Bill and Amy want to ride their bikes from their neighborhood to school which is 14.4 kilometers

1 answer:

3 0

First we should convert 14.4 km into meters using the conversion factor 1km = 1000m; thus, 14.4 km = 14,400 m. Next, we should convert all minutes into seconds <span>using the conversion factor 1 min = 60 seconds; thus, 40 mins = 2400 seconds while 20 minutes = 1200 seconds.
Speed = distance over time
Amy's speed = 14400 m / 2400 sec = 6m/s
Bill's time is 1200 sec + Amy's which is 2400 sec
Bill's speed = 14400m / 3600 sec = 4 m/s

Therefore, Amy is faster than Bill with 2 m/s difference.</span>

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

(A) 140 j/sec (b) 1.26 K

Explanation:

We have given the heat heat flowing into the refrigerator = 40 J/sec

Work done = 40 W

(a) So the heat discharged from the refrigerator $=heat\ flowing\ in\ refrigerator+work\ done=40+100=140j/sec$

(b) Total heat absorbed =140 j/sec $=140\times 3600=504000j/hour$

Let the temperature be $\Delta T$

Heat absorbed per hour =504000 $[tex]=400\times 10^3\times \Delta T$

So $\Delta T=\frac{504000}{400000}=1.26K$

Suppose that the acceleration of a model rocket is proportional to the difference between 100 ft/sec and the rocket's velocity.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 0

final velocity, v = 80 ft/s

acceleration, a = 150 ft/s²

Let the time taken is t.

v = u + at

80 = 0 + 150 x t

t = 0.53 second
