Answer:

The associated SI unit of force and weight is the Newton, with 1 kilogram weighing 9.8 Newtons under standard conditions on the Earth's surface. However, in the US common units, the pound is the unit of force (and therefore weight). The pound is the widely used unit for commerce.

With a diameter that's 11 times larger than Earth's, _______ is the largest planet.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

With a diameter that's 11 times larger than Earth's, Jupiter is the largest planet.

Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system. No wonder ancient astronomers named it after Jupiter, King of the Roman gods. More than 1,000 planets the size of Earth could fit inside Jupiter. A tunnel through Jupiter would be 11 times longer than a tunnel through Earth. A trip around Jupiter equator would take 6 times longer than a trip around the Earth's equator.

Jan ran 4 miles north in 28 minutes. What was Jan's average velocity?

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

3.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by Jan, d = 4 miles

1 mile = 1609.34 m

4 miles = 6437.38 m

Time, t = 28 minutes = 1680 s

Jan's average speed,

v = d/t

$v=\dfrac{6437.38\ \text{m}}{1680\ \text{s}}\\\\v=3.83\ \text{m/s}$

Hence, the average velocity of Jan is 3.83 m/s.

Utility poles are to be set every 30 meters. How many poles will be set in one mile if one was set at the beginning of the mile)

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Because there are 1609.34 meters in a mile. 1609.34÷30=53.64 but because you put one at the beginning of the mile it will stay 53 and not round up to 54

Mr. Beall paddles his canoe at 8.0 m/s North in a river that flows at 6.0 m/s to the South. What is the magnitude and direction

kifflom [539]

Answer:

2 /s north

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity due North is 8 m/s and due south is 6 m/s

We need to find the magnitude and the direction of the resulting velocity.

Let North is positive and South is negative. When two velocities are in opposite direction, they adds up. So,

$v=8+(-6)\\\\v=2\ m/s$

It is positive. So, it is in North direction.
