Time =      (distance) / (speed)

Time = (150 x 10⁹ m) / (3 x 10⁸ m/s) =

   50 x 10¹ sec =

       <em>500 sec</em> = 8 min 20 sec

Suppose that a particular artillery piece has a range R = 9880 yards . Find its range in miles. Use the facts that 1mile=5280ft

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

If you do it in steps

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd = 29640 ft

R = 29640 ft / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

A 0.4-kg toy train car moving forward at 3 m/s collides with and sticks to a 0.8–kg toy car that is traveling in the opposite di

Gemiola [76]

Hey there!

Seems like you're looking for the size and direction to the final velocity of the two cars. To find it, you must solve it like this.

0.4 kg(3 m/s) + 0.8kg(–2 m/s) = 1.2 kg m/s -1.6 kg m/s = –0.4 kg m/s

–0.4 kg m/s = 1.2 kg(v) = (–0.4 kg m/s)/(1.2 kg) = v = –0.33 m/s

So, the cars are traveling at -0.33 m/s in the direction of the second car.

Hope this helps

Which of the following is equal to Velocity change per second

Mademuasel [1]

Acceleration

Explanation:

Acceleration is a physical quantity that expresses the change in the velocity of a body per unit of time.

Acceleration = $\frac{V - U }{T}$

V is the initial velocity

U is the final velocity

T is the time

It is has a unit of m/s²

It takes a car traveling at 18 m/s, 240 seconds to reach Chick-Fil-A from the school. Determine how far Chick-Fil-A is from the

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The requested distance is 4320 meters

Explanation:

We can use the formula for velocity in this movement at constant velocity (v), which is defined as the quotient between the distance covered divided the time it took:

$v=\frac{distance}{time}$

Since we know the velocity and the time, we can solve for the distance:

$\neq v=\frac{distance}{time} \\18\,\frac{m}{s} = \frac{distance}{240\,\,s} \\distance=18\,*\,240\,\,m\\distance= 4320\,\,m$
