Question
What is the speed of a car going v=1.000mphv=1.000mph in SI units? Notice that you will need to change from miles to meters and from hours to seconds. You can do each conversion separately. Use the facts that 1mile=1609m1mile=1609m and 1hour=3600s1hour=3600s.

- 2.arrow_forwardA particle is released as part of an experiment. Its speed t seconds after release is given by v(t) = -0.5t² + 4t, where v(t) is in meters per second. a) How far does the particle travel during the first 3 sec? b) How far does it travel during the second 3 sec?arrow_forwardThe speed of light is about 3 x 108 meters per second. The Millennium Falcon is traveling from Earth to Mars at the speed of light. The distance between the Earth and Mars fluctuates between 5.46 x 10¹0 meters and 4,01 x 10¹¹ meters. If the day the Millennium Falcon makes the "Mars Run," the distance is 2.25 x 10¹¹ meters, how long will it take them? Note: distance = rate time, and time = distance/rate Express your answer in scientific notation. Use for the multiplication. seconds Convert your answer to minutes. Include at least 3 decimal places in your answer, which can be expressed in standard notation. minutes Suppose the Millennium Falcon flies for 5 hours at the speed of light. How far will they travel? Express your answer in scientific notation. metersarrow_forward

- I1:00:00 PM Problem 3: Suppose the speed of light were only 3000.0 m's. A jet fighter moving toward a target on the ground at 810 m/s shoots bullets, each having a muzzle velocity of 1050 m's. Randomized Variables v-810 m/s v2 1050 m's ed What is the velocity of the bullets relative to the target in km's? Grade Sommary Deductions 0% Potential 100%arrow_forwardThat's what I thought too! But the answer choices it gave were 8 m/s, 4 m/s, 2 m/s, and 6 m/s so I'm confused. I went with 8 and it was wrong.arrow_forwardA biologist studies a species of bacteria called FAST, her research reveals that FAST bacteria reproduced prodigiously. If a bacteria culture contains 10 FAST bacteria at time t= 0, the number of FAST bacteria in the culture later time 't' is N(t) = 10 +6t +2t2 where 't' is expressed in seconds. How many bacteria occupy the culture a time t = 10s? At t =11s? Calculate how many net bacteria were born during the interval between t=10 and t=11, assume no bacteria died. Now use calculus to find the birth rate of bacteria (rate at which new bacteria get born) at time t=10s, it may help to sketch a rouch graphy of N vs 't'.arrow_forward
