Answer:

Average speed of passenger jet

$s = 471.48\ mi/hr$

Explanation:

Let s be the average speed of the passenger jet.

Given:

Distance from one airport to another airport $d = 1273\ mi$

Total time taken $t = 2.7\ hr$

We need to find the average speed of the passenger jet.

Solution:

Average speed formula:

The ratio of the total distance travelled by the object to the time taken to cover that distance.

$Average\ speed = \frac{Total\ distance\ travelled}{Total\ time\ taken}$

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

Substitute total distance and time value in above equation.

$s = \frac{1273}{2.7}$

$s = 471.48\ mi/hr$

Therefore, the average speed of the passenger jet is $s = 471.48\ mi/hr$ .

The world's fastest production sportscar has a top speed of 415 kmh-1(a)Convert this speed to ms-1.[ 1](b)The distance from Lond

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

(a). The speed is 115.28 m/s.

(b). The time is 94 min.

(c). The International Space Station travels 43202.400 km.

(d). Speed is scalar quantity.

Velocity is vector quantity.

Explanation:

Given that,

Top speed = 415 km/h

1 miles = 1609 m

(a). We need to calculate the speed in m/s

Using conversion of km/h to m/s

$v=415\ km/h$

$v=415\times\dfrac{5}{18}$

$v=115.28\ m/s$

(b). We need to calculate the distance from London to Edinburgh in km

Using conversion for distance

$d=403\ miles$

Distance in meter,

$d=403\times1609$

$d=648427\ m$

$d=648.427\ km$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{648.427}{415}$

$t=1.56\ h$

$t=1\ hours 34\ min$

$t= 94\ min$

(c). Speed v' =7.66 km/s

v'=7660 m/s

In the time it takes the car to travel from London to Edinburgh,

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

$d'=v'\times t$

Put the value into the formula

$d'=7660\times94\times60$

$d'=43202400\ m$

$d'=43202.400\ km$

(d). Speed :

Speed is equal to the distance divided by time.

It is scalar quantity.

Velocity :

Velocity is equal to the displacement divided by time.

It is vector quantity.

Hence, (a). The speed is 115.28 m/s.

(b). The time is 94 min.

(c). The International Space Station travels 43202.400 km.

(d). Speed is scalar quantity.

Velocity is vector quantity.

is dimensionally correct relation necessarily to be a correct physical relation? explain with example.

Andreas93 [3]

Answer: hope it helps you...❤❤❤❤

Explanation: If your values have dimensions like time, length, temperature, etc, then if the dimensions are not the same then the values are not the same. So a “dimensionally wrong equation” is always false and cannot represent a correct physical relation.

No, not necessarily.

For instance, Newton’s 2nd law is F=p˙ , or the sum of the applied forces on a body is equal to its time rate of change of its momentum. This is dimensionally correct, and a correct physical relation. It’s fine.

But take a look at this (incorrect) equation for the force of gravity:

F=−G(m+M)Mm√|r|3r

It has all the nice properties you’d expect: It’s dimensionally correct (assuming the standard traditional value for G ), it’s attractive, it’s symmetric in the masses, it’s inverse-square, etc. But it doesn’t correspond to a real, physical force.

It’s a counter-example to the claim that a dimensionally correct equation is necessarily a correct physical relation.

A simpler counter example is 1=2 . It is stating the equality of two dimensionless numbers. It is trivially dimensionally correct. But it is false.

Naily [24]

Since the statement of the problem is to determine if levels of acidity in sea water affect the strength of a sea snail's shell, then the best statement of hypothesis should be:

"<span> if the shells are affected by the level of acidity, then they will be weaker.</span>"

That hypothesis refers directly to the theory being questions in the problem.
