During the pyramid-building era the ancient Egyptians used two units of length, the palm and the ell. An ell was 7 palms and a p

alm was about 3 inches. If a hawk is tracked at a diving speed of 3 ells per second, what is its speed in inches per second? 1. 42 in/s 2. 5.25 in/s 3. 0.7 in/s 4. 126 in/s

Knowing that the units of the ancient Egyptians were palm and ell, where 1 ell was 7 palms and 1 palm was 3 inches, the speed of a hawk tracked as 3 ells/s is equal to 63 in/s. The given options are not the correct ones.            

We have that:

1 ell = 7 palms

1 palm = 3 inches

v: is the speed of the hawk = 3 ells/s

To find the <u>speed of the hawk</u> in inches per second, we need to convert 3 ells/s to in/s, as follows:  

v = 3 \: \frac{ells}{s}*\frac{7 \: palms}{1 \:ell}*\frac{3 in}{1 \: palm} = 63 \frac{in}{s}      

 

Therefore, the speed of the hawk is 63 inches per second. The given options are not the correct ones.

describe how acceleration and velocity are related and specify if these are scalar and vector quantities
vitfil [10]

Velocity is the rate of change in distance over change in time, this can be written as:

v = Δd / Δt

While acceleration is the rate of change in velocity over change in time, this is written as:

a = Δv / Δt

 

<span>Both quantities are vector quantities because negative values means that the acceleration or velocity is acting on the opposite direction.</span>

Please solve this question ​
klemol [59]

Answer:

Given: Initial Velocity:0

Velocity: 25 m/s

Time :10 sec.

Acclereation?.

Use formula for acceleration,

a =  \frac{v}{t}

a =  \frac{25}{10}

a = 2.5

Divide units to

\frac{ \frac{m}{s} }{s}  =  \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }

So our acceleration is

2.5 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }

If you want to, you can use kinematic equation

v_{i} + at = v

vi is inital velocity, since v1=0 we just have

at = v

a =  \frac{v}{t}

Which is the same as first step, so we would get 2.5 m/s^2

A Block slides down an incline that makes an angle of 30? with the horizontal direction. The coefficient of kinetic friction bet
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Acceleration = 2.35 m/s^{2}

Speed = 8.67 m/s

Explanation:

The coefficient of friction , u =0.3

The angle of incline = 30°

The two forces acting on block are weight and friction.

weight along the incline = mg cos60° = \frac{mg}{2} = 0.5 mg

Friction along incline = umg cos30° = mg 0.3\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Friction along incline  = 0.26 mg

Net force acting on the weight = (0.5 - 0.26) mg = 0.24 mg

Acceleration = \frac{net force}{mass} = 0.24 g = 2.35 m/s^{2}

The height of incline = 8 m

Length of the inclined edge = 16 m

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

v^{2}= 2\times 0.24 \times 9.8\times 16

v= 8.67 m/s
