His speed is (500/60) m/s = 8-1/3 m/s .

His velocity can't be completely specified using the information in the question.
Its magnitude is 8-1/3 m/s. But in order to also state the direction of his velocity,
we would also need to know the direction of his velocity.

When was the wrecking ball invented?

It was most popular during the 1950s-60s.


A car travels 60 km in 45 minutes A second car travels 3 times the distance in four times the time What is the speed of the second car in meters per second?

60 km * 3 = 180 km 45 min * 4 = 180 min 180km/180hr = 1 km/min 1km = 1000m 1 min = 60s 1000m/60s = 16.67 m/s


A certain car is capable of accelerating at a rate of plus 60 m per s2 How long does it take for this car to go from a speed of 55mi per hr to a speed of 60 mi per hr?

To begin, it would be unethical to use this service to answer an exam question. If you're working a problem set it'd be okay. As I understand the problem, a car traveling 55 mi/hr accelerates at a rate of 60 meters/second^2 to a speed of 60 mi/hr. How long did it take to reach the final speed? I don't remember the formula for this, but I figured it out by looking at the units. acceleration is in distance/time^2 time is in time change in velocity is in distance/time Only the change in velocity matters in this problem. So, 60mi/hr - 55mi/hr = 5 mi/hr The time would be the same if the car started at zero and accelerated to 5 mi/hr. Using these three values, the only way to equal a time unit is: mi/hr x hr^2/mi = time in hr or m/s x s^2/m = time in s This makes an equation of: (change in velocity)/acceleration = time or more commonly written: time x acceleration = velocity The next step is to put all three values in the same units. change in velocity = (5mi/hr)(5280ft/1mi)(12in/1ft)(2.54cm/1in)(1m/100cm) = 2.2352m/s acceleration = 60 m/s^2 This will yield time in seconds. So, plug and chug: (2.2352m/s)/(60m/s^2) = time in seconds = 0.037253333s = 3.7 x 10^-2 s <-- significant figures ------ This seemed fast to me, so I tried converting it the other way too: acceleration = (60m/s^2)(100cm/1m)(1in/2.54cm)(1ft/12in)(1mi/5280ft)(60s/1min)^(2) (60min/1hr)^(2) = 483178.24mi/hr^2 = really really fast! Therefore: (5mi/hr)/(483178.24mi/hr^2) = time in hours = 1.034815 x 10^-5 hr = 1.0 x 10^-5 <-- significant figures This is the same as 3.7 x 10^-2 seconds -- Keeping the units straight is the key. To make sure you've got it, change the numbers and rework the problem.


What is the horsepower of a 1500.0 kg car that can go to the top of a 360.0 m high hill in exactly 1.00 minute?

118 hp 1500kg * 360 m * 2.2lbs * 3.28 ft / 60 s / 550 ft*lbs/s (thats the conversion factor between horsepower and power) or 1500kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 360 m / 60s / 745.7 watts/hp


What is the different between a nuclear bomb and an atom bomb?

Nuclear bombs before the 60s were referred to as atom bombs, because the term Nuclear hadn't been discover yet. Nuclear bombs today, are generally Hydrogen bombs, or fusion bombs. They are significantly more powerful, able to places about the size of Rhode Island. Atom bombs,which were mostly uranium and plutonium, lack the destructive power of Nuclear or Fusion bombs.
