Answer:

5694000 min

Explanation:

Let's suppose the average American watches 4 hours of TV every day. First, we will calculate how many minutes they watch per day. We will use the conversion factor 1 h = 60 min.

(4 h/day) × (60 min/1 h) = 240 min/day

They watch 240 minutes of TV per day. Now, let's calculate how many minutes they watch per year. We will use the conversion factor 1 year = 365 day.

240 min/day × (365 day/year) = 87600 min/year

They watch 87600 min/year. Finally, let's calculate how many minutes they spend watching TV in 65 years.

87600 min/year × 65 year = 5694000 min

A student must design an experiment to determine the gravitational mass of an object. Which of the following experiments could t
Elena L [17]

Answer: a. Place the object on one side of a lever at a known distance away from the fulcrum. Place known masses on the other side of the fulcrum so that they are also paced on the lever at known distance from the fulcrum. Move the known masses to a known distance such that the lever is in static equilibrium.

d. Place the object on the end of a vertically hanging spring with a known spring constant. Allow the spring to stretch to a new equilibrium position and measure the distance the spring is stretched from its original equilibrium position.

Explanation:

The options are:

a. Place the object on one side of a lever at a known distance away from the fulcrum. Place known masses on the other side of the fulcrum so that they are also paced on the lever at known distance from the fulcrum. Move the known masses to a known distance such that the lever is in static equilibrium.

b. Place the object on a surface of negligible friction and pull the object horizontally across the surface with a spring scale at a non constant speed such that a motion detector can measure how the objects speed as a function of time changes.

c. Place the object on a surface that provides friction between the object and the surface. Use a surface such that the coefficient of friction between the object and the surface is known. Pull the object horizontally across the surface with a spring scale at a nonconstant speed such that a motion detector can measure how the objects speed as a function of time changes.

d. Place the object on the end of a vertically hanging spring with a known spring constant. Allow the spring to stretch to a new equilibrium position and measure the distance the spring is stretched from its original equilibrium position.

Gravitational mass simply has to do with how the body responds to the force of gravity. From the options given, the correct options are A and D.

For option A, by balancing the torque, the mass can be calculated. Since the known mass and the distance has been given here, the unknown mass can be calculated.

For option D, here the gravitational force can be balanced by the spring force and hence the mass can be calculated.

a car is moving down the street at 55km/h. a child suddenly runs into the street. If it takes the driver 0.75 seconds to react a
Lelechka [254]
11.46 meters

55 km/h = ? m/s
55 km/h × 1000 (meters per km) = 55,000 m/h
55,000 m/h ÷ 3,600 (seconds in an hour) = 15.28 m/s
15.28 m/s × 0.75 s = 11.46 m
