1 hour is 3600 seconds. In 2 hours, it would be 7200 seconds.  Divide the amount of miles by seconds. 100/7200=.01388..

We don't know anything about the direction Jack was traveling, so we can't determine his velocity.  The best we can do is work with his speed.

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Speed = (100 miles) / (2 hours)

Speed = 50 miles/hour

The question has specified a different unit, so we'll need to convert the unit of our answer.  

Let's multiply the answer by (1 hour / 3600 seconds).  The numerator and denominator of this fraction are both the same quantity, so the value of the fraction is ' 1 ', and multiplying the answer by it won't change the answer in any way except the unit.

Speed = (50 mi / hr) x (1 hr / 3600 sec)

Speed = (50mi · 1hr)  /  (hr · 3600sec)

Speed = 50 mi / 3600 sec

<em>Speed = 0.01389 mi/sec</em>

IrinaK [193]

The frog's launch speed and the time spends in the air are 22.5m/s and 2.73s respectively.

To find the answer, we need to know about the time of flight and range of projectile motion.

<h3>What's the expression of range of a projectile motion?</h3>
  • Range = U²× sin(2θ)/g
  • U= initial velocity, θ= angle of projectile and g= acceleration due to gravity
  • U=√{Range×g/sin(2θ)}
  • Here, range= 2.20m, = 36.5°
  • U= √{2.20×9.8/sin(73)}

U= √{2.20×9.8/sin(73)} = 22.5m/s

<h3>What's the expression of time of flight in projectile motion?</h3>
  • Time of flight= (2×U×sinθ)/g
  • So, T= (2×22.5×sin36.5°)/9.8

= 2.73 s

Thus, we can conclude that the frog's launch speed and the time spends in the air are 22.5m/s and 2.73s respectively.

One difference between a hypothesis and a theory is that a hypothesis
artcher [175]
A hypothesis is a tentative statement which is made to try to explain a known phenomenon but whose truth value is still uncertain, whether it is true or no depends on further research. On the other hand, a theory is made up of hypothesis which have been proven to be true so far, a theory should be able to explain future phenomena successfully

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum can be seen by humans
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Visible light

Explanation:

Electromagnetic spectrum is the classification of the electromagnetic waves according to their frequency/wavelength. In order from the shortest to the longest wavelength, we have

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves

All these waves are invisible to human eye, except for the part referred as 'visible light'. The electromagnetic waves of this part of the spectrum are visible to human eye, and they appear as a different color depending on their wavelength. In particular, we have:

Violet: 380-450 nm

Blue: 450-495 nm

Green: 495-570 nm

Yellow: 570-590 nm

Orange: 590-620 nm

Red: 620-750 nm

Bryce, a mouse lover, keeps his four pet mice in a roomy cage, where they spend much of their spare time (when they are not slee
user100 [1]

Answer:

I₁ = (7.78 i ^ - 6.71 j ^) 10⁻³ J s ,  I₂ = (-12.5 i ^ -14.6 j ^) 10⁻³ J s ,  I₃ = (19.1i ^ + 18.6 j ^) 10⁻³ J s  and I₄ = (-9.14i ^ + 7.24 j ^) 10⁻³ J s

Explanation:

The impulse is equal to the variation of the moment, to apply this relationship to our case, we will assume that initially the mouse was at rest

    I = Δp = m v_{f} -m v₀

    I = m (v_{f}  -v₀)

Bold indicates vector quantities, let's calculate the momentum of each mouse in for the x and y axes

We recommend bringing all units to the SI system

Mouse 1.

It has a mass of 22.3 g = 22.3 10⁻³ kg, a final velocity of (v = 0.349 i ^ - 0.301 j ^) m / s with an initial velocity of zero

    Iₓ = m (v_{fx}  - v₀ₓ)

    Iₓ = 22.3 10⁻³ (0.349 -0)

    Iₓ = 7.78 10⁻³ J s

   I_{y} = m (v_{fy}  -v_{oy} )

   I_{y} = 22.3 10⁻³ (-0.301)

   I_{y} = -6.71 10⁻³ J s

   I₁ = (7.78 i ^ - 6.71 j ^) 10⁻³ J s

Mouse 2

Mass 17.9 g = 17.9 10⁻³ kg

Speed ​​(-0.699 i ^ - 0.815 j ^) m / s

    Iₓ = m (v_{fx}  - v₀ₓ)

    Iₓ = 17.9 10⁻³ (-0.699 -0)

    Iₓ = -12.5 10⁻³ J s

    I_{y} = 17.9 10⁻³ (-0.815 - 0)

    I_{y} = -14.6 10⁻³ J s

   I₂ = (-12.5 i ^ -14.6 j ^) 10⁻³ J s

Mouse 3

Mass 19.1 g = 19.1 10⁻³ kg

Speed ​​(0.745i ^ + 0.975 j ^) m / s

    Iₓ = 19.1 10⁻³ (0.745 -0)

    Iₓ = 14.2 10⁻³ J s

    I_{y} = 19.1 10⁻³(0.975 -0)

    I_{y} = 18.6 10⁻³ J s

    I₃ = (19.1i ^ + 18.6 j ^) 10⁻³ J s

Mouse 4

Mass 10.1 g = 10.1 10⁻³ kg

Speed ​​(-0.905i ^ + 0.717j ^) m / s

    Iₓ = 10.1 10⁻³ (-0.905 -0)

    Iₓ = -9.14 10⁻³ J s

    I_{y} = 10.1 10⁻³ (0.717 -0)

    I_{y} = 7.24 10⁻³ J s

   I₄ = (-9.14i ^ + 7.24 j ^) 10⁻³ J s
