Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. ... Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the metre per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour........?

Speed is the rate at which someone or something is able to move or operate. Moreover, the SI unit of speed is the metre per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour.

A boat travels at 30 mph for a huge, solid cliff that is about 3,000 meters away. When the horn on the boat makes a toot, you ca

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:The frequency of the echo is slightly decreased

Explanation:

Given

speed of boat $=30\ mph$

cliff is $3000\ m$ away

when boat is still , suppose t is the time taken by the echo to reach observer on the boat

But as soon as boat starts moving the distance between cliff and boat decreasing and time for echo to reach observer also decreases

and we know $time \propto \frac{1}{frequency}$

therefore frequency of the echo slightly decreased.

If an electric wire is allowed to produce a magnetic field no larger than that of the Earth (0.503 X 104 T) at a distance of 15

dem82 [27]

Answer:

37.725 A

Explanation:

B = magnitude of the magnetic field produced by the electric wire = 0.503 x 10⁻⁴ T

r = distance from the wire where the magnetic field is noted = 15 cm = 0.15 m

i = magnitude of current flowing through the wire = ?

Magnetic field by a long wire is given as

$B = \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi }\frac{2i}{r}$

Inserting the values

$0.503\times 10^{-4} = (10^{-7})\frac{2i}{0.15}$

i = 37.725 A

When you hold a small amount of sodium chloride in a flame, you observe that the flame is bright yellow. What can you do to be s

Anon25 [30]

To be sure that the color is due to sodium, do a flame test. This is used to identify the presence of small number of metal ions in a compound. For sodium, the brilliant color of bright yellow is a result of an excited electron in a very high level of energy and fall to a lower level called the ground state.

In addition, metals have different jump sizes in the energy level and this means that each different metal will have a different pattern of spectral lines, which results to different flame color.

Natasha2012 [34]

Explanation:

answer 689910

M x G x H

mass = 77

G= 9.8

Meter = 915 this is the height

77 x 9.8= 754.6

754.6 X 915 = 689910 J
