Answer:

13.89 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the cheetah is the fastest land animal on Earth, but what if it were not allowed to run? Biologists model maximum walking speed by the equation = √, where g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2 or 32 ft/s2) and L is the length of the leg (in metric or standard units). In the situations below, use this information to answer the questions.

(Hint: It will be useful to know 1 m = 3.23 ft for conversions)

1. Find the maximum walking speed of a giraffe with legs 6.03 feet long.

Solution:

Speed is the ratio of the total distance travelled to the time taken to reach this distance. Speed is given by the formula:

Speed = distance / time

Given that the maximum walking speed (s) is given by the equation:

= √, where g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s² or 32 ft/s²) and L is the length of the leg (in metric or standard units).

The giraffe has a length of leg (L) of 6.03 feet, hence:

s = √(32 ft/s² * 6.03 ft)

s = √192.96

s = 13.89 ft/s

length = 8ft
height = 4 in
width = w ft --> u looking for this

convert in to ft for the height:

4 in (1 ft / 12 in) = 1/3 ft

You know that:
1 cubic yard = $ 98
? cubic yard = $58.07

Solve for ? cubic yard:
? cubic yard = 58.07/98 = 0.592551

convert this in cubic feet:
1 yard = 3 feet
0.59255 cubic yard (27 cubic ft/1 cubic yard) = 15.99887755 cubic ft

Now solve for the width:
length x width x height = ? cubic ft.
width = ? cubic ft / (length x height) =15.99887755 cubic ft/[(8ft)(1/3 ft )] = 5.999579082 ft

approx 6 ft

Right triangle ABC is on a coordinate plane. Segment AB is on the line y = 2 and is 3 units long. Point C is on the line x = -1.

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The possible y-coordinate of point C is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinate of a point is given by (x,y) where x is the horizontal distance from the origin on the x axis and y is the vertical distance from the origin.

Given Segment AB is on the line y = 2 and is 3 units long and Segment AB is on the line y = 2 and is 3 units long. The area of triangle ABC is 6 square units.

The area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height

6 = 1/2 × 3 × height

height = (2 × 6) / 3 = 4 units

Since point C is perpendicular to line y = 2, they coordinates is either 2 + 4 = 6 or 2 - 4 = -2

The coordinate of point C is either (-1, 6) or (-1, -2)

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ice sheets have one particularly special property. They allow us to go back in time and to sample accumulation, air temperature and air chemistry from another time[1]. Ice core records allow us to generate continuous reconstructions of past climate, going back at least 800,000 years[2].

Ice coring has been around since the 1950s. Ice cores have been drilled in ice sheets worldwide, but notably in Greenland[3] and Antarctica[4, 5]. High rates of snow accumulation provide excellent time resolution, and bubbles in the ice core preserve actual samples of the world’s ancient atmosphere[6].

Answer correctly !!! will mark Brianliest pleaseeeeeee

Verizon [17]

Answer:

20 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

First, draw the triangle and label the sides and angles. (See the picture attached)

The red lines on sides FG and HF indicate that the sides are congruent since this is an isosceles triangle. Isosceles triangles have two congruent sides and angles.

All angles add up to 180 degrees. You were already given 140 for angle F. So, use to find angle h, subtract 140 from 180 and divide by 2.

180 - 140 = 40

40 / 2 = 20

Angle h is 20 degrees
