A sprinter set a high school record in track and field, running 200.0 m in 20.6 s . what is the average speed of the sprinter in
Paraphin [41]

Answer : The average speed of the sprinter is, 34.95 Km/hr

Solution :

Average velocity : It is defined as the distance traveled by the time taken.

Formula used for average velocity :

v_{av}=\frac{d}{t}

where,

v_{av} = average velocity

d = distance traveled = 200 m

t = time taken = 20.6 s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the average velocity of the sprinter.

v_{av}=\frac{200m}{20.6s}\times \frac{3600}{1000}=34.95Km/hr

conversion :

(1 Km = 1000m)

(1 hr = 3600 s)

Therefore, the average speed of the sprinter is, 34.95 Km/hr

The function of a cell depends primarily on its ?
Schach [20]
<span>Organelles which are very important in giving nutrients. During cellular respiration, the food molecules such as glucose, are oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) and trapped in ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) form for further us of cell’s activities. ATP’s are formed at mitochondria – the cell’s powerhouse. This type of organelle takes and breaks nutrients absorbed by the cell and creates energy afterward. The energy from ATP is then used by the body in kinetic activities like running & walking or involuntary activities like breathing, blood circulation, stimulus-responding, etc.</span>

a new planet is discovered that has twice the earth’s mass and twice the earth’s radius. on the surface of this new planet, a pe
Irina18 [472]

Answer: 250n

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force is: F = (gMm)/r^2

There are two factors at play here:

1) The mass of the planet 'M'

2) The radius 'r'

We can ignore the small M and the g, they are constants that do not alter the outcome of this question.

You can see that both M and r are double that of earth. So lets say earth has M=1 and r=1. Then, new planet would have M=2 and r=2. Let's sub these two sets into the equation:

Earth. F =  M/r^2 = 1/1

New planet. F = M/r^2 = 2/4 = 1/2

So you can see that the force on the new planet is half of that felt on Earth.

The question tells us that the force on earth is 500n for this person, so then on the new planet it would be half! So, 250n!
