An Amazon Prime delivery truck carrying COVID-19 vaccines from the Pfizer distribution center in Kalamazoo, MI to York College, NY makes a stop in Columbus, OH. The distance from Kalamazoo to Columbus is 236.7 miles and the total distance from Kalamazoo to York College is 835.4 miles. If the truck travels at 1.45 Km/min, how many hours will it take to arrive at York College after the stop in Columbus? Round your answer to the ones place.
Titanium is used in airplane bodies because it is strong and light. It has a density of 4.55 g/cm^(3). If a cylinder of titanium is 7.75 cm long and has a mass of 153.2 g, calculate the diameter of the cylinder. (V = pi*r^(2)*h, where V is the volume of the cylinder, r is its radius, and h is the height.)
