Answer:

v = 22.54 mph.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance moved, d = 200 m

Time, t = 19.8 s

We need to find the runner's average speed.

We know that,

1 mile = 1609.34 m

200 m = 0.124 miles

19.8 seconds = 0.0055 h

So,

Speed = distance/time

$v=\dfrac{0.124}{0.0055}\\\\v=22.54\ mph$

So, the runner's average speed is 22.54 mph.

Answer:

Explanation:

To detrmine the time interval at which the balls are in contact.

<u>Given information</u>

The mass of each steal ball 67.8g. The speed of ball towards each other is 4.80 m/s. The exerted force by each jaw 15.9 kN and the forece reduce the diameter by 0.130 mm.

Expression for the effective spring constant ball is shown below.

K = |F|/|x|

Here,

k is a spring constant

F is the force exerted on the ball

x is dispalcement due force

substitute 15.9 kN for F and 0.130 mm in above equation

The spring constant is 122 x 10⁶ N/m

Bats can detect small objects such as insects that are of a size on the order of a wavelength. if bats emit a chirp at a frequen

crimeas [40]

The smallest size of the insect that the bats can detect corresponds to the wavelength of the chirp they emit.

Their chirp has a frequency of
$f=69.3 kHz=69.3 \cdot 10^3 Hz$
and the speed of the chirp is equal to the speed of sound in air:
$v=330 m/s$
Therefore the wavelength of the chirp is
$\lambda= \frac{v}{f}= \frac{330 m/s}{69.3 \cdot 10^3 Hz}=4.76 \cdot 10^{-3} m$
which corresponds to a size of 4.76 mm.

Altitude refers to ________________. Group of answer choices the angular distance from the celestial equator the angular height

liraira [26]

In Science, altitude refers to: D. the angular height away from the horizon.

<h3>What is altitude?</h3>

Altitude is also referred to as an elevation and it can be defined as the vertical distance (height) above a natural satellite or the surface of a planet such as land or sea level.

This ultimately implies that, an altitude is vertical height (elevation) of an object or physical body above a particular location or planetary reference plane such as land or sea level on Earth.

In conclusion, altitude is the angular height of an object or physical body away from the horizon.
