Speed is equivalent to the distance traveled divided by the time it takes to travel that certain distance. 
To solve this problem convert the units first from meter and yards to miles. 100 metes is 0.0621371mi and 100 yards is 0.0568182 yard. 9.69s = 0.002691667 hr and 9.21s = 0.002558333

A.) 23mi/hr
B.) 22.20mi/hr

Answer:

A) The speed of the runner is 23.085 mile/hr.

B) The speed of the runner is 22.209 mile/hr.

Explanation:

Speed=\frac{\text{Distance covered}}{\text{Time taken}}=\frac{D}{T}

A) Distance covered in 9.69 seconds = 100 m

1 mile = 1609.34 m

100 m =100\times \frac{1}{1609.34} miles=0.062137 miles

1 hour = 3600 seconds

9.69 s = 9.69\times \frac{1}{3600} hr=0.002691 hr

Speed of the runner = \frac{0.062137 mile}{0.002691 hr}=23.085 mile/hr

The speed of the runner is 23.085 mile/hr.

B) Distance covered in 9.21 seconds = 100 yards

1 mile = 1760 yards

100 yards =100\times \frac{1}{1760 } miles=0.05681 miles

1 hour = 3600 seconds

9.21 s = 9.21\times \frac{1}{3600} hr=0.0025583 hr

Speed of the runner = \frac{0.05681 mile}{0.0025583 hr}=22.209 miles/hr

The speed of the runner is 22.209 mile/hr.

The process by which hot and cold air are transferred in the atmosphere is
Elan Coil [88]

Convection: the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.

What happens when an electron absorbs energy
Eduardwww [97]
When an electron absorbs energy, it will move up from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, called the "excited state" of the negatively-charged subatomic particle.<span> However, the absorbed energy is released within a small interval of time and the electron moves down to its "ground state."</span>

How much of a 0.250 M lithium hydroxide is required to neutralize 20.0 mL of 0.345M chlorous acid?
Bumek [7]

Answer:

27.6mL of LiOH 0.250M

Explanation:

The reaction of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) with chlorous acid (HClO₂) is:

LiOH + HClO₂ → LiClO₂ + H₂O

<em>That means, 1 mole of hydroxide reacts per mole of acid</em>

Moles of  20.0 mL = 0.0200L of 0.345M chlorous acid are:

0.0200L ₓ (0.345mol / L) = <em>6.90x10⁻³ moles of HClO₂</em>

To neutralize this acid, you need to add the same number of moles of LiOH, that is 6.90x10⁻³ moles. As the LiOH contains 0.250 moles / L:

6.90x10⁻³ moles ₓ (1L / 0.250mol) = 0.0276L of LiOH =

<h3>27.6mL of LiOH 0.250M</h3>

Burning one gallon of gasoline releases 20 pounds of CO2 into the air. Harry’s compact car can travel 25 miles on one gallon of
son4ous [18]
There are several information's already given in the question. Based on those information's, the answer can be easily deduced.
Amount of gasoline required by Harry's car to travel 25 miles = 1 gallon
Then
amount of gasoline required
by Harry's car to travel 15000 miles = 15000/25
                                                         = 600 gallons
So 
Amount of CO2 released by burning 1 gallon of gasoline = 20 pounds
Then
Amount of CO2 released
by burning 600 gallon of gasoline = 600 * 20
                                                      = 12000 pounds
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the amount of CO2 that will be added by Harry's car to the atmosphere is 12000 pounds.
