An automobile tire is rated to last for 35,000 miles. to an order of magnitude, through how many revolutions will it turn?

1 answer:

7 0

The tire will rotate about 10 million times. An automobile tire is slightly less than 2 and half feet in diameter. It's circumference is that times pi with is a bit over 3. So 2.5 * 3 = 7.5 ft as an estimate for how far the tire rolls per revolution. A mile is a bit over 5000 feet, so call it 700 revolutions per mile. For the 35000 miles, call it 7 times 5000 miles. Now 7 times 7 is a bit under 50, so call 7 * 700 = 5000. And 5000 times 5000 = 25000000. The nearest order of magnitude is 10 million. So as an order of magnitude estimate, a automobile tire will rotate about 10 million times during it's life.

irina [24]

Because the specific metals aren’t mentioned in this inquiry. The educational guesses that we can propose is that:
1. The hypothetical inquiry: There are existing metals for making pots that will cook food much faster.

2. The one-tailed alternative hypothesis: There are other metals for making pots that will cook food much faster than the other metals. 
3. The one-tailed null hypothesis: All metals that are used in making pots will cook food at an equal rate.
