Two students who live on planet X. They want to estimate the circumference. The two students synchronize their watches before on

Answer:

72000 miles

Explanation:

If the distance between the students is 600 miles, and this implies in a 3 degree difference in the sun position, that means this 600 miles is related to 3 degrees of the circunference of the planet.

So, to find the whole circunference of the planet, that is, 360 degrees, we just need to use a rule of three:

3 degrees -> 600 miles

360 degrees -> x miles

3x = 600 * 360

x = 600 * 360 / 3 = 72000 miles

In mammals, the weight of the heart is approximately 0.5% of the total body weight. Write a linear model that gives the heart we
hammer [34]

Answer:

1201 lbs

Explanation:

Given that in mammals, the weight of the heart is approximately 0.5% of the total body weight.

Let the weight of the heart of a mammal be H

And the weight of the total body be B

The linear model that can gives the heart weight in terms of the total body weight will be:

H = 0.005B

B.) To find the weight of the heart of a whale whose weight is 2.402 × 105 lbs, substitute the whole weight in the formula.

H = 0.005 × 2.402 × 10^5

H = 1201 lbs

Therefore, the weight of the heart of the whale is 1201 lbs

An electron is brought from rest infinitely far away to rest at point P located at a distance of 0.041 m from a fixed charge q.
torisob [31]

Answer:

The electric potential in volts is 1.618 x 10⁻¹⁷ V

Explanation:

The electric potential, in volts, at point P, can be calculated as follow;

Electric potential is the work done in moving a unit positive charge from infinity to a particular point in the electric field.

Thus, the work done in this process in moving the charge to point p is 101eV.

Convert this Volts = 101 × 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ V

                              = 1.618 x 10⁻¹⁷ V

Therefore, the electric potential in volts is 1.618 x 10⁻¹⁷ V

A moving object has a kinetic energy of 150 J and a momentum of 25.1 kg·m/s.
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

11.95m/s

Explanation:

A moving object has a kinetic energy of 150 J and a momentum of 25.1 kg·m/s.

a) Find the speed of the object. Answer in units of m

K. E =½mv²

150= ½mv²

Multiply both sides by 2

mv² = 300

Divide both sides by v²

m = 300/v² ..................  Equation 1

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity

Momentum = mv

25.1 = mv

Divide both sides by v

m = 25.1/v ................ Equation 2

Equate equations 1 and 2

300/v² = 25.1/v

Cross multiply

25.1v² = 300v

Multiply v with both sides

25.1v = 300

Divide both sides by 25.1

v = 300/25.1

V = 11.95m/s

A shark travels with an average velocity of 12 m/s s. How long (time) would it take the shark to swim 42 m at that velocity
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

d = 42 meters

v = 12 m/s

t = ?

t = d/v

t = 42 / 12

t = 3.5 seconds. That's awfully fast.
