Answer:

The woman's average speed must have been 7.14miles/hour. This is the ratio of the total distance she covered/traveled to the total time it took her to cover that distance.

Explanation:

Here is the calculation,

Total distance = 26.2miles

Total time = 3hours and 40min.

40min = (40min/60min) × 1hour = 0.67hour. This is basically converting time in mins to time in hours.

Therefore total time taken = 3hours and 40mins = 3 hours + 0.67 hours = 3.67hours

Average speed = Total distance/Total time taken

Average speed = 26.2miles/3.67 hours = 7.14 miles/hour

3 hours and 40 minutes is equivalent to 3.667 hours. If a woman must have run another marathon (of 26.2 miles) within that time, then her minimum average speed in mph can be calculated by dividing the distance by time:
26.2 miles / 3.667 hours = 7.145 miles per hour

Answer the questions.
Studentka2010 [4]

a) The wind is generated because there are different values of pressure in the amtophera. That is, it is generated due to a pressure difference between two atmospheric points. Generally the movement is performed when the air travels from the highest pressure point, to the lowest pressure point. This is also a direct cause of different types of wind speeds.

b) If the cloud moves from one direction to another, it will indicate that from the starting point the pressure is higher, and the point towards which it is directed, the pressure is lower. If we place this on a Cartesian plane with reference to the cardinal points, we can know the approximate place or area where the pressures are different.

PLEASE HELP MEEE!!!
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Answer C is the correct option. water can be written as H₂O, which means that there are 2 Hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom,  therefore it will occupy more space than oxygen and push more. there is also one more possibility, if the splitting takes place in Hoffman's Voltameter then the Hydrogen will be close to the cathode as hydrogen is positive. Otherwise, option C is correct answer. Hope this Helps you!

STOP TO THINK 17.1 Two pulses on a string approach each other at speeds of 1 m/s. What is the shape of the string at t = 6 s?
Vinvika [58]

'The principle of superposition states that when two disturbance occupy the same space at the same time the resulting disturbance is the sum of two disturbances.'

Explanation:

if two pulses are moving towards each other in the same medium and are not disturb by any external force they will approach each other and the point which will be the the sum of their individual displacement or more precisely the point of superposition of both pulses either constructive or destructive depending on the conditions given

Solve 3.4 = 5.1(3.7x + 4.7) for x.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

3.4 = 18.87x + 23.97

collecting like terms

3.4 - 23.97 = 18.87x

-20.57 = 18.87x

dividing both sides by 18.87

x = -20.57/18.87

x= -1.09
