(250,000 miles) x (5,280 feet/mile) = 1,320,000,000 feet

( 1.32 x 10⁹ )

The conversion between miles and feet is:

$1 mi = 5280 ft$

So we can set up a proportion to find how many feet corresponds to 250000 miles:

$1 mi: 5280 ft = 250000 mi :x$

and solving it, we find

$x=\frac{5280 ft \cdot 250000 mi}{1 mi} =1.32 \cdot 10^9 ft$

Three kids are riding on a snow sled traveling horizontally without friction at 19.8 m/s. The masses of Kid A, B, and C are 42.8

Kamila [148]

Answer:

34.6 m/s

Explanation:

From conservation of momentum, the sum of initial and final momentum are equal. Momentum is a product of mass and velocity. Initial mass will be 42.8+31.5+25.9=100.2 kg

Final mass will be 31.5+25.9=57.4 kg

From formula of momentum

M1v1=m2v2

Making v2 the subject of the formula then

$V2=\frac {M1v1}{m2}$

Substitute 100.2 kg for M1, 19.8 m/s fkr v1 and 57.4 kg for m2 then

$V2=\frac {100.2 kg\times 19.8 m/s}{57.4 kg}=34.56376 m/s\approx 34.6 m/s$

a positively charged body makes contact with a body. after a while, the charged body becomes neutralised. state 3 main condition

MrRa [10]

Answer:

A body will become positively charged when some electrons will come out from the body.Thus, positive charge is due to deficiency of electrons.

You are working at a company that manufactures electri- cal wire. Gold is the most ductile of all metals: it can be stretched in

Alona [7]

Explanation:

We know that the relation between volume and density is as follows.

Volume = $\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}}$

So, V = $\frac{10^{-3}}{19.3 \times 10^{3} kg/m^{3}}$

= $5.181 \times 10^{-8} m^{3}$

Now, we will calculate the area as follows.

Area = $\frac{\text{volume}}{\text{length}}$

= $\frac{5.181 \times 10^{-8} m^{3}}{2.4 \times 10^{3}}$

= $2.15 \times 10^{-11} m^{2}$

Formula to calculate the resistance is as follows.

R = $\rho \frac{l}{A}$

= $\frac{2.44 \times 10^{-8} \times 2400}{}2.15 \times 10^{-11}}$

= $2.71 \times 10^{6} ohm$

Thus, we can conclude that the resistance of given wire is $2.71 \times 10^{6} ohm$ .

An green hoop with mass mh = 2.8 kg and radius rh = 0.17 m hangs from a string that goes over a blue solid disk pulley with mass

vladimir2022 [97]

The mass of the hoop is the only force which is computed by:F net = 2.8kg*9.81m/s^2 = 27.468 N
the slow masses that must be quicker are the pulley, ring, and the rolling sphere.
The mass correspondent of M the pulley is computed by torque τ = F*R = I*α = I*a/R F = M*a = I*a/R^2 --> M = I/R^2 = 21/2*m*R^2/R^2 = 1/2*m
The mass equal of the rolling sphere is computed by: the sphere revolves around the contact point with the table. So using the proposition of parallel axes, the moment of inertia of the sphere is I = 2/5*mR^2 for spin about the midpoint of mass + mR^2 for the distance of the axis of rotation from the center of mass of the sphere. I = 7/5*mR^2 M = 7/5*m
the acceleration is then a = F/m = 27.468/(2.8 + 1/2*2 + 7/5*4) = 27.468/9.4 = 2.922 m/s^2
