Answer:

600 seconds.

Explanation:

A caterpillar climbs up a one meter (100 cm) wall.

For every 2 cm caterpillar climbs up and slides down 1 cm.

That means caterpillar climbs up = 2 - 1 = 1 cm

Caterpillar reaches to the top in 10 minutes. We have to calculate the time in seconds.

Since 1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore, 10 minutes = 10×60 = 600 seconds

Time involved for the caterpillar to climb to the top will be 600 seconds.

4. A car accelerates, from rest, at 2.4 m/s?. How fast is the car traveling
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

19.2m/s

Explanation:

Assuming that 2.4m/s^2 was the acceleration and not a typo, we can use the equation v=at, where v=velocity, a=acceleration, and t=time,

plug in known varibles,

v=2.4*8

v=19.2m/s

What is the equation for determining the value of a specific gas constant using the universal gas constants
maria [59]

Answer:

Physically, the gas constant is the constant of proportionality that relates the energy scale in physics to the temperature scale, when a mole of particles at the stated temperature is being considered. Thus, the value of the gas constant ultimately derives from historical decisions and accidents in the setting of the energy and temperature scales, plus similar historical setting of the value of the molar scale used for the counting of particles.
