If jack was traveling at 100 miles in 2 hours what was his speed in miles per minute?

Physics
1 answer:
Ludmilka [50]3 years ago

Speed = (distance) / (time)

Speed = (100 mi/2 hr)

Multiply by a fraction equal to 1 :

Speed = (100 mi/2 hr) x (1 hr/60 min)

Speed = (100 x 1 / 2 x 60) (mi-hr/hr-min)

Speed = (100 / 120) (mi / min)

Speed = 5/6 mi/min

<em>Speed =  0.833... mi/min</em>

daser333 [38]

Answer:

a) 0.31 rad/s

b) 100 J

c) 6.67 W

Explanation:

(a) the force would generate a torque of:

T = FR = 18 * 2.4 = 43.2 Nm

According to Newton 2nd law, the angular acceleration would be

\alpha = \frac{T}{I} = \frac{43.2}{2100} = 0.021 rad/s^2

It starts from rest, then after 15s it would achieve a speed of

\omega = \alpha t = 0.021 * 15 = 0.31 rad/s

(b) The distance angle swept by it is:

\theta = \frac{\alpha t^2}{2} = \frac{0.021 * 15^2}{2} = 2.314 rad

Hence the work by the child

W = T\theta = 43.2 *2.314  \approx 100 J

c) Average power to work per time unit

P = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{100}{15} = 6.67 W

What causes the spiral structural in milky way?
Mrac [35]
The spiral structure of the milky way can be explained by long lived quasi-static density waves<em>, </em><em>according to the lin-shu hypothesis. </em>Curiously, the waves of higher density gas and stars (seen as spiral arms) appear to remain static as stars move around the galaxy. This explained by assuming that the gravitational disturbances cause by the 'clumping' material in the arms does not affect the gravitational field of the galaxy as whole and is therefore negligible.

Why do we see the sun before it actually rises in the morning?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

It appears to rise and set because of the Earth's rotation on its axis. It makes one complete turn every 24 hours. It turns toward the east. As the Earth rotates toward the east, it looks like the sun is moving west.

faltersainse [42]

They discovered a vaccine to reduce illnesses, specifically Polio and Influenza. The work of Salk and Sabin has almost eradicated what was once a deadly disesase ( polio) . For example, there were 350,000 deaths related to poliovirus  across the world in 1988 and they reduced to 22 in 2017. Also, their work has saved millions of lives from polio induced paralysis
