• The speed of light is 3 108 m/s (aka 300,000,000 meters per second). What is the speed of light in centimeters per second, kilameters per secand, and miles per hour? (Hint: there are roughiy 1.6 km per mile and 3600 seconds per hour) Remember to show the math; Google can be used to check your answer, but it is worth no credt without the work shown. If you are having a hard time explaining your math on the computer, you are also welcome to do the work by hand and include a picture of the results.

In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably mole comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical Intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0m/s=3.6km/h and 1.0m/s=2.2mi/h .
Can you explain this answer and provide another method if possible. Thanks
Can you help me, i need a shortcut on how to know when should i use cosine or sine.here's the problem and the solution One morning, Connie walks from her house to go to a store that is 500 ft, S 40o W from her house. She starts walking 120 ft, SW; then continues walking 100 ft, 10o S of E; then sees a friend who is 700 ft, 30o N of E from where she is. What is her friend’s location, (magnitude and direction) relative to her house? (Ans. 667.54 ft, 21.79o N of E) From her friend’s location, how far and in what direction should Connie walk to finally get to the store? (Ans. 1133.08 ft, 33.83o S of W)
Can you solve it plz and can you explain that well.
ok i understand much better now but where did the 0.258 come from (multiplied to 17)
Hi, please helpt me solve the question 2.1. If the question is not complete, kindly let me know so I can try to provide more details if possible. Thank you so much.
Hi there! Struggling a bit with solving this. I would think the answer could be solved like so: 5.00 X 9.8 = 49 49 X 40.00 = 1960 but 1960 is incorrect, what am I missing here? Thanks!
A furlong is 220 yd. A fortnight is 2 weeks. Convert a speed of one furlong per fortnight to millimeters per second.
Help plz Two ships are sailing in the fog and are being monitored at ten-second intervals by R.J. Sampson. As they enter his rada screen at 6:00 AM, the Minnow is 1000 meters above the lower left corner of the screen (which will be referred to as the Origin). The Lollipop is 8000 meters directly to the right of the origin After ten seconds, the Minnow is 40 meters east and 10 meters north of its original position After ten seconds, the Lollipop is 30 meters west and 20 meters north of its original position You may assume that the two ships maintain their courses and speed throughout the problem. Do the ships collide?
ALSO...the solution is not 453.6238. Someone previously here gave me this answer and it is incorrect.
Assume your hair grows at a rate of 1/44th of an inch per day. How fast is that in nm/s (nanometers per second)? Given that a typical atom is on the order of 1 x 10^(-10) m in diameter (see Table 1.3 on page 18 of the textbook), at approximately what rate does the protein synthesis that assembles your hair strands deposit atoms in units of atoms per second? I need the second question to be rounded to 1 significant digit.
How many significant figures are there in (a) 0.0000303 and(b) 6.201 * 105?
