A cheetah can maintain its maximum speed of 100 km/hr for 30.0 seconds. What minimum distance must a gazelle running 80.0 km/hr

be ahead of the cheetah to escape?

Explanation:

Suppose the cheetah is initially positioned at x=0 (m) from the reference, and the gazelle is intially at poisiton x=d (m).

Then, at the worst case, that is when cheetah is running at the maximum case, the position of the gazelle relative to the reference must be larger than that of cheetah.

In equation form,

0\text{ km}+\frac{100\text{ km}}{1 \text{ hr}}\cdot30\text{ s }\cdot\frac{1\text{ hr}}{3600\text{ s}}\le d \text{ km}+\frac{80\text{ km}}{1 \text{ hr}}\cdot30\text{ s }\cdot\frac{1\text{ hr}}{3600\text{ s}}

(100-80)\cdot \frac{30}{3600}\le d

d\ge \frac16\text{ km}=166.66 \text{m}

If two parallel conductors are both free to move and are carrying current in the same direction, what would happen if the curren
pishuonlain [190]

The wires would remain attracted to each other.

Option D.

Explanation:

It is known that magnetic flux will be generated in conductors with varying emf. So when current is flowing in two parallel conductors, the magnetic flux will be generated in those wires. If the current is flowing in same direction in both the wires, then the magnetic flux will be generated towards inside and outside the wires. Thus, the wire will get attracted to each other till the time the current is flowing in the same direction in both the wires. So if the current flow in each wire was reversed at the same time, then the wire would remain attracted to each other.

Why must the difference between the water level in the eudiometer tube and the water level in the beaker be measured
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The difference between the water level in the eudiometer tube and the water level in the beaker must be measured because we have to put into consideration, the pressure of the gases in the eudiometer tube. This said pressure of gas in the eudiometer must equal the atmospheric pressure. If or by chance, the water levels happens not to be at the same height, then this is not the case. And then, as a result, in order to account for the difference between both, while also being able to get accurate results, you have to find the difference or subtract the water levels and then go ahead in converting them to mmHg.

Group 7A of the periodic table contains the?
olga2289 [7]

The correct answer is A. Most reactive non metals.

Firstly if some one knows how to read the periodic table he would have no confusion in deciding whether group 7 has metals or non metals. Group 7 contains non metals so basically we can easily cancel out two options of metals.

Secondly group 7 non metals are the most reactive non metals as they need only one electron in order to complete their valence shell and become stable.
