Answer:
86.4 hrs
Explanation:
The amount of bacteria is initially 1
It doubles every 24 hrs.
After first 24 hrs, the amount = 2
After next 24 hrs = 4
After next 24 hrs = 8
After next 24 hrs = 16
After next 24 hrs = 32
After next 24 hrs = 64
After next 24 hrs = 128
After next 24 hrs = 256
Total time taken to reach 256 = 24 x 8 = 192 hrs
For the bacteria culture on the rocket that travels at a speed of 0.893c relative to the earth, this time is contracted by the relationship
t = t'(1 - ¥^2)^0.5
Where t is the contracted time =?
t' is the time on earth
¥ = v/c
Where v is the speed of the rocket
c is the speed of light
since v = 0.893c
¥ = 0.893
Substituting, we have
t = 192 x (1 - 0.893^2)^0.5
t = 192 x 0.2025^0.5
t = 192 x 0.45 = 86.4 hrs
Answer:
At time 10.28 s after A is fired bullet B passes A.
Passing of B occurs at 4108.31 height.
Explanation:
Let h be the height at which this occurs and t be the time after second bullet fires.
Distance traveled by first bullet can be calculated using equation of motion
Here s = h,u = 450m/s a = -g and t = t+3
Substituting
Distance traveled by second bullet
Here s = h,u = 600m/s a = -g and t = t
Substituting
Solving both equations
So at time 10.28 s after A is fired bullet B passes A.
Height at t = 7.28 s
Passing of B occurs at 4108.31 height.
Answer:
5694000 min
Explanation:
Let's suppose the average American watches 4 hours of TV every day. First, we will calculate how many minutes they watch per day. We will use the conversion factor 1 h = 60 min.
(4 h/day) × (60 min/1 h) = 240 min/day
They watch 240 minutes of TV per day. Now, let's calculate how many minutes they watch per year. We will use the conversion factor 1 year = 365 day.
240 min/day × (365 day/year) = 87600 min/year
They watch 87600 min/year. Finally, let's calculate how many minutes they spend watching TV in 65 years.
87600 min/year × 65 year = 5694000 min
Choice-a is a very rubbery, imprecise, ambiguous, slippery statement. But it's probably less wrong than any of the other choices on the list.
