<u>Answer:</u>

Mass of leaves in scientific notation = 3.55*10^8kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Number of leaves released by type of deciduous tree  = 7500 leaves on average each fall

  Mass of 1 leaf = 1.7 grams = 1.7*10^{-3}kg

  Mass of 7500 leaves = 7500*1.7*10^{-3} = 12.75kg

  No trees per acre = 206

  Area of forest = 135,000 acre.

  Total no of trees in 135,000 acre = 135,000 * 206 = 2.781*10^7 trees

  Mass of leaves fallen in 135,000 acre =  12.75*2.781*10^7=3.55*10^8kg

  Mass of leaves in scientific notation = 3.55*10^8kg

Two metra trains approach each other on separate but parallel tracks. one has a speed of 90 km/hr, the other 80 km/hr. initially
Gennadij [26K]

The trains take <u>57.4 s</u> to pass each other.

Two trains A and B move towards each other. Let A move along the positive x axis and B along the negative x axis.

therefore,

v_A=90 km/h\\ v_B=-80 km/h

The relative velocity of the train A with respect to B is given by,

v_A_B=v_A-v_B\\ =(90km/h)-(-80km/h)\\ =170km/h

If the train B is assumed to be at rest, the train A would appear to move towards it with a speed of 170 km/h.

The trains are a distance d = 2.71 km apart.

Since speed is the distance traveled per unit time, the time taken by the trains to cross each other is given by,

t= \frac{d}{v_A_B}

Substitute 2.71 km for d and 170 km/h for v_A_B

t= \frac{d}{v_A_B}\\ =\frac{2.71 km}{170 km/h} \\ =0.01594 h

Express the time in seconds.

t=(0.01594h)(3600s/h)=57.39s

Thus, the trains cross each other in <u>57.4 s</u>.

A rocket is fired at 100 m/s at an angle of 37, what was its speed at the top of its path?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

0m/s

Explanation:

Since its fired at an angle, at the top there will be a split second where the velocity will be 0, as it has a parabolic shape, so the speed at the top of its path is 0

An aluminum wire is 5.87 m long and has a diameter of 6.07 mm.
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: 5.72 x 10-3Ω

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first we have to calculate the cross sectional area of the cable:

Diameter (D)=6.07 mm

Since: 1000mm = 1m

6.07mm/ 1000mm/m = 0.00607 meters

Area of a circle : π (d/2)^2

A = π (0.00607/2)^2= 0.000028937 m2

Resistance formula:

Resistance (R) = P(resistivity) L (length)÷A (cross sectional area )

Replacing with the values given:

R = (2.82x10-8 x 5.87) / 0.000028937

R = 5.72 x 10-3Ω

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
