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

An automobile engine delivers 47.4 hp. how much time will it take for the engine to do 6.82 × 105 j of work? one horsepower is e
kogti [31]
1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, so the power of the engine is
P=47.4 hp \cdot 746  \frac{W}{hp}=35360 W
The power is also defined as the energy E per unit of time t:
P= \frac{E}{t}
Where the energy corresponds to the work done by the engine, which is E=6.82 \cdot 10^5 J. Re-arranging the formula, we can calculate the time t needed to do this amount of work:
t =  \frac{E}{P}= \frac{6.82 \cdot 10^5 J}{35360 W}=19.3 s
