Distance traveled by the race horse=6 furlongs

Converting the distance from furlongs to rods: 40 rods =1 furlong

6 furlongs*\frac{40rods}{1furlong} =240rods

Converting the distance from rods to yards, feet and miles: 5.5 yards = 1 rod, 3foot =1 yard, 1 mile = 5280 feet.

240rods*\frac{5.5yards}{1rod}*\frac{3foot}{1yard}*\frac{1mi}{5280feet}=0.75mi

The given speed of race horse = 40.7mi/hr

Calculating the time required:

0.75mi*\frac{1hr}{40.7mi}*\frac{60min}{1hr}*\frac{60s}{1min}= 66.34s

Therefore, 66.34 s is required for a race horse to run six furlongs at 40.7 miles per hour.

Why is a thermocouple a good device for indicating the temperature<br><br> in a car engine?
Anna35 [415]

A thermocouple is a sensor used to measure temperature. Thermocouples are made with two wires of different metals, joined together at one end to form a junction. ... Naturally, a thermocouple outputs a millivolt signal, therefore, as the resistance changes, the change in voltage can be measured.

Answer:

C and D

Explanation:

Claims based on science are claims that can be backed up by data and evidence. In the sentence "Data from ice cores show that global temperatures are rising dramatically.", the part "Data from" inclines that there is factually proof backing up the claim. Part of the sentence "Satellite imagery shows.." inclines that there is also proof/evidence backing this claim. The other two sentences are <em>opinions</em> based on science. Instead, they should give some sort of data/evidence that would support that claim.

Does the identity of an atom change if we add or subtract electrons or neutrons? Explain.
AURORKA [14]
Adding or removing neutrons from the nucleus are how isotopes are created. Protons carry a positive electrical charge and they alone determine the charge of the nucleus. Adding or removing protons from the nucleus changes the charge of the nucleus and changes that atom's atomic number.
