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.

Answer:

Cells are extremely small.

Explanation:

As Mendel describes in this story, cells are so small they cannot normally be seen with the naked eye. ... The total organism remains the same throughout this process, and (usually) has a longer time on earth than any one of its cells.

What will be the pressure of 2.00 mol of an ideal gas at a temperature of 20.5 degrees Celsius and a volume of 62.3L?
erastova [34]

.774atm

First, look at what you have and look at the equations you can use to solve this problem. The best equation would be PV=nRT.

P being pressure, V being volume, n being moles, R being the gas constant, and T being temperature.

Before you start doing any of the math, make sure of two things. Since you're looking for pressure, you'll need a gas constant. When I did the problem, I used the gas constant of atm or atmospheres which is .0821.

Also! Remember to always convert celsius into kelvin, to do this, add 273 to the given celsius degree. After this is all set and done, your equation should look like this:

P = \frac{2 x .0821 x 293.5}{62.3}

The reason that the equation is divided by the volume is due to the fact that you need to isolate the variable or pressure.

Multiply everything on the top and divide by the bottom and you should receive the final answer of .774atm.

Hope this helps!

extremely hot.When a student went to open the car doo , he burned his finger. What two forms of energy were responsible for the
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

radiation and conduction

Explanation:

During a warm summer day, a car became extremely hot. When a student went to open the car door, he burned his fingers. What two forms of energy were responsible for the student burning his fingers?

Solution:

Heat is the transfer of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object. For heat transfer to occur, there have to be a difference in temperature between two objects.  

Heat can be transferred in three ways: by conduction, by convection, and by radiation.

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy between bodies through direct contact. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through the movement of heat in a liquid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through thermal emission by electromagnetic waves.

During a warm summer day, The sun makes the car to become hot through energy transfer from the sun to the car. When the student touch the car, there is heat transfer as a result of conduction.
