Which sentence contains italicized words that are used as an infinitive phrase?

In-s [12.5K]

First, the infinitive phrase must contain the word "to", so the only options are A and D.

In D "to" is a preposition: it specifies the spacial relation: to the grocery store.

The infinitive phrase is "to go" and the answer is A.

A fox is 7 meters from the base of a tree that is 15 m tall. A nest of owls is at the top of the tree. One of the owlets tosses

mamaluj [8]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

In this analysis, wind resistance is ignored, and g = 9.8 m/s².

The meat falls with zero vertical velocity, therefore the time, t, before the meat hits the ground is
$\frac{1}{2}*(9.8 \, \frac{m}{s^{2}})*(t \, s)^{2} = (15 \, m) \\ t= \sqrt{ \frac{15}{4.9} }= 1.75 \, s$

If the fox catches the meat before it hits the ground, then the fox should travel a horizontal distance d in the same time that the meat travels a horizontal distance (7 -d).
The meat travels a distance of
7 - d = (1.2 m/s)*(1.75 s) = 2.1 m
or
d = 4.9 m

Let v = velocity of the fox when it catches the meat.
If the acceleration of the fox is a m/s², then
v = 1.75a
Also,
$d= \frac{1}{2} *(a \, \frac{m}{s^{2}} )*(1.75 \, s)^{2} = \frac{1}{2}( \frac{v}{1.75})^{2}*(1.75^{2}) \\ 4.9 = 0.875v^{2} \\ v^{2} = 5.6 \\ v = 2.366 \, m/s$

Answer: 2.37 m/s (nearest hundredth)

The Whirlpool galaxy is about 30 million light-years away. If you were in a spaceship that could travel at half of the speed of

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

51.96 years

2) 30 million of years

Explanation:

First we must know the travel time of the ship seen from the earth. The spaceship travels at half the speed of light, this means that the amount of time the spacecraft must spend to travel the same distance is double compared to the light, that is 60 years.

Now due to the speed of the ship, we must take into account relativistic effects, such as time dilation, this is given by:

$t'=\frac{t}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}$

Where t is the time measured in the ship, t' is the time measured in the earth, inertially moving with velocity v.

Rewriting for t:

$t=t'\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}\\t=60\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.5c)^2}{c^2}}\\t=60\sqrt{1-0.5^2}\\t=51.96 years$

This is the amount of time it would take you reach the Whirlpool galaxy in the spaceship.

2) a light year is a measure of distance, which indicates the kilometers that light travels in a year. Thus, the light emitted by Whirlpool galaxy takes 30 million of years reaches our planet.
