The problem itself reduces the interval of time many times, almost reaching zero. However, if we assume the interval constant, then it is clear that in two hours Achilles already has surpassed the Tortoise (20 miles while the Tortoise only 3).

To calculate the time, we use kinematic expression for constant speed:

$x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{tor}v_{tor}=1+t_{tor}\\x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{ach}v_{ach}=10t_{ach}$

The moment that Achilles catch the tortoise is found by setting the same final position for both (and same time as well, since both start at the same time):

$1+t=10t\\t=1/9 hour=0.11 hours$

You add 500 mL of water at 10°C to 100 mL of water at 70°C. What is the

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Option (c) : 20°C

Explanation:

$t(final) = \frac{w1 \times t1 + w2 \times t2}{w1 + w2}$

T(final) = 500* 10 + 100*70/600 = 20°C

How are the mass and weight of an object related? Include a description with words and an equation.

nikdorinn [45]

The weight is the force experienced, whereas the mass represents the actual quantity of matter inside a body..
weigh on the surface of the earth is equal to mg
mass is m
and at the centre weight is 0 due to 0 acceleration that's 0 g
but mass is always constant and remains m, no matter where you are
