A hurricane is a huge storm that forms over warm ocean waters. Many hurricanes enter the Gulf of Mexico and move in a northweste

rly direction. A hurricane travels a distance of 20 miles in 1 hour. Determine the hurricane's speed. (SPEED = DISTANCE / TIME)

Answer:

536.448m/s or 20miles/hr

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the distance travelled by a body or an object in a specified time.

Speed = Distance/Time

If a hurricane travels a distance of 20 miles in 1 hour.

Distance travelled = 20miles

Time taken = 1hour

Speed = 20miles/1hour

Speed = 20miles/hr

Since 1mile = 1609.344m

20miles = 20×1609.344

20miles = 32186.88m

1hour = 60seconds

Expressing the speed in m/s

Speed = 32186.88m/60s

Speed = 536.448m/s

Answer:

The remaining light bulbs will go out.

Explanation:

The light bulb that was taken out routed power to the other light bulbs, there for, not giving power to the next light bulbs will make them turn off or, "go out". This may be incorrect, as you did not provide a picture of the circuit.

An object has an acceleration of 6.0 m/s/s. If the net force was doubled and the mass was one-third the original value, then the
alexandr402 [8]

Hahahahaha. Okay.

So basically , force is equal to mass into acceleration.

F=ma

so when F=ma , we get acceleration=6m/s/s

Force is doubled.

Mass is 1/3 times original.

2F=1/3ma

Now , we rearrange , and we get 6F=ma

So , now for 6 times the original force , we get 6 times the initial acceleration.

So new acceleration = 6*6= 36m/s/s

What would the velocity of an object be if it was on a 1.75m
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

T = 4 sec / 2 = 2 sec      period of revolution

S = 2 pi R = 2 * pi * 1.75 m = 11 m

V = S / T = 11 m / 2 sec = 5.5 m/s       speed of object

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the magnitude of the dri
nordsb [41]

Complete Question

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the drift velocity of the electrons. (The cross-sectional area of a 10-gauge wire is 5.261 mm2.) mm/s

Answer:

The drift velocity is v  = 0.0002808 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The current on the copper is  I  = 20 \ A

     The cross-sectional area is  A =  5.261 \ mm^2 =  5.261 *10^{-6} \ m^2

The number of copper atom in the wire is  mathematically evaluated

      n  =  \frac{\rho *  N_a}Z}

Where \rho is the density of copper with a value \rho =  8.93 \ g/m^3

          N_a is the Avogadro's number with a value N_a  = 6.02 *10^{23}\ atom/mol

         Z  is the molar mass of copper with a value  Z =  63.55 \ g/mol

So

     n  =  \frac{8.93 * 6.02 *10^{23}}{63.55}

     n  = 8.46 * 10^{28}  \  atoms /m^3

Given the 1 atom is equivalent to 1 free electron then the number of free electron is  

         N  = 8.46 * 10^{28}  \  electrons

The current through the wire is mathematically represented as

         I  =  N * e * v * A

substituting values

        20 =  8.46 *10^{28} * (1.60*10^{-19}) * v *  5.261 *10^{-6}

=>     v  = 0.0002808 \ m/s

To make sure you understand how to use the equation, suppose that there are 1000 habitable planets in our galaxy, that 1 in 10 h
krok68 [10]

Answer:

5

Explanation:

Number of habitable planets = 1000

Fraction of planet with life = 1/10

Fraction of planet with life and civilization (before) = 1/4

Fraction of planet with life and civilization (now) =1/5

Therefore multiplying we have:

1000×1/10×1/4×1/5 = 5
