In downtown Chicago, the east-west blocks are 400 ft long while the north-south blocks are 280 ft long. Because of the many one-

way streets, it can be challenging to get around. Veronica starts at the corner of Dearborn and Ohio Streets. She drives four blocks north to Superior, two blocks east to Wabash, then a block south to get to her destination at Wabash and Huron.
Required:

Answer:

The answer is "1160 ft".

Explanation:

Using the Pythagoras theorem:

\to a= 280 \times 3= 840\\\\\to b= 400 \times 2= 800\\\\

\bold{\to y^2= a^2+b^2}\\\\

         =840^2 +800^2\\\\= 705600+640000\\\\=1345600\\\\=1160 \ ft\\

  \to y=1160 \ ft

A speed truck locks it’s brakes and it skids to a stop. If the truck’s total mass were doubled, it’s skidding distance would be?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The skidding distance would be doubled

Explanation:

When the truck applies the brakes and slows down, its motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, so its skidding distance can be found by using the suvat equation

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v = 0 is the final velocity (zero since the truck comes to a stop)

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the skidding distance

The acceleration can also be written as

a=\frac{F}{m}

where F is the force applied by the brakes and m the mass of the truck. Substituting into the previous equation,

-u^2 = 2\frac{F}{m}s\\s = -\frac{mu^2}{2F}

We see that the skidding distance is proportional to the mass: therefore, if the mass of the truck is doubled, the skidding distance will double as well.

Suppose that a particular artillery piece has a range R = 9880 yards . Find its range in miles. Use the facts that 1mile=5280ft
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

If you do it in steps

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd = 29640 ft

R = 29640 ft / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

Comparing ultraviolet photons to radio photons, we can say that the ultraviolet photons have ______ energy, ______ frequency, an
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Energy of ultra violet photons < Energy of radio waves

Wavelength of ultra violet photons > Wavelength of radio waves

Explanation:

The increasing order of the wavelength is given by

Gamma rays

x rays

Ultra violet rays

Visible radiations

Infrared rays

micro waves

Radio waves

So, ultra violet rays has larger wavelength than radio waves.

As we know that the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength.

So, the energy of radio waves is more than the energy of ultra violet waves.

Energy of ultra violet photons < Energy of radio waves

Wavelength of ultra violet photons > Wavelength of radio waves

A student lifts a box of books 2 meters with a force of 45 N. He then carries the box 10 meters to the living room. What is the
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

90J

Explanation:

The only time work is being done is when he lifts the box off the ground. Therefore, using the work formula, 2 x 45, you get 90J. Hope this helps someone.
