First, we write the SI prefixed. The SI unit for distance is meters.

Kilo = 10³
Mega = 10⁶
Giga = 10⁹
Terra = 10¹²

Because our value has ten to the power of 11, we will use the closest and lowest power prefix, which is giga. 

1.5 x 10¹¹ /  10⁹
= 1.5 x 10² Gm or 150 Gm

Writing in kilometers, we simply repeat the procedure except we divide by 10³ this time.

1.5 x 10¹¹ / 10³
= 1.5 x 10⁸ km

Two students walk in the same direction along a straight path, at a constant speed one at 0.90 m/s and the other at 1.90 m/s. a.
creativ13 [48]

Answer: a) 456.66 s ; b) 564.3 m

Explanation: The time spend to cover any distance a constant velocity is given by:

v= distance/time so t=distance/v

The slower student time is: t=780m/0.9 m/s= 866.66 s

For the faster students t=780 m/1,9 m/s= 410.52 s

Therefore the time difference is 866.66-410.52= 456.14 s

In order to calculate the distance that faster student should  walk

to arrive 5,5 m before that slower student, we consider the follow expressions:

distance =vslower*time1

distance= vfaster*time 2

The time difference is 5.5 m that is equal to 330 s

replacing in the above expression we have

time 1= 627 s

time2 = 297 s

The distance traveled is 564,3 m

Calculate the volume of a liquid with a density of 5.45 g/ml and a mass of 65g
katrin [286]
Density=mass/volume
5.45g/ml=65g/V
V=65g/5.42g/ml
V=11.92ml

The rear wheel on a clown’s bicycle has twice the radius of the front wheel. (a) When the bicycle is moving, is the linear speed
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

a). same as

b). less than

Explanation:

a). When a bicycle is moving, the linear speed at the top of the rear wheel is same as the linear speed at the top of the front wheel. Since the clown's bicycle is a rigid body, both the wheels that is the front wheel and the rear wheel will move with the same linear speed.

b). Since we know that angular speed varies inversely to the radius of the wheel.

That is ω = 1 / r

Since the rear wheel has twice the radius of that of the front wheel, therefore real wheel will have less angular speed than the front wheel.

Therefore, the angular speed of the rear wheel is less than the angular speed of the front wheel.
