Answer:

2.5 × 10⁴ mi/h = 1.1 × 10⁴ m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

We have the following equivalencies:

1 mile = 1609 m

1 hour = 3600 s

Then to convert miles to meters, we can multiply the given quantity in miles by ( 1609 m/ 1 mile) and we will obtain the same quantity in meters. In the same way, if we want to convert hours into seconds, we can multiply the given quantity in hours by (3600 s/ 1 hour) and we will obtain seconds.

Let´s convert miles per hour into m/s:

2.5*10^{4} \frac{mi}{h}  (\frac{1609m}{1mi})(\frac{1h}{3600s}) = 1.1 × 10⁴ m/s  (notice how the units mi and h cancel)

Example of first, second and third law of motion.​
statuscvo [17]

Examples of Newton's three law of motion.

First law of motion: A rocket being launched up in the atmosphere.

Second law of motion:while riding a bicycle, a bicycle acts as a mass and our legs pushing on the pedals of the bicycle is the force.

Third law of motion:when we jump off from the boat,the boat moves backward.

Hope,it will helpyouu!

When heather grabbed the glass of ice water, the ice cubes were floating at the top. why were the ice cubes floating in the wate
tiny-mole [99]
The ice cubes were floating in water because they are less dense than liquid water. When water is frozen, a structure that is crystalline is formed that is held by hydrogen bonding. Due to the orientation of these bonds, the moleules would push far away from each other causing it to have a bigger volume and a lower density.

An airplane pilot flies due west at a speed of 216 km/hr with respect to the air. After flying for a half an hour, the pilot fin
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

speed wind  Vw = 54.04 km / h   θ = 87.9º

Explanation:

We have a speed vector composition exercise

In the half hour the airplane has traveled X = 108 km to the west, but is located at coordinated 119 km west and 27 km south

Let's add the vectors in each coordinate axis

   

X axis (East-West)

      -Xvion - Xw = -119

      Xw = -Xavion + 119

      Xw = 119 -108

      Xwi = 1 km

Calculate the speed for time of  t = 0.5 h

     Vwx = Xw / t

     Vwx= 1 /0.5

     Vwx = - 2 km / h

Y Axis (North-South)

    Y plane - Yi = -27

    Y plane = 0

    Yw = 27 km

    Vwy = 27 /0.5

    Vwy = 54 km / h

Let's use the Pythagorean theorem and trigonometry to compose the answer

 Vw = √ (Vwx² + Vwy²)

  Vw = R 2² + 54²

  Vw = 54.04 km / h

  tan θ = Vwy / Vwx

  tan θ = 54/2 = 27

  θ = Tan⁻¹ 1 27

  θ = 87.9º

The speed direction is 87. 9th measure In the third quadrant of the X axis in the direction 90-87.9 = 2.1º  west from the south
