The Kentucky Derby is held at the Churchill Downs track in Louisville, Kentucky. The track is one and one-quarter miles in lengt

h. One of the most famous horses to win this event was Secretariat. In 1973 he set a Derby record that has never been broken. His average acceleration during the last four quarter-miles of the race was +0.0105 m/s2. His velocity at the start of the final mile was about +16.58 m/s. The acceleration, although small, was very important to his victory. To assess its effect, determine the difference between the time he would have taken to run the final mile at a constant velocity of +16.58 m/s and the time he actually took. Although the track is oval in shape, assume it is straight for the purpose of this problem. Number Units

Answer:

2.815 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 1609.34=16.58\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 0.0105\times t^2\\\Rightarrow \\\Rightarrow 4.905t^2+16.58t-1609.34=0

t=\frac{-16.58+\sqrt{308.69254}}{0.0105},\:t=\frac{-16.58-\sqrt{308.69254}}{0.0105}\\\Rightarrow t=94.25, -3252\ s

Time taken with the acceleration is 94.25 seconds

Time = Distance / Speed

\text{Time}=\frac{1609.34}{16.58}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time}=97.065\ s

Difference in time = 97.065-94.25 = 2.815 seconds

2. Which state of matter—solid, liquid, or gas—is the best at conducting heat? Why?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Best at conductioning heat- Solid

Explanation:

<u><em>In order for heat to conduct it has to pass from particle to particle.</em></u>

A solid has particles closely compacted so the heat is able to tranfer quickly from particle to particle.

A liquid has isn't as compacted it actually has enough space to slide over each other

A gas has very far apart particles and takes heat longer to transfer from one particle to another.

How would you go about separating the components of a mixture of sand, gravel, salt and iron filings
larisa86 [58]

Pour the entire components into water.

First the iron filings can be separated using a magnet as iron is a magnetic element.

By pouring the mixture into water, it allows the salt to dissolve in the water, while the sand will not.

Next we can run this solution through a filtration device to separate the sand from the water.

Now all that's left is to let the water evaporate so that the salt will be exposed that dissolved into the water.

scZoUnD [109]
<span>Generally speaking, the level of molecular motion is highest in gases, where molecules move around freely in space, bouncing off of each other, and lowest in solids, where molecules are bound together in a rigid structure. As such, the answer would be A; "the molecules in air move more than the molecules in wood".</span>
