You measure a distance of 185 feet. How many meters is this?

EastWind [94]4 years ago

-- Take the 185 feet.

-- Multiply it by (12 inches / 1 feet)

-- Multiply it by (2.54 cm / 1 inch)

-- Multiply it by (1 meter / 100 cm)

Doesn't all this multiplying change the value of the 185 feet ?

NO, it doesn't.  Each of those fractions has the exact same thing on top and on the bottom.  So each of those fractions is equal to ' 1 '.  It doesn't change the value of the 185 feet ... it only changes the UNITS.

Length = (185 feet) x (12 inches/1 feet) x (2.54 cm/1 inch) x (1 meter/100 cm)

Length = (185 x 12 x 2.54) / (1 x 1 x 100) (feet-inch-cm-meter / feet-inch-cm)

Length = <em>56.388 meters</em>

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

A pressure that causes the Hg column to rise 1 millimeter is called a torr. The term 1 mmHg used can replaced by the torr.

1 atm = 760 torr = 14.7 psi.

A.

120 mmHg

Psi:

760 mmHg = 14.7 psi

120 mmHg = 14.7/760 * 120

= 2.32 psi

Pa:

1mmHg = 133.322 Pa

120 mmHg = 120 * 133.322

= 15998.4 Pa

B.

80 mmHg

Psi:

760 mmHg = 14.7 psi

80 mmHg = 14.7/760 * 80

= 1.55 psi

Pa:

1mmHg = 133.322 Pa

80 mmHg = 80 * 133.322

= 10665.6 Pa

A body oscillates with 25hz what is its time period
Semmy [17]

Answer:

4 seconds

Explanation:

The frequency of a body is the number of oscillations in one second. It is the number of cycles per unit time. The S.I unit of frequency is the Hertz (Hz).

The period of a body is the time taken to complete one oscillation. The period is inversely proportional to the frequency of the body. It is the reciprocal of frequency and the S.I unit is second (s).

A body oscillates with 25hz. Therefore the frequency (f) = 25 Hz.

The period (T) is given as:

Period (T)=\frac{1}{frequency(f)} \\T=\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{0.25}=4\\T=4\ seconds

Can someone please help me with this? I'm so confused
bagirrra123 [75]

At theheight where it starts, just before it's dropped, the ball has
some potential energy.  The higher that spot is, the more potential
energy the ball has.  After the drop, whenever the ball is lower than
the height from which it was dropped, it has less potential energy, and
the missing potential energy shows up as kinetic energy ... motion.

This is the whole idea of the roller coaster.  A machine drags it up to
the top of the first hill, giving it lots of potential energy.  After that, as
long as it doesn't try to rise higher than the first hill, it never runs out
of energy, and keeps going.

A). and B).
The ball keeps going forward until it rises again to the same height it
was dropped from ... on the other side.  Then it stops and falls back.

C). The ball can never rise higher than the height it was dropped from.
If the hump in the middle is the same height as the drop-height, then
the ball stops right there, and falls back.

D).  Same as B).  As long as the track inside the loop is never higher
than the droop-height, the ball just keeps going forward.

E). Same idea.  Here it looks like the drop-height is the same as the
top of the loop. The ball can't rise higher than it was dropped from,
so it gets as far as the top of the loop and stops there.  From there,
I think it drops straight down from the top of the loop, instead of
following the curve.

True or false: objects fall toward earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s because of centripetal force.
Citrus2011 [14]
Sadly, no. The statement kind of has some appropriate words in it, but it's badly corrupted. Objects don't fall to Earth at a rate of 9.8 m/s, and the force that accelerates them downward is not a centripetal one.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:1.53g

Explanation:

average deceleration= ?

inial velocity: u=0

final velocity: v=30m/s

time: t=2seconds

The first law of kinematics :

v=u+at

find a the subject of the formula

a=v-u/ t

a=\frac{0-30} 2

a=-30/2

a=-15m/s^{2}

The deceleration about g(acceleration due to gravity) will be:

15/9.8
