Answer:

Emissions per second = 0.36

Explanation:

Please find the attached question

Solution

Given  

Let X be the rate of background emission.

X = B/t  

Where B = 36

And t = 100

X = 36/100 = 0.36

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

1. B has no acceleration because the straight line shows that it's a constant speed not speeding up or down.

2. A because you can see the decline in speed as time goes on

In major league baseball, the pitcher's mound is 60 feet from the batter. If a pitcher throws a 85 mph fastball, how much time e
Nostrana [21]
The given from your problem are the following:
V = 85mph (This is miles per hour)
d = 60 feet

If you notice the units do not match. Before we can do anything else, we need to make the figures match. 

In this case, we will convert 85miles per hour to feet per hour.  There are 5,280 feet in 1 mile. 
\frac{85miles }{hr} x \frac{5,280feet}{1miles} = \frac{448,800feet}{hr}

But wait! If you think about the scenario, you are looking for how long it will take for the ball to reach the bat. The most applicable unit of time to use here is second. It would be very hard to really measure a short and instantaneous event in hours. So we convert it into feet per second: 

There are 3,600 seconds in 1 hour.

\frac{448,800feet }{hour} x \frac{1hour}{3,600seconds} = \frac{448,800feet}{3,600 seconds} = 124.67ft/s

So now we have our new given as:

v = 124.67ft/s
d = 60 ft

The formula for time can be derived from the formula from velocity, which is:
velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

The formula of time will then be:
time= \frac{distance}{velocity}

All you need to do is plug in what you know and solve for what you don't know. 

time= \frac{60feet}{124.67ft/s}

time= 0.48s

The answer then is 0.48s.

If you want this in hours, just divide the value in seconds by 3,600. The answer would then be 0.00013hr. (See how small it is? This is why seconds would be a more appropriate measure.)

Two waiters are trying to get through a single door of a kitchen. One pushes on one side of a door 0.567 m from the hinge with a
NISA [10]

Answer:

275.5 N

Explanation:

F_{1} = Force on one side of the door by first waiter = 257 N

F_{2} = Force on other side of the door by second waiter

r_{1} = distance of first force by first waiter from hinge = 0.567 m

r_{2} = distance of second force by second waiter from hinge = 0.529 m

Since the door does not move. hence the door is in equilibrium

Using equilibrium of torque by force applied by each waiter

r_{1} F_{1} = r_{2} F_{2} \\(0.567) (257) = (0.529) F_{2}\\F_{2} = 275.5 N

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

  • Distance, such that displacement over time is taken into account doesn't change regardless of the length in x meters or mass in kg
  • So the force will remain constant given 16 units
