Answer:

165 minutes

Explanation:

We can break the numbers into prime numbers

15 = 3 * 5

33 = 3 * 11

55 = 5 * 11

The shortest time that must pass before they are all together again would be the least multiple that is divisible by all 3 number, which is

3 * 5 * 11 = 165

Hence after 165 minutes the 3 cars should all meet together again.

True or false<br> Hydrogen fuel cells generate electricity by combining hydrogen with oxygen.
adoni [48]

Answer:

The answer is: True.

Explanation:

If free electrons or other substances could travel through the electrolyte, they would disrupt the chemical reaction. Whether they combine at anode or cathode, together hydrogen and oxygen form water, which drains from the cell. As long as a fuel cell is supplied with hydrogen and oxygen, it will generate electricity.

A 20 kg child is on a swing that hangs from 3.0-m-long chains. what is her maximum speed if she swings out to a 45° angle?
fomenos

The solution for this problem is:

Remember that this doesn’t depend on the mass of the child.

E = T + U = constant 
E (maximum height) = T + U =U = mgh = mg[r - r· cos (Θ)] 

E (bottom height) = T + U = T = ½mv² = mg[r - r · cos (Θ)] 

v² = 2g[r – r · cos (Θ)] 


v = √ (2g[r-r·cos(Θ)])

= √(2(9.8)[3 – 3 · cos (45°)])

= 4.15 m/s or 15 kph

Answer:

Cu 8.92

Explanation:

The formula for density is mass/volume. If you were to divide 62.44 by 7, you would get 8.92. Since copper is the only metal in this table that has a density of 8.92, that is the answer.
