A cheetah can run 112km/h over a 100-m distance. what is this speed in meters per second

1 answer:

7 0

First convert the 112 km/hr ratio into m/s (meters per second). To do this you multiply 112 km with 1000 m/km (since there's 1000 m in one km). You get 112000 m. Then multiply 1 hr with 60 min/hr (since there's 60 min in one hr. You get 60 min, but you want seconds, so multiply 60 min with 60 s/min to get 3600 s. There you go! Your answer is the speed of 112000m/3600s, but you can simplify that to 31.11m/s (since the answer should be in ? meters per 1 second.

Also, the "100-m-distance" part of the question is just to throw you off, because one particular speed obviously stays constant over any distance. Hope that helps :)

The frequency of an x-ray wave is 3.0 x 1012MHz. Its wave speed is 3.0x 108m/s. Calculate the wavelength of the x-ray wave below

jasenka [17]

Answer: The wavelength of the x-ray wave is $10^{-10}m$

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use the equation:

$\lambda=\frac{c}{\nu}$

where,

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the light = ?

c = speed of x-ray= $3.0\times 10^8m/s$

$\nu$ = frequency of x-ray = $3.0\times 10^{12}MHz=3.0\times 10^{18}Hz= 3.0\times 10^{18}s^{-1}$ $(1Hz=1s^{-1})$

Putting in the values:

$\lambda=\frac{3.0\times 10^8m/s}{3.0\times 10^{18}s^{-1}}=10^{-10}m$

Thus the wavelength of the x-ray wave is $10^{-10}m$

mezya [45]

One can tell by looking at the titration curve of an acid and base whether the acid used is a strong acid or a weak acid. For a titration of a strong acid and a strong base, the pH at the equivalence point will be neutral, that is, pH 7. If the titration involves a weak acid and a strong base, the pH at the equivalence point will not be neutral, the solution will be basic at the equivalence point.
