A meter is 100 meters. So a hundredth of a meter stick is a centimeter.<span />

Answer

\frac{1}{100}

Explanation:

A meter stick is a tool used to measure length and distances. We know that one meter is equal to 100cm.

So,

100 cm = 1 meter

1 cm = \frac{1}{100} meter

Thus we can see that one hundredth of a meter stick is one centimeter.

The centimeter scale can be used to measure smaller lengths.

A helicopter starting on the ground is rising directly into the air at a rate of 25 ft/s. You are running on the ground starting
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The rate of change of the distance between the helicopter and yourself (in ft/s) after 5 s is \sqrt{725} ft/ sec

Explanation:

Given:

h(t) =  25 ft/sec

x(t) = 10 ft/ sec

h(5) = 25 ft/sec . 5 = 125 ft

x(5) = 10 ft/sec . 5 = 50 ft

Now we can calculate the distance between the person and the helicopter by using the Pythagorean theorem

D(t) = \sqrt{h^2 + x^2}

Lets find the derivative of distance with respect to time

\frac{dD}{dt} (t)  = \frac{2h \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} +2x \cdot\frac{dx}{dt}} {2\sqrt{h^2 + x^2}}

Substituting the values of h(t) and  x(t) and simplifying we get,

\frac{dD}{dt}(t) = \frac{50t \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} + 20 \cdot \frac{dx}dt}{2\sqrt{625\cdot t^2 + 100 \cdot t^2}}

\frac{dh}{dt} = 25ft/sec

\frac{dx}{dt} = 10 ft/sec

\frac{Dd}{dt} (t) = \frac{1250t +200t}{2\sqrt{725}t}  = \frac{725}{\sqrt{725}}  = \sqrt{725} ft / sec

A certain car traveling in a straight line path has a velocity of +10.0 m/s at some instant. after 3.00 s, its velocity is +6.00
makvit [3.9K]
The formula is:
v = v o + a t
6 = 10 + 3 * a
3 a = 10 - 6
a = 4 : 3
a =  - 1.33 m/s² ( because the car slows down )
Answer: The average acceleration of the car is - 1.33 m/s²

A passenger jet travels from Los angles to Bombay, India, in 22 h. The return flight takes 17 h. The difference in flight times
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

70.5 mph

Explanation:

A passenger jet travels from Los Angeles to Bombay, India, in 22h.

The return flight takes 17 h.

The difference in flight times is caused by winds over the Pacific Ocean that

blow primarily from west to east.

If the jet's average speed in still air is 550 mi/h what is the average speed

of the wind during the round trip flight? Round to the nearest mile per hour.

Is your answer reasonable?

:

Let w = speed of the wind

:

Write a distance equation (dist is the same both ways

17(550+w) = 22(550-w)

9350 + 17w = 12100 - 22w

17w + 22w = 12100 - 9350

39w = 2750

W = 2750/39

w = 70.5 mph seems very reasonable

:

Confirming if the solution by finding the distances using these value

17(550+70.5) = 10549 mi

22(550-70.5) = 10549 mi; confirms our solution of w = 70.5 mph

How do you identify the number of valence electrons in an element using periodic table
frosja888 [35]
You may look at what group they are in
Group
1A=Group 1
2A = Group 2
3A = Group 13
4A= Group 14
5A=Group 15
6A=Group 16
7A=Group 17

The #A tells you how many valence electrons there are by the # before A. Such as Chlorine, which is in 7A, so therefore has 7 valence electrons.
