The best answer is b - span.

A span is the distance between two bridge supports The supports may be towers, columns, or even the wall of a canyon.

There are many kinds of bridges but they all fall into three types namely beam, arch and suspension. The major difference between these three kinds of bridges is the distance that each can cross in a single span.

For example, a modern beam bridge is likely to span a distance of 200 feet, a modern arch can span 800 or 1000feet, and a modern suspension bridge can span up to 7000ft.

A 87.0 kg astronaut is working on the engines of a spaceship that is drifting through space with a constant velocity. The astron

Ket [755]

Answer:

259.62521 seconds

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of astronaut = 87 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of wrench = 0.57 kg

$v_1$ = Velocity of astronaut

$v_2$ = Velocity of wrench = 22.4 m/s

Here, the linear momentum is conserved

$m_1v_1=m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{0.57\times 22.4}{87}\\\Rightarrow v_1=0.14675\ m/s$

Time = Distance / Speed

$Time=\frac{38.1}{0.14675}=259.62521\ s$

The time taken to reach the ship is 259.62521 seconds

An astronaut on a small planet wishes to measure the local value of g by timing pulses traveling down a wire which has a large o

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The gplanet is 0.193 m/s^2

Explanation:

The speed of the pulse is:

$v=\frac{lengthofthewipe}{traveltime} =\frac{1.6}{0.0656} =15.24m/s$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{MgL}{m} } \\v^{2} =\frac{MgL}{m} \\g=\frac{mv^{2} }{ML}$

where

m=mass of the wire=4 g= 4x10^-3 kg

M=mass of the object= 3 kg

Replacing values:

$g=\frac{4x10^{-3}*15.24^{2} }{3*1.6} =0.193 m/s^{2}$

in order to qualify for the finals in a racing event, a race car must achieve an average speed of 278 km/h on a track with a tot

Pachacha [2.7K]

The minimum average speed it must have in the second half of the event in order to qualify is 414.7 km/h.

<h3>What is average speed?</h3>

The average speed of an object is the ratio of total distance traveled by the object to the total time of motion of the object.

<h3>Total time taken by the car during the entire race</h3>

time = distance/average speed

time = (1.41 km) / (278 km/h)

time = 0.0051 hr

The car travels the first half of the race, d (¹/₂ x 1410 m) at 210 km/h;

d = 705 m = 0.705 km

t1 = 0.705/210

t1 = 0.0034 hr

<h3>time for the second half</h3>

t2 = 0.0051 - 0.0034 hr

t2 = 0.0017 hr

<h3>minimum average speed of the second half</h3>

v = d/t

v = 0.705 km / 0.0017 hr

v = 414.7 km/hr

Thus, the minimum average speed it must have in the second half of the event in order to qualify is 414.7 km/h.
