Question: Starting with the definition 1 in. = 2.54 cm, find the number of (a) kilometers in 1.00 mile and (b) feet in 1.00 km.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)1 mile is equivalent to 1.609 km.

(b)1 feet is equivalent to 0.3048 km.

Step by step solution

01

Different units of distance

Here, Inch, Kilometer, mile and feet all are the units which belong to distance, but the standard unit of distance ismeter.

Here is some conversion between the units.

1鈥塳尘=1000鈥尘1鈥尘ile=1.609鈥塳尘1鈥塳尘=3280.84鈥塮别别迟

02

Conversion of mile into kilometer

1 mile is defined as measurement of 1.609 km.

A mile is a unit of measurement that equals 5,280 feet or 1.609344 kilometres.

It's a frequent way to compare distances between locations in the United States and the United Kingdom.

03

Conversion of kilometer into feet

As per the conversion 1 km is also called as 3280.84 feet. 1 Feet can be defined as the 0.3048 meters according to SI unit.

Hence it can be said that 1 mile is defined as measurement of 1.609 km. The conversion 1 km is also called as 3280.84 feet.

According to the label on a bottle of salad dressing, the volume of the contents is 0.473 liter (L). Using only the conversions 1 L = 1000 cm3 and 1 in. = 2.54 cm, express this volume in cubic inches.

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?

The 鈥渄irection of time鈥� is said to proceed from past to future. Does this mean that time is a vector quantity? Explain.
