The average speed is the distance per time ratio (a scalar quantity) Speed is ignorant of direction. Velocity is a vector quantity. It is aware of direction.

A powerful missile reaches a speed of 5 kilometers per second in 10 seconds after its launch. What is the average acceleration o
AveGali [126]

Average acceleration  =  (change in speed)  /  (time for the change)

The missile's change in speed is  (5,000 - 0)  =  5,000 m/s

Average acceleration  =  (5,000 m/s)  /  (10 sec)

                                 =      500 m/s²       (about  51 Gs)

Inconveniently, this isn't one of the choices on the list. Is there something wrong, either with the choices or with my solution ?

No. Relax. Everything is OK.

500 meters is the same thing as 0.5 kilometer.  So my answer can also be written as  0.5 km/s² .  That doesn't change anything, and it IS one of the listed choices.

The average acceleration is <em>0.5 km/sec²  (d)</em> .

A fence 8 ft high​ (w) runs parallel to a tall building and is 24 ft​ (d) from it. Find the length​ (L) of the shortest ladder t
AveGali [126]

Answer:

25.3 ft

Explanation:

The illustration of the problem is shown the attached image.

The length of the ladder can be calculated using the Pythagoras theorem:

Hypotenuse^2 = opposite^2 + adjacent^2

The hypotenuse is the length of the ladder.

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{opposite^2 + adjacent^2}

L^2 = BC^2 + (24 + AE)^2........1

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle AEF, hence:

\frac{BC}{8} = \frac{AE + 24}{AE}

BC = \frac{8(AE + 24)}{AE}.................2

Substitute 2 into 1

L^2 = (\frac{8(AE + 24)}{AE})^2 + (24 + AE)^2

Let AE = x

L^2 = (\frac{8x + 192}{x})^2 + (24 + x)^2

    = (8 + \frac{192}{x})^2 + (24 + x)^2

Minimize L with respect to x.

2\frac{dL}{dx} = 2(8 + \frac{192}{x})(-\frac{192}{x^2}) + 2(24 + x)

       =

B. How can you tell where sugar enters the blood?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Sugar can’t enter cells directly

Explanation:

So when blood sugar level rises, cells in the pancreas signal for the release of insulin into the bloodstream. The insulin attaches to the sugars and signals cells to let it enter with the attached sugar. Insulin is known as the key that unlocks cells.
