You'll never get the correct answer without the correct conversion factor. Note carefully that you have no decimal. It should be
<span>1 km = 0.6214 miles </span>
<span>1000 m = 1 km </span>
<span>60 seconds = 1 minute </span>
<span>60 minutes = 1 hour. </span>
<span>2.998E8 m/s x (1 km/1000m) x (0.6214 miles/km) x (60 sec/min) x (60 min/hr) = ?</span>

The angular velocity of a flywheel obeys the equa tion w(1) A Br2, where t is in seconds and A and B are con stants having numer

makkiz [27]

Answer:

$A \to rad/s$

$B \to rad/s^3$

Explanation:

$\omega_z(t)=A + Bt^2$

Required

The units of A and B

From the question, we understand that:

$\omega_z(t) \to rad/s$

This implies that each of $A$ and $Bt^2$ will have the same unit as $\omega_z(t)$

So, we have:

$A \to rad/s$

$Bt^2 \to rad/s$

The unit of t is (s); So, the expression becomes

$B * s^2 \to rad/s$

Divide both sides by $s^2$

$B \to \frac{rad/s}{s^2}$

$B \to rad/s^3$

A man on a road trip drives a car at different constant speeds over several legs of the trip. He drives for 15.0 min at 50.0 km/

JulsSmile [24]

Answer

given

Case 1-Speed of car 50 Km/h for 15 min

Case 2-Speed of car 85 Km/h for 19 min

Case 3 - Speed of car 60 km/h for 55 min

lunch break time = 25 min

a) total distance travel

we know,

distance = speed x time

$D = 50 \times \dfrac{15}{60} + 85 \times \dfrac{19}{60} + 60\times \dfrac{55}{60}$

D = 94.42 Km

b) $average\ speed = \dfrac{total\ distance}{total\ time}$

$average\ speed = \dfrac{94.42}{\dfrac{15}{60}+\dfrac{19}{60}+\dfrac{55}{60}+\dfrac{25}{60}}$

$average\ speed = 49.69\ km/h$
