It is now 9:11 a.m. but when the bell rings at 9:12 a.m. Susie will be late for Mrs. Garner's U.S. History class for the 3rd tim

e this week. She must get from one side of the school to the other by hurrying down three different hallways. She runs down the first hallway (D-Hall), a distance of 47.0 meters. The second hallway (C-Hall) is filled with students, and she covers its 63.0 m length quickly. The final hallway (B- Hall) is empty, and Susie sprints its 76.0 m length. How fast does Susie need to go to make it to class on time (Hint: Calculate the total distance. Then calculate her total average speed rounded to the nearest tenths in meters/seconds.)?

Answer:

3.1 m/s

Explanation:

The total distance she has to run is the addition of the three lengths:

47 + 63 + 76 = 186 meters.

She needs to cover it one minute (60 seconds). Therefore her speed must be:

186 m / 60 s = 3.1 m/s

Using what you know about air pressure and the water cycle, explain how hurricanes form. Why are there certain places on Earth m

Yuki888 [10]

Hurricanes form when hot air and cold air start colliding above water and they start to form a tornado but there is water in the tornado. Certain places on earth are more susceptible to hurricanes because they are closer to the coastlines. For example, in Iowa, and Illinois, they have a lower chance of a hurricane, while Florida, and Washington have a higher rate because they are along the ocean. Hope this helps.

A trick shot archer shoots an arrow with a velocity of 30.0 m/s at an angle of 20.0 degrees with respect to the horizontal. An a

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

$u'=10.259\ m.s^{-1}$ is the initial velocity of tossing the apple.

the apple should be tossed after $\Delta t=0.0173\ s$

Explanation:

Given:

velocity of arrow in projectile, $v=30\ m.s^{-1}$

angle of projectile from the horizontal, $\theta=20^{\circ}$

distance of the point of tossing up of an apple, $d=30\ m$

<u>Now the horizontal component of velocity:</u>

$v_x=v\ cos\ \theta$

$v_x=30\times cos\ 20^{\circ}$

$v_x=28.191\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>The vertical component of the velocity:</u>

$v_y=v.sin\ \theta$

$v_y=30\times sin\ 20^{\circ}$

$v_y=10.261\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>Time taken by the projectile to travel the distance of 30 m:</u>

$t=\frac{d}{v_x}$

$t=\frac{30}{28.191}$

$t=1.0642\ s$

<u>Vertical position of the projectile at this time:</u>

$h=v_y.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^2$

$h=10.261\times 1.0642-\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8\times 1.0642^2$

$h=5.3701\ m$

<u>Now this height should be the maximum height of the tossed apple where its velocity becomes zero.</u>

$v'^2=u'^2-2g.h$

$0^2=u'^2-2\times 9.8\times 5.3701$

$u'=10.259\ m.s^{-1}$ is the initial velocity of tossing the apple.

<u>Time taken to reach this height:</u>

$v'=u'-g.t'$

$0=10.259-9.8\times t'$

$t'=1.0469\ s$

<u>We observe that </u> $t>t'$ <u> hence the time after the launch of the projectile after which the apple should be tossed is:</u>

$\Delta t=t-t'$

$\Delta t=1.0642-1.0469$

$\Delta t=0.0173\ s$

Why do magnetic bodies lose their magnetic force?

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Well a s the temperature increases, at a certain point called the Curie temperature, a magnet will lose its strength completely. So once the metal cools, its ability to attract magnets returns, though its permanent magnetism becomes weak. In general heat is the factor that has the most effect on permanent magnets.Explanation:
