Answer:

Explanation:

The transcontinental railroad was worked on from both sides of America. At the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. The purpose was to make travel easier from one side of the country to the other, and to get American items to the east and west of America for export to other countries, as well as a few other reasons such as building up the interior of America.

How is force related to math

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion describes the relationship between force and acceleration. They are directly proportional. If you increase the force applied to an object, the acceleration of that object increases by the same factor. In short, force equals mass times acceleration.

Newton’s 3rd law of motion states that “every action has an equal and opposite reaction.” A golf ball was hit with a force of 20

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Example of Newton's III law

In the, golf the ball was hit by a club with certain force. As the club hits the ball it's the action. When the ball flies away its the reaction.
When a person swings a golf club at the ball, when it hits the ball, it causes the ball to roll up the face of the club and into the air towards the target.

An airplane starts from rest at the end of a runway and accelerates at a constant rate. In the first second, the airplane travel

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

$v=4.44\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Given that the airplane starts from the rest (this is initial velocity equals to zero) and accelerates at a constant rate, position can be described like this: $x=v_{0}t +\frac{1}{2} at^{2}$ where x is the position, t is the time a is the acceleration and $v_{0}$ is initial velocity. In this way acceleration can be found. $a=\frac{2(x-v_{0}t) }{t^{2} } =\frac{2(1.11m-0)}{1s^{2} } =2.22\frac{m}{s^{2} }$ .

Now we are able to found velocity at any time with the formula: $v=v_{0} +at = 0\frac{m}{s} +(2.22\frac{m}{s^{2}}.2s)=4.44\frac{m}{s}$

A hydrogen atom has a diameter of about 10 nm. Express this diameter in meters. Express this diameter in millimeters. Express th

Fynjy0 [20]

So, the first question is: how many meters are 10 nm?

1nm =0.000000001 m.

So 10 nanometers are 0.00000001 m!

Now, how many milimeter are those?
let's start with meters, 1 meter are 1000 milimeters.
so 
0.00000001*1000=0.00001 m!

now, micrometers .1 micrometer are 1000 nanometers.
so 10 nanometers are 0.01 micrometers! (1 nanometer is 0.001 micrometers)

A car travelling at 5.0 m/s starts to speed up. After 3.0 s its velocity has increased to 11 m/s. a) What is its acceleration? (

lions [1.4K]

initially, the car is traveling at 5.0 m/s.

so, we know acceleration for changing velocity is :

a = (v-v $_{o}$ )/t ..........(i)

where v is the final velocity

v $_{o}$ is the initial velocity

t is the time taken to change velocity

Now, as per the question :

initial velocity, v $_{o}$ =5.0 m/s

final velocity, v =11 m/s

time taken, t = 3 s

putting the values in equation (i),

a = ( 11-5 )/3

a = 2 m/s²

Therefore, a, after 3 s, is 2 m/s².
