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

1 answer:

5 0

<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>

Consider a household that uses 14,000 kWh of electricity and 900 gal of fuel oil, per year, during a heating season. The average

ryzh [129]

Answer:

9517.2 lbm

Explanation:

Electricity consumption = 14000 kWh/year

Fuel consumption = 900 gal/year

Amount of CO₂ produced per gallon = 26.4 lbm/gal

Amount of CO₂ produced per kWh = 1.54 lbm/kWh

Amount of CO₂ produced in one year

$14000\times 1.54+900\times 26.4=45320\ lbm$

Reduction would be

$0.21\times 45320=9517.2\ lbm$

The reduction in the amount of CO₂ produced is 9517.2 lbm

A zero-order reaction has a constant rate of 2.30×10−4 M/s. If after 80.0 seconds the concentration has dropped to 1.50×10−2 M,

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Initial concentration of the reactant = 3.34 × 10^(-2)M

Explanation:

Rate of reaction = 2.30×10−4 M/s,

Time of reaction = 80s

Final concentration = 1.50×10−2 M

Initial concentration = Rate of reaction × Time of reaction + Final concentration

= 2.30×10−4 M/s × 80s + 1.50×10−2 M = 3.34 × 10^(-2)M

Initial concentration = 3.34 × 10^(-2)M

What leads astronomers to believe that some large moons associated with the giant planets have compositions that are roughly hal

Sonja [21]

<span>Astronomers are able to determine facts about the composition of these moons by examining the nature of light that is reflected from their surfacy using a method called spectroscopy. This process works because different materials tend to reflect light at different wavelengths So, by observing at which wavelengths a planetary body reflects light, astronomers are able to estimate its composition.</span>
