ily is up north at your Traverse City cottage (240 miles from your home) and you plan on waking up early Saturday morning to drive home and set up for the party. You wake up at 10:00 am to head out but to your surprise your parents decide on leaving at 11:00 am instead of 1:00 pm like they originally planned. Your father ALWAYS drives 60 miles per hour on the expressway and it will take you about 2 hours to set up for the party. How fast must you drive in order to get home in enough time to make the surprise a success? Show your work.

Answer:

120 miles per hour.

Explanation:

We need to find the time it takes my parents to drive home from the cottage. Since my father drives at 60 miles per hour, and the cottage is 240 miles from our home, and distance = speed × time. So, time = distance/speed = 240 mi/60 mi/h = 4 h.

So, it will take my father 4 hours to drive home from the cottage.

Since I have 2 hours to prepare for the party, the time left for me to drive to the cottage is 4 - 2 hrs = 2 hrs.

So, I'm supposed to drive to the cottage in at most 2 hours.

The speed at which I must drive in this time period is thus,  speed = distance/time = 240 miles/2 hours = 120 miles per hour.

So, I must drive at a minimum speed of 120 miles per hour.

How much horsepower is produced by 2023 z’s 3. 0-liter twin-turbo 6-cylinder engine?.
garri49 [273]

400 horsepower is produced by 2023 z's 3. 0-liter twin-turbo 6-cylinder engine.

<h3>What is horsepower?</h3>

The power an engine produced is referred to as horsepower. In the British Imperial System, one horsepower equals 33,000 foot-pounds of work per minute, i.e., the force required to lift a mass of 33,000 pounds off the ground in a single motion for one minute.

The new Z's 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine produces 400 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. This is 68 horsepower and 80 lb-ft more than the previous 370Z. The 6-speed manual transmission that comes standard or the optional 9-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters are both paired with this one engine option.

The law of conservation of linear momentum says that when objects collide, the total initial momentum equals the total final momentum.
The momentum of a body is given by the product of mass and velocity of the object.

Q4. What is the speed of light in a block of glass that<br> has an Index of refraction of 1.11?
mrs_skeptik [129]
Refractive index(n)= speed of light in vacuum/ speed of light in medium.
Since refractive index is 1.11, and usually we know that the speed of light is 300,000km/s, simply divide 300,000km/s over 1.11. That is, 270,270.2703 when simply rounding, its 270,270 km/s.
