Answer:

83.67 m/s

Explanation:

Set up a calculation to convert units of measure to what you need.

You have km/s and you need m/s.

4.08km     1000 m         83.67m

-----------  X ----------  =  ---------------   the km will cancel out and you are left

 12.0 s          1 km              s              with m/s

A racquetball strikes a wall with a speed of 30 m/s and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 26 m/s. The collision
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the ball during the collision with the wall is a=2,800m/s^{2}

Explanation:

<u>Known Data</u>

We will asume initial speed has a negative direction, v_{i}=-30m/s, final speed has a positive direction, v_{f}=26m/s, \Delta t=20ms=0.020s and mass m_{b}.

<u>Initial momentum</u>

p_{i}=mv_{i}=(-30m/s)(m_{b})=-30m_{b}\ m/s

<u>final momentum</u>

p_{f}=mv_{f}=(26m/s)(m_{b})=26m_{b}\ m/s

<u>Impulse</u>

I=\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=26m_{b}\ m/s-(-30m_{b}\ m/s)=56m_{b}\ m/s

<u>Average Force</u>

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{56m_{b}\ m/s}{0.020s} =2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}

<u>Average acceleration</u>

F=ma, so a=\frac{F}{m_{b}}.

Therefore, a=\frac{2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}}{m_{b}} =2800m/s^{2}

Nuclear waste disposal is one of the largest issues with nuclear power. Cesium-137 is one of the high level waste products in an
vodomira [7]

Answer:

A sample of 5.2 mg  decays to .65 mg or to 1/8 of its original amount.

1/8 = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 or 3 half-lives.

3 * 30.07 = 90 yrs for 5.2 mg to decay to .65 mg

You can get these other numbers similarly:

5.2 / .0102 = 510  requires about 9  half-lives which is 30 * 9 = 270 yrs

Two photographers are competing for business in town. Andrea uses only film photography and Keira uses only digital photography.
____ [38]

There is no right or wrong answer, your teacher wants you to support your own answer with points. As long as the reasons make logical sense you are fine.

I think they both have valid points. Their replies are both true, but from a buyer's perspective who would you purchase services from? You would get different answers depending on who you ask.

If you choose to go old school, obviously you get an actual photo that can be stored physically. This means it is a memory that can be preserved, and it might feel more nostalgic being able to touch the photo.

On the other hand, a digitally stored photo can be altered (photoshop), but it is forever as long as the internet still exists. A physical photo would fade with time, which doesn't happen with a digital photo.

It is definitely easier to argue that digital photography has more advantages (they do, it is why nobody uses film anymore)

Points you can consider:

Can be transferred to the other side of the world instantly

Ability to make copies and print as many photos as you want

Can be stored on cloud/devices and be like that forever

Compare them with film photography to give a more solid response.
