Calculate the average velocity of a motor cycle that travels 72km/hr in 20 seconds

Velocity =displacement
Change in time
D=72km/hr
Time=20s
But the S.I unit of velocity is m/s so you woul have to change 72km/hr to m/s

Changing 72km to m

1 kilometer=1000meters
Then, 72 kilometers =?

72•1000/1
=72000m

Changing 72hours to seconds

If 1 hour = 3600 seconds
Then 72 hours=?

72•3600/1

=259200 seconds

Velocity =displacement
Change in time

V= 72,000
259,2005
=0.028m/s

a stone attached to 1m long string is moving with the speed of 5ms in a circle find the centripetal acceleration of the stone

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the stone is 5 m/s²

Explanation:

The length of the string to which the stone is attached, r = 1 m

The speed with which the string is rotated, v = 5 m/s

The centripetal acceleration, $a_c$ , is given as follows;

$a_c = \dfrac{v^2}{r}$

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the stone found as follows;

$a_c = \dfrac{(5 \ m/s)^2}{1 \ m} = 5 \ m/s^2$

The centripetal acceleration of the stone, $a_c$ = 5 m/s².

After a plant or animal dies the 14C content decreases with a half-life of 5730 years. If an archaeologist finds an ancient fire

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

age of the site is 15411.75 years old

Explanation:

Given data

plant or animal dies = 14C

time period = 5730 year

carbon = 15.5%

to find out

age (in years) of the ancient site

solution

we know that Final value = Initial value × $0.5^{n}$

here n is half life passed

so for 15.5%

15.5% = 100% of $0.5^{n}$

0.155 = 1 × $0.5^{n}$

now take log both side

log 0.155 = log $0.5^{n}$

n = log 0.155 / log 0.5

n = 2.68966

we know here 5730 years in half life

so for 2.68966 half-lives = 2.68966 × 5730 = 15411.7518

age of the site is 15411.75 years old

Which temperature is the hottest? 98 F or 39 C or 303K?<br> F= 1.8C + 32<br> C= (F-32)/1.8

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The hottest temperature is $T_2 = 39^o C$

Explanation:

From the question we are given

$T_1 = 98 F$

$T_2 = 39^oC$

$T_3 = 303 \ K$

Generally converting $T_3$ to Fahrenheit

$T_3' = (T_3 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_3' = (303 -273 ) * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_3' = 86 F$

Converting $T_2$ to Fahrenheit

$T_2' = T_2 * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_2' = 39 * \frac{9}{5} + 32$

=> $T_2' =102.2 F$

Now comparing the temperature in Fahrenheit we see that $T_2$ is the hottest
