    Counting Time
AI Thread Summary
To calculate the time taken to travel 45 kilometers at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, the formula t = s/v is used, resulting in t = 0.45 hours. This value can be converted into minutes by multiplying by 60, yielding 27 minutes. The discussion clarifies that 0.45 hours equals 27 minutes, addressing the initial confusion about how to interpret the time calculation. The key takeaway is that understanding the conversion from hours to minutes is essential for clarity in time calculations. Overall, the calculation confirms that traveling 45 km at 100 km/h takes 27 minutes.

I have very disappointed myself. I am forgot how count time, if car drives example 45 km(kilometre) distance and it's speed is 100km/h ( kilometre per hour). How i know what is time?

equation is

t = s/v (t = time, s = distance and v = speed)

and now equation is

t = 45km / 100km/h
t = 0,45h?

How i know this (0,45h) what is exactly time? Can somebody count this for me?

Do you mean convert this to minutes?

You have 0.45h, there are 60 minutes to an hour, so 60 * 0.45 = 27minutes.
 
I don't understand your problem. Yes it would take .45 hr or .45hr * 60min/hr = 27min to travel 45km at 100km/h.
 

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
