Your question kind of petered out there towards the end and you didn't specify
the terms, so I'll pick my own.

The "Hubble Constant" hasn't yet been pinned down precisely, so let's pick a
round number that's in the neighborhood of the last 20 years of measurements:

             <em>70 km per second per megaparsec</em>.

We'll also need to know that 1 parsec = about 3.262 light years.

So the speed of your receding galaxy is

         (Distance in LY) x (1 megaparsec / 3,262,000 LY) x (70 km/sec-mpsc) =

              (150 million) x  (1 / 3,262,000) x (70 km/sec) =

                                 <em>3,219 km/sec  </em>in the direction away from us (rounded)

Answer:

C. Talk test

Explanation:

The talk test would be readily available to me at the the least cost.

The talk test is about the easiest way that one can monitor intensity as they exercise. Because the only thing needed here is the ability to talk and to breathe.

The intensity lies on if one can talk and breathe at the same time. The harder one exercises, the more breathless they become and they find it difficult to talk.

A skateboarder jumps horizontally off the top of a staircase and lands at bottom of the stairs. The staircase has a horizontal l
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The vertical velocity of the skater upon landing is 10.788 meters per second.

Explanation:

Skateboarder experiments a parabolic movement. As skateboarder jumps horizontally off the top of the staircase, it means that vertical component of initial velocity is zero and accelerates by gravity, the final vertical speed is calculated by the following expression:

v = v_{o} + g\cdot t

Where:

v_{o} - Initial vertical speed, measured in meters per second.

v - Final vertical speed, measured in meters per second.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

Given that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and t = 1.10\,s, the final velocity of the skater upon landing is:

v = 0\,\frac{m}{s} + \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (1.10\,s)

v = -10.788\,\frac{m}{s}

The vertical velocity of the skater upon landing is 10.788 meters per second.
