For (a), (b), (d), and (e), your options are: 66 inches, 72 inches, -1, +1.
41. On a map with a scale of 1:50,000, the distance between point A and B is 18 centimeters. What is the actual ground distance in meters?
b. The width of a normal sheet of paper is 8.5 inches. Convert this length to kilometers. (4 points)
Complete the calculations below using this data. Show all of your work and clearly label each of your calculations.
2. A science teacher tells her class that their final project requires the students to measure a specific variable and determine the velocity of a car with no more than 2.50% error. Jennifer and Johnny work hard and decide the velocity of the car is 34.87 m/s. The teacher informs them that the actual velocity is 34.15 m/s. Will Jennifer and Johnny pass their final project?
If a car is going 60 miles per hour, how far will it go in feet in 1 minute?
Provide detailed descriptions and show all calculations used to arrive at solutions for the following questions:
29. It takes a pigeon X, 2 hours to fly straight home averaging 20 km/h. It takes pigeon Y, 2 hours and 20 minutes to fly straight home averaging 30 km/h. If both pigeons start from the same spot but fly at an angle to each other, about how far apart do they live?
Acceleration and Speed are obviously the two defining characteristics of a fast car. Newton’s three laws of motion are an essential part in determining how fast a
You and your friend decided to take your brand-new red sports car out for a spin. Your car is capable of speeds up to 220 mph. You drove 45 miles in 1.25 hours. At the end of your trip, your friend tells you that your average speed during the trip is 36 miles per hour. You were appalled. You asked yourself, 'How can a sports car have such a pitiful average speed?' and tried to recall how much you paid for it. What is average speed
“A satellite orbiting the earth in a circular path stays at a constant altitude of 100 kilometers throughout its orbit. Given that the radius of the earth is 6370 kilometers, find the approximate distance that the satellite travels in completing 70% of one complete orbit.”
C: Take Order – Cart – Deliver – Bill → 4 + 10 + 12 + 2 = 28 mins
The speed of light is about 3.00 × 108 m/s. Convert this figure to miles per hour.
