On the planet Zebulon, the standard unit for length is the clorf (cl) and the standard unit for time is the beedle (be). After many years of research, you have determined that 1clort = 0.765 meters 1beedle = 1.957 seconds (1cl = 0.765m) (1be = 1.957s) If you are driving at a speed of 85mi / h , how fast are you going in terms of clorés per beedle (cl/be)? NOTE: 1 mi = 1609 m.
(a) A unit of time sometimes used in microscopic physics is the shake. One shake equals 108 s. Are there more shakes in a second than there are seconds in a year? (b) Humans have existed for about 106 years, whereas the universe is about 1010 years old. If the age of the universe is defined as 1 “universe day,” where a universe day consists of “universe seconds” as a normal day consists of normal seconds, how many universe seconds have humans existed?
A passenger train leaves a railway station at 12:00 pm and travels 3 hours on the Northbound tracks. A second passenger train leaves the same railway station at 12:45 pm and travels 2 hours and 15 minutes onthe Southbound tracks at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour faster than the first train. At 3:00 pm the two trains were 360 kilometers apart. How fast was each train traveling?
How do I setup this equation?
