A cheetah ran 300 feet in 2.92 seconds. What was the cheetah’s average speed in miles per hour?

1 answer:

6 0

We will first convert feet to miles:
1 foot = 0.00018939 miles
300 foot = 0.056817 miles
Than seconds to hours:
2.92 seconds = 0.04867 minutes = 0.0008111 hours
Average speed :
v = d / t
v = 0.056817 miles / 0.008111 h
v = 70.05 miles per hour

Find the cost of excavating a space 84 ft long, 42 ft wide, and 9 ft deep at a cost of $39/yd3. (simplify your answer completely

m_a_m_a [10]

The cost of excavating a space of 84 ft long, 42 ft wide, and 9 ft deep is $45864

Information about the problem:

Space long= 84 ft
Space wide= 42 ft
Space deep= 9 ft
Cost by yard3 = $39/yd3
Total cost= ?

To solve this problem, we have to state the equation using the information of the problem:

Calculating the volume of the total space:

space volume = space long * space wide * space deep

space volume = 84 ft * 42 ft * 9 ft

space volume = 31752 ft3

By converting the volume from ft3 to yd3, we have:

31752 ft3 * (0,037037 yd3 / 1 ft3) = 1176 yd3

Calculating the cost of excavating the volume space:

Total cost = space volume * cost by yard3

Total cost = 1176 yd3 * $39/yd3

Total cost = $45864

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

It is the space occupied by a body, it is calculated by multiplying its dimensions, for example: length, height and width.

aluminum has a density of 2.7 g/cm3. if a chuck of aluminum with a mass of 16 g is placed in a graduated cylinder partially fill

sweet-ann [11.9K]

When placing the piece of aluminium in water, the level of water will rise by an amount equal to the volume of the piece of aluminum.
Therefore, we need to find the volume of that piece.

Density can be calculated using the following rule:
Density = mass / volume
Therefore:
volume = mass / density
we are given that:
the density = 2.7 g / cm^3
the mass = 16 grams
Substitute in the equation to get the volume of the piece of aluminum as follows:
volume = 16 / 2.7 = 5.9259 cm^3

Since the water level will rise to an amount equal to the volume of aluminum, therefore, the water level will rise by 5.9259 cm^3

A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 8.4 m/s hits a 5.7 m -wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continu

malfutka [58]

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=-2.48\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Initial speed of the skater, u = 8.4 m/s

Final speed of the skater, v = 6.5 m/s

It hits a 5.7 m wide patch of rough ice, s = 5.7 m

We need to find the acceleration on the rough ice. The third equation of motion gives the relationship between the speed and the distance covered. Mathematically, it is given by :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}$

$a=\dfrac{(6.5)^2-(8.4)^2}{2\times 5.7}$

$a=-2.48\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration on the rough ice $-2.48\ m/s^2$ and negative sign shows deceleration.

Anarel [89]

Since the elevator is moving with a constant speed and not accelerating, the tension in the string is simply the normal, routine, everyday boring weight of the object.
