Answer:

The time the pilots have to take evasive action is approximately 36.699 seconds

Explanation:

The direction of the planes = Towards each other

The speed of each plane, v₁, v₂ = 721 km/h

The initial distance between the two planes, d = 14.7 km

The relative velocity of the two planes, v = v₁ + v₂

v = 721 km/h + 721 km/h = 1,442 km/h

The time it will take the planes to meet, t = d/v

∴ t = 14.7 km/(1,442 km/h) = (21/2,060) h × 60 min/hr × 60 s/min ≈ 36.699 s

The time it will take the planes to meet = The time the pilots have to take evasive action, t ≈ 36.699 seconds.

Sort the characteristics of solids liquids and gases into the correct colums
boyakko [2]

Solids have molecules that move slowly and are close together and are very attracted to eachother.

Liquids have molecules that move freely and are slightly attracted to eachother.

Gases have molecules that move, but aren't attracted to eachother.

Can anybody help me solve this problem? Thank you so much!
ser-zykov [4K]
Please ignore my comment -- mass is not needed, here is how to solve it. pls do the math

at bottom box has only kinetic energy
ke = (1/2)mv^2
v = initial velocity
moving up until rest work done = Fs
F = kinetic fiction force = uN = umg x cos(a)
s = distance travel = h/sin(a)
h = height at top
a = slope angle
u = kinetic fiction
work = Fs = umgh x cot(a)
ke = work (use all ke to do work)
(1/2)mv^2 = umgh x cot(a)
u = (1/2)v^2 x tan (a) / gh

Explain the difference between SI base units and SI delivered units
castortr0y [4]

SI Units are based on meters, kilograms, seconds, amperes, kelvins, candelas, and moles, together with a set of prefixes to indicate multiplication or division by a power of ten.

There are seven SI base units, which are:

m - Meter - Length.

s - Second - Time.

mol/Mole - Amount of Substance.

A - Ampere - Electric Current.

K - Kelvin - Temperature.

cd - Candela - Luminous Intensity.

kg - Kilogram - Mass.

I think that the delivered units are how they are used such as watts which are equal to one joule per second. Others are “ergs per second (erg/s), horsepower (hp), metric horsepower (Pferdestärke (PS) or cheval vapeur (CV)), and foot-pounds per minute.”

So, SI base units are the basic units of things such as length or temperature. This would mean that the delivered units are the specific units per something like miles per hour.
