I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The air traffic controller is describing the airplane's velocity. Velocity<span> is a physical vector quantity; both magnitude and direction are needed to define it. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

The correct answer for this is B. Velocity. To find velocity you need the speed and direction, what we have. Sorry for the wait, Good luck :)

Why is Darwin criticized for his theory? and who were they
kondaur [170]

A few people criticized Darwin for his theory, such as the left-leaning biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Lewontin, who fear the political implications of Darwinian theory. They fear that evolutionary theory, even when bolstered by modern genetics, and molecular biology, does not make reality probable enough.

flipper (the dolphin) is out in the open ocean hunting tuna avec. he emits his pulse at 22khz and .42 seconds later he hears it
marusya05 [52]
First we need to find the speed of the dolphin sound wave in the water. We can use the following relationship between frequency and wavelength of a wave:
v=\lambda f
where
v is the wave speed
\lambda its wavelength
f its frequency
Using \lambda = 2 cm = 0.02 m and f=22 kHz = 22000 Hz, we get
v=(0.02 m)(22000 Hz)=440 m/s

We know that the dolphin sound wave takes t=0.42 s to travel to the tuna and back to the dolphin. If we call L the distance between the tuna and the dolphin, the sound wave covers a distance of S=2 L in a time t=0.42 s, so we can write the basic relationship between space, time and velocity for a uniform motion as:
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{2L}{t}
and since we know both v and t, we can find the distance L between the dolphin and the tuna:
L= \frac{vt}{2}= \frac{(440 m/s)(0.42 s)}{2}=92.4 m

How do I convert 200 yards into meters using Dimensional Analysis? Explain thoroughly. Thanks!
shtirl [24]

Explanation:

When doing this calculation manually, the formula of conversion that you need to use is yd / 1.0936 = m and this is the same formula used by the online calculator. For instance, 2yd = 1.83m and 15yd = 13.72m.

So 200 yards is (200 / 1.0936)

which is 182.88 Meters

Hope it helps..
