The answer is 789.25 which you’d subtract 2011.25-122.2 I think sry if I’m wrong

Answer:

a) 16.45 \frac{m}{s} b) 36.94 \frac{mi}{h}

Explanation:

The average speed is given by the formula: \frac{distance}{time}

The distance covered is 2011.25m , and the time is 122.2s.

Replacing in the formula: speed_{avg} = \frac{2011.25 m}{122.2s}

Resulting in a) speed_{avg} = 16.45 \frac{m}{s}.

To get the result in mi/h, do the following conversion:

<em>Knowing : 1 mi = 1603 m   and  1 h = 3600 seg </em>

  • <em> 16.45\frac{ m}{s}*(\frac{1mi}{1603m } ) *(\frac{3600s}{1h} ) = 36.94\frac{mi}{h}</em>

At what distance will the weight of a body be halved , Earth's radius=6.4×10^6
Sholpan [36]

A body of mass m has weight

F = GMm/r²

on the surface of the Earth, where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, and r is it's radius.

If the weight is to be halved, then we have

1/2 F = 1/2 GMm/r² = (1/√2)² GMm/r² = GMm/(√2 r²)

so the distance between the body and the planet's center needs to be

√2 × 6.4 × 10⁶ m ≈ 9.1 × 10⁶ m

Air escaping out from an air hose at a gas station always feels cool. Why? ​
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The air is contained at a high pressure in the tube. When it escapes from a small orifice, it suddenly expands. A large amount of its heat is absorbed in the process of expansion resulting in considerable fall in its temperature. This is why the escaping air feels cold.

Tasting and smelling both involve the ability to sense chemicals. true or false
lara31 [8.8K]
TRUE.
Taste and smell senses are separate senses with their own receptor organs yet they are intimately entwined. Tastants, chemicals in foods are detected by taste buds which consist of special sensory cells.. When stimulated, these cells send signals to specific areas of the brain which then makes us conscious of the perception of taste. Also specialized cells in the nose pick up odorants, airborne odor molecules. Odorants stimulate receptor proteins found on hairlike cilia at the tips of the sensory cells, a process that initiates a neural response.

A 328-kg car moving at 19.1 m/s in the + x direction hits from behind a second car moving at 13.0 m/s in the same direction. If
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

+14.0 m/s

Explanation:

we have mV + Mv = mU + Mu we solve for U = (mV + Mv - Mu)/m = (328*19.1 + 790*13 - 790*15.1)/328 = 14. Answer
