You're staring at a traditional clock for 1 hour. after 1 hour, what is the angular displacement of the second hand? the minute
Anvisha [2.4K]
<span>During the hour, the second hand will have traveled a full 360 degrees times 60 for a total displacement of 21600 degrees or 21600*pi/180 = 120 pi radians, or approximately 376.99 radians. Also during that hour, the minute hand will have gone around a full 360 degrees, or 360*pi/180 = 2 pi radians, or approximately 6.28 radians. And finally, the hour hand will have gone 360/12 = 30 degrees or 30*pi/180 = pi/6 radians, or approximately 0.52 radians.</span>

A train is moving in the positive direction down a track. First the train speeds up, and then it slows down. What is its acceler
tatuchka [14]
C.

The train first sped up, giving it a positive acceleration in the beginning. This eliminates D since that choice states that it begins with a negative acceleration. This also eliminates B since that choice states that the train only had a negation acceleration.

Next, the train slows down, giving it a negative acceleration. We’re looking for the answer choice that starts with a positive acceleration and ends with a negative one. This makes C the correct answer. Hope this helps!

You hear a fire truck with a certain intensity, and you are about 1 mile away. Another person hears the same fire truck with an
marin [14]

The intensity of sound is just like the force of gravity, the force between electric charges, and the intensity of light . . . they all DEcrease at the same rate that the SQUARE of the distance INcreases.

So if two people are watching or listening to the same source, and one intensity is 1/10 as intense as the other intensity, then the farther person must be  √10  times as far from the source as the nearer person is.

√10 = 3.1622 ...

So the second guy is about <em>3.16 miles</em> from the fire truck.
