The answer is 0.5 hours.

A velocity (v) of an object is a distance (d) divided by time (t):
v = d ÷ t                         ⇒                  t = d ÷ v

It is given:
v1 = 192 km/h
v2 = 960 km/h
t1 - t2 = 2h
We need to calculate t2.

Since they will travel the same distance before the jet overtakes the plane, we can say that d1 = d2 = d

Now, let's express t1 and t2:
t1 = d/192
t2 = d/960

Therefore: d/192 - d/960 = 2
The least common denominator is 960, so:
5d/960 - d/960 = 2
4d/960 = 2
4d = 2 · 960
4d = 1920
d = 1920 ÷ 4 = 480 km

Now t2 = d/960 = 480/960 = 0.5 hours.

A car is traveling at a speed of miles per hour. What is the car's speed in kilometers per hour? How many kilometers will the ca
mihalych1998 [28]

Complete Question:

As you may have intentionally forgotten to mention the important data elements in your question like at what rate a car is travelling and number of hours car will travel in required number of miles etc. After a little research it seems I have found the complete question you were supposed to write. Hence, I am answering based on this complete question, but anyways, it would certainly improve your concept. Here is the complete question:

<em>A car is traveling at a rate of 60 kilometers per hour. What is the car's rate in miles per hour? How many miles will the car travel in 4 hours? In your computations, assume that 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers. Do not round your answers.</em>

<em>Answer:</em>

The car will travel 37.5 miles in one hour.

The car travel 150 miles in 4 hours.

<em>Fetching data from Question:</em>

The rate at which car is traveling: 60 kilometers per hour

one mile = 1.6 km

<em>a) How many miles a car will travel in one hour?</em>

<em>b) How many miles will the car travel in 4 hours?</em>

<em>Calculation:</em>

<em>a) How many miles a car will travel in one hour?</em>

As one mile is equal to 1.6 km.

The rate at which car is traveling: 60 kilometers per hour

So, just divide 60 with 1.6 to get in miles

                      i.e. 60/1.6 = 37.5 miles per hour  

So, the car will travel 37.5 miles in one hour.

<em>b) How many miles will the car travel in 4 hours?</em>

As the car will travel 4 hours.

And car travels 37.5 miles in one hour

So, just multiply the number of hours i.e. 4 with the miles in one hour (speed) i.e. 37.5 to calculate the distance in 4 hours. So,

                                 The distance =  speed × time

                                                        =  37.5  × 4

                                                        =  150 miles

So, the car travel 150 miles in 4 hours.

The diagram below represents changes that take place within the human body. The diagram
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Dynamic equilibrium

Step-by-step explanation:

Dynamic equilibrium in the human body is achieved when there is an internal control which tends to oppose certain outside forces which could affect the body. It's known to be the ability to detect and respond to stimuli by living organisms. When these stimuli occur, there are feedbacks or responses that are sent or received by the body to maintain stability. This dynamic equilibrium of the internal environment can also be seen as homeostasis.
