Answer:

6m/s

Explanation:

The mosquito will have a speed of 6 m/s.

if the speed of the mosquito and breeze was in opposite direction, we will subtracted them from each other and the result will be the speed of mosquito moving in the direction of the higher speed (between the breeze and mosquito). while if they are both moving in the same direction the speed of the mosquito will be the sum of both the speed of the mosquito and breeze thus the mosquito and breeze are moving in the same direction so we just sum it up (3m/s + 3m/s = 6m/s).

Describe three physical changes that occur in nature?

Alex Ar [27]

Answer: Physical changes in nature could then be erosion in a mountain, the melting of snow, and a river freezing over from the cold. Since none of these changes affect the chemical composition of the mountain, the snow, or the river, they are physical changes.

A car is on a circular off ramp of an interstate and is traveling at exactly 25 mph around the curve. Does the car have velocity

netineya [11]

Answer:

The car has velocity and acceleration but is not decelerating

Explanation:

Since the car is traveling at 25 mph around the curve, it has a tangential velocity. This tangential velocity is constantly changing in direction (so the car could adapt to the curve and not moving forward in a straight line), there should be a centripetal acceleration in play here. This acceleration does not slow down the car so it's not decelerating.

A hazard sign has 3 identical

melomori [17]

Answer and Explanation: To know how much tape he will need, we have to calculate the perimeter of each parallelogram-shaped stripe.

Perimeter is the sum of all the sides of a figure.

For a parallelogram:

P = 2*length + 2*width

So, we need to determine width and length of the stripe.

Width is 3 inches. Length is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, whose sides are 6 and 18 inches. Then, length is

$h=\sqrt{18^{2}+6^{2}}$

$h=\sqrt{360}$

h = 19 in

Perimeter of the first stripe is

P = (2*19) + (2*3)

P = 44 inches

The hazard sign has 3 stripes. So total perimeter is

$P_{t}=$ 44 + 44 + 44

$P_{t}=$ 132 inches

To outline the parallelogram-shaped stripes, Charles need a total of 132 inches of tape. Since one roll has 144 inches, he will have enough tape to finish the job.
