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

Elis [28]
<span> Weight = mass x acceleration
Earths acceleration is 9.8 m/s*2
1 kg = 2.2 lbs, so 2.0 lbs x 1 kg/2.2 lbs = 0.91 kg
The bag would have a weight of 9.8 x 0.91 = 8.9 N

1. 8.9 x 1/6 = 1.5 N

2. 8.9 x 2.64 = 23.5 N

The mass of the bag at all three locations is 0.91 kg. Mass does not change, the different locations only change its weight. </span>

What is the electric potential v due to the nucleus of hydrogen at a distance of 5.292×10−11 m ?
viktelen [127]

Answer: 27.21 V

Explanation:

The <u>electric potential</u> V_{E} due to a point charge is expressed as:

V_{E}=k\frac{q}{r}

Where:

k=9(10)^{9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}} is the <u>electric constant</u>

q=1.6(10)^{-19}C is the <u>electric charge of the hydrogen nucleus</u>, which is positive

r=5.292(10)^{-11}m is the <u>distance</u>

Rewritting the equation with the known values:

V_{E}=9(10)^{9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}\frac{1.6(10)^{-19}C}{5.292(10)^{-11}m}

Finally:

V_{E}=27.21 V

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

It is possible for sedimentary rocks to be converted to igneous rocks. Under conditions of high temperature and pressure, sedimentary rocks can be broken down into igneous rock by melting this rock type.

When the rock is broken down, it forms melt which when cooled and solidifies will form igneous rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the breaking down of pre-existing rocks through the action of weathering, erosion and sediment transportation. Within a basin, the sediments are compacted and lithified.

When this is subjected to intense pressure and temperature, the rock hardens and might further break down to melt.
