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

Which of the following would most likely utilize a particulate control device?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

Correct answer: D). All of the above The particulate control device is a device that is used for the separation of the material that is of a bigger size as compared to filter. In the factory smokestack, the particulate control device filters the particulate matter that is known to cause air pollution. In the vacuum cleaner, a fine dust particle is filtered out. In the laundry dryer, the water and dirt molecule is allowed to pass through it. Hence, all the options are correct.so therefore your answer would be all

A police car is traveling north on a straight road at a constant 16.0 m/s. An SUV traveling north at 30.0 m/s passes the police
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

It will take 15.55s for the police car to pass the SUV

Explanation:

We first have to establish that both the police car and the SUV will travel the same distance in the same amount of time. The police car is moving at constant velocity and the SUV is experiencing a deceleration. Thus we will use two distance fromulas (for constant and accelerated motions) with the same variable for t and x:

1. x=x_{0}+vt

2. x=x_{0}+v_{0}t+\frac{at^{2}}{2}

Since both cars will travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:

vt = v_{0}t+\frac{at^2}{2}\\\\   16\frac{m}{s}t =30\frac{m}{s}t-\frac{1.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}}{2}

We simplify the fraction present and rearrange for our formula so that it equals 0:

0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}-14\frac{m}{s}t=0 \\\\ t(0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-14\frac{m}{s})=0

In the very last step we factored a common factor t. There is two possible solutions to the equation at t=0 and:

0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-14\frac{m}{s}=0 \\\\  0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}t =14\frac{m}{s} \\\\ t =\frac{14\frac{m}{s}}{0.9\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=15.56s

What this means is that during the displacement of the police car and SUV, there will be two moments in time where they will be next to each other; at t=0 s (when the SUV passed the police car) and t=15.56s(when the police car catches up to the SUV)

A solid cylinder of uniform density of 0.85 g/cm3 floats in a glass of water tinted light blue by food coloring.
SVEN [57.7K]

Each side has to have at least 44 horses

F61160 N. This is further explained below.

<h3>What is the force?</h3>

Generally, We are only interested in the component that operates horizontally since the vertical components all cancel each other out. The pressure difference works on the hemisphere to generate a normal force all over the surface, but we are only concerned with that force's horizontal component. This may be determined by supposing the hemispheres to be two flat circular plates of the same radius as the hemispheres that have been forced together.

Therefore, force is equal to pressure multiplied by area, which is

F= (970 -15 )( * (0.45 m)2)

F=60754 N for each side.

Therefore, each side has to have at least 44 horses

44* 1390 = 61160 N
