A 747 airliner reaches its takeoff speed of 173 mi/h in 35.2 s. what is the magnitude of its average acceleration

<span>7.21 ft/s^2

Since you're looking for average acceleration, you can simply divide the change in velocity by the time. To make the calculation more reasonable, first convert the speed of 173 mi/h into ft/sec by multiplying by 5280 to convert from mi/h to ft/h and then dividing by 3600 to convert from ft/h to ft/s. 173 * 5280 / 3600 = 253.7333 ft/s Now divide the change in velocity by the time in seconds. 253.7333 ft/s / 35.2 s = 7.208333 ft/s^2 Rounding result to 3 significant figures gives 7.21 ft/s^2</span>

Determine the ratio of the resistivity of pure water to silver?

shutvik [7]

Silver is a very good conductor, this means its resistivity is very low (from table, we can check the precise value, which is $\rho_s = 1.6 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m$ ).

Pure water, instead, is a very bad conductor, this means its resistivity is very high, of order of $k \Omega \cdot m$ ( $10^3 \Omega m$ ). Even without knowing the precise value of the pure water resistivity, we can estimate the ratio between the pure water resistivity and the silver resistivity by comparing the two orders of magnitude:
$r= \frac{10^3 \Omega m}{10^{-8} \Omega m} \sim 10^{11}$

Therefore, we can say that the correct answer is
$3 \cdot 10^{11} : 1$

What does the area between the line and the x axis represent on a velocity vs time graph

pychu [463]

the area bounded by the line and the axes of a velocity-time graph is equal to the displacement of an object during that particular time period

Thank you
