Answer:

= 1000 hours

Explanation:

Earth's circumference is 10⁴ mile

speed of a sailboat is 10¹ mile/hour

distance = speed × time

10⁴ = 10¹  × t

t = 10⁴ / 10¹

t = 10³

= 1000 hours

A jet liner must reach a speed of 82 m/s for takeoff. If the
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The acceleration that the jet liner that must have is 2.241 meters per square second.

Explanation:

Let suppose that the jet liner accelerates uniformly. From statement we know the initial (v_{o}) and final speeds (v_{f}), measured in meters per second, of the aircraft and likewise the runway length (d), measured in meters. The following kinematic equation is used to calculate the minimum acceleration needed (a), measured in meters per square second:

a = \frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot d}

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, v_{f} = 82\,\frac{m}{s} and d = 1500\,m, then the acceleration that the jet must have is:

a = \frac{\left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot (1500\,m)}

a = 2.241\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The acceleration that the jet liner that must have is 2.241 meters per square second.

Insulators have very high .
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Resistance to electrical currents

Explanation:

Conductors have low resistance to electrical currents, and are used to "conduct" the flow of electricity.

Insulators have very high resistance and are used to protect us from the flow of electricity.

Fofino [41]
When you add more water to the balloon, it makes it heavier. Therefore it would weigh the balloon down ( increasing mass) and increasing the energy to plummet down. So the answer is B.
