Answer:

A yard is shorter than a meter.

Explanation:

>>>1 yard is 0.914 m, so a yard is shorter than a meter.

>>>1 mile is 1.609 km, so a mile is longer than a kilometer

>>>1 foot is 30.48cm, so a foot longer than a centimeter

>>> 1 inch is 2.54cm, so an inch is longer than a centimeter

From the above relationships, only a yard is shorter than a meter is true. Others are wrong.

Froghopper insects have a typical mass of around 12.5 mg and can jump to a height of 42.3 cm. The takeoff velocity is achieved a
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

2065.005 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-0^2}{2\times h}\\\Rightarrow v^2=2ah\ m/s

Now H-h = 42.3 - 0.2 = 42.1 cm = 0.421 m

The final velocity will be the initial velocity

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow 0^2-u^2=2gs\\\Rightarrow -2ah=2\times g(H-h)\\\Rightarrow -2a0.002=2\times g0.421\\\Rightarrow a=-\frac{0.421\times -9.81}{0.002}\\\Rightarrow a=2065.005\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the frog is 2065.005 m/s²

An 85-kg man plans to tow a 109 000-kg airplane along a runway by pulling horizontally on a cable attached to it. Suppose that h
Lelu [443]

Answer:

The greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane is 0.0059 m/s².

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of man = 85 kg

Mass of airplane = 109000 kg

Distance = 9.08

Coefficient of static friction = 0.77

We need to calculate the greatest friction force

Using formula of friction

F=\mu mg

Where, m = mass of man

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

F = 0.77\times85\times9.8

F= 641.41\ N

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of newton's second law

F = ma

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

Put the value into the formula

a=\dfrac{ 641.41}{109000}

a=0.0059\ m/s^2

Hence, The greatest acceleration the man can give the airplane is 0.0059 m/s².

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Technician A

Explanation:

If Technician B was correct, and the master cylinder is defective - then no braking action would occur.

This is not true however, as some breaking action eventually occurs, meaning it must be out of adjustment.
