PLEASE SOLVE FAST!!! If the average American watches hours of TV every day , how many minutes will be spent in front of the TV b
masha68 [24]

Answer:

5694000 min

Explanation:

Let's suppose the average American watches 4 hours of TV every day. First, we will calculate how many minutes they watch per day. We will use the conversion factor 1 h = 60 min.

(4 h/day) × (60 min/1 h) = 240 min/day

They watch 240 minutes of TV per day. Now, let's calculate how many minutes they watch per year. We will use the conversion factor 1 year = 365 day.

240 min/day × (365 day/year) = 87600 min/year

They watch 87600 min/year. Finally, let's calculate how many minutes they spend watching TV in 65 years.

87600 min/year × 65 year = 5694000 min

Is it possible for the momentum of a system consisting of two carts on a low-friction track to be zero even if both carts are mo
choli [55]

Answer:

Yes, if the two carts are moving into opposite directions

Explanation:

The total momentum of the system of two carts is given by:

p=m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2

where

m1, m2 are the masses of the two carts

v1, v2 are the velocities of the two carts

Let's remind that v (the velocity) is a vector, so its sign depends on the direction in which the cart is moving.

We want to know if it is possible that the total momentum of the system can be zero, so it must be:

p=0\\m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 = 0\\m_1 v_1 = -m_2 v_2

From this equation, we see that this condition can only occur if v1 and v2 have opposite signs. Opposite signs mean opposite directions: therefore, the total momentum can be zero if the two carts are moving into opposite directions.

Yakvenalex [24]
Displacement = (distance between start and end points) in the direction of (direction from start to end point). Distance = (11.3-3.38)= 7.92 m. Direction = the negative 'x' direction.
