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.

A 0.89 m aqueous solution of an ionic compound with the formula mx has a freezing point of -3.0 ∘c . van't hoff factor?
BigorU [14]

Answer is: V<span>an't Hoff factor (i) for this solution is 1,81.
Change in freezing point from pure solvent to solution: ΔT =i · Kf · b.
Kf - molal freezing-point depression constant for water is 1,86°C/m.
b -  molality, moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.
</span><span>b = 0,89 m.
ΔT = 3°C = 3 K.
i = </span>3°C ÷ (1,86 °C/m · 0,89 m).

i = 1,81.

Forces on a Baseball. When a baseballis thrown or hit, the resulting motion of the ball is determined by Newton's laws of motion. ... Lift and drag are actually two components of a single aerodynamic force acting on the ball. Drag acts in a direction opposite to the motion, and lift acts perpendicular to the motion.
