 m

Part e)

x = 83.23 m

Part f)

y = -75.6 m

Explanation:

As we know that catapult is projected with speed 19.9 m/s

so here we have

v_x = 19.9 cos39.9

v_x = 15.3 m/s

similarly we have

v_y = 19.9 sin39.9

v_y = 12.76 m/s

Part a)

Horizontal displacement in 1.03 s

x = v_x t

x = (15.3)(1.03)

x = 15.76 m

Part b)

Vertical direction we have

y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2

y = (12.76)(1.03) - 4.9(1.03)^2

y = 7.94 m

Part c)

Horizontal displacement in 1.71 s

x = v_x t

x = (15.3)(1.71)

x = 26.16 m

Part d)

Vertical direction we have

y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2

y = (12.76)(1.71) - 4.9(1.71)^2

y = 7.49 m

Part e)

Horizontal displacement in 5.44 s

x = v_x t

x = (15.3)(5.44)

x = 83.23 m

Part f)

Vertical direction we have

y = v_y t - \frac{1]{2}gt^2

y = (12.76)(5.44) - 4.9(5.44)^2

y = -75.6 m

A block on a horizontal frictionless plane is attached to a spring, as shown below. The block oscillates along the x-axis with s
AleksandrR [38]

The question is about unclear since no picture provided. But from the question, it could be guessed that the box is moving back and forth on the frictionless plane at the amplitude of A in simple harmonic motion.

Answer:

D. At x=0, it's acceleration is at a maximum

Explanation:

As the box move forward, it reaches point A and than move backward. Theoretically, the box will move backwards, through its origin, to point -A and then going forward.

Point A is the maximum displacement of the box in this case. At this point, the box instantaneously stop to go backward. Therefore the velocity at that moment is zero.

From point -A, the box travel forward and keep building up speed due to the release in potential energy of the spring. And at point x=0, the velocity become maximum. After point x=0, the velocity of the box slows down due to the conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy of the spring. And as it reaches point A, it reaches zero velocity.

The same can be said as the box travels backward from point A to -A

Which variety of moth, C or Y, is more likely to be killed by insect eating birds?
Svetlanka [38]
Moth X is more likely to be eaten by insect killing birds first. This is because Moth Y blends in with the tree trunk more and is hidden from birds. Its wings camouflage with the tree trunk, hiding it from sight.
