Math homework help!!?

March 30th, 2011 5 comments

I need help with the multiple answer question below:

In Death Valley, California, the highest ground temperature recorded was 94°C on July 15,1972. In the formula

C = 5/9(F – 32), C represents the temperature in degrees Celsius and F represents the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. To the nearest degree, what is the highest ground temperature in Death Valley in Fahrenheit?

F. 201°F G. 84°F H. 34°F J. 137°F

You are being asked for this:

C = 5/9(F – 32), then F=(9/5)C+32, if you have 94°C as your objective Fahrenheit temperature then you have to do the following

F=(9/5)94+32: 1.8(94)+32: 169.2+32=201.2°F
Hope this helps

What do you think of MY picks for the next few WrestleManias?

WrestleMania XXVII is confirmed for Atlanta, but later on down the road, I am considering the following locations for upcoming WrestleManias:

WrestleMania XXVIII (28)- April 2, 2012; BC Place in Vancouver, Canada (the same city that hosted the 2010 Winter Games last Feb.) Seating capacity: 64,000-69,000.
WrestleMania 2X9 (29)- March 25, 2013; The Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Seating capacity: 72,000.
WrestleMania 30- March 31, 2014; New Meadowlands Stadium in New York. Seating Capacity: about 68,500.
WrestleMania XXXI (31)- April 6, 2015; Tiger Stadium in Death Valley, California. Seating Capacity: 85,000.
WrestleMania XXXII (32)- March 29, 2016; Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Seating Capacity: 66,600.
WrestleMania 33- April 4, 2017; The Big House in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Seating Capacity: 107,000. (the previous record of 93,000+ for WMIII, set in ’87, will be broken. This will also be the first WrestleMania with a seating capacity of at least 100,000.)
WrestleMania 34- April 3, 2018; The Staples Center in Los Angeles. Seating Capacity: 25,000.
WrestleMania XXXV (35)- April 2, 2019; Wembley Stadium in London, England. Seating Capacity: 99,000. (This also marks the First WrestleMania to take place outside of North America.)
WrestleMania 2020 (36)- April 1, 2020; Univ. Of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. (a decade in the making) Seating Capacity: 75,000.

I’m not a Nostradamus, but I’m not no Edgar Cayce, neither; however, this is merely a prediction. Tell me what you think and give me some feedback, if necessary. Try not to mistake this question for a planetarium this time, okay?

Number 30 would be at the MSG that’s where numbers 1,10,20 were held so i think thats where 30 would be held but apart from that everything else sounds fine

What are the world record highs and lows for each month?

March 14th, 2010 1 comment

Before anyone tells me "Google it", I already did, using multiple search queries and came up with nothing. I do know some record temperatures for some months by virtue of their fame and easy accessibility, such as July’s record high being 134 set in Death Valley, California, United States, and September’s being 136 set in El Aziziya, Libya (also the world’s record high). Yet, I can’t find August’s or June’s (June’s may very well be the 129 recorded in Volcano Springs, CA, USA, but I can’t be entirely sure), or any other month’s. And I was able to find that July’s record low is -129 in Vostok, Antarctica, January’s is -87 set in Northice, Greenland, while February’s is -90 set in Siberia (I forget the names of the towns).

well I know a site for the record highs and lows of cities worldwide, however I don’t know one that does monthly records. I’ll put a link down below in case you want to go to it.

By the way, you gotta wonder what -129 would feel like lol.

who like yo help me please?

i don’t not how do this. is for my math class please help. is really hard for me because i don’t speak English but a attempt. please help me this is for tomorrow. :}

1)how many liters of pure acid must be added to 3 liters of a 50% acid solution to obtain a 75% acid solution?

A= 1L B=4.5 L C. 1.5 L

2) joe and janna leave home at the same time, traveling in opposite directions. joe drives 45 miles per hour and janna drives 40 miles per hour. in how hours will they be 510 miles apart?
A=6 hours B=5 hours D= 4 hours

3) temperature in the death valley, california, the highest ground Temperature recorded was 9c on july 15,1972. in the formula c= 5/9(F-32), c represents the temperature in the degrees celsius and f represents the temperature in degrees fahrenheit. to the nearest degree, what is the highest ground temperature in death valley in fahrenheit?

a= 201
b = 84
c=34
d.137

please explain and if they can, in Spanish

1) you have 1.5 l of non-acid and want that to be 25%, so 100% = 6l, so you need 3l of pure acid.

But that is not one of your options !!!

Usted tiene 1.5l que no es acido, y quiere esta 25%, entonces 100% = 6 l, so necesita 3l de acido puro.

Pero eso no es una de sus opciones !!

2) separate 85 miles per hour, 510 / 85 = 6
so A – 6 hours

Separan a 85 millas por hora. 510/85 = 6
Entonces A – 6 horas

3) You have typed the question wrong – the highest was not 9c – how many was it ?

Puso la cuestion equivocada – no es 9c – cuantos fue ?

i have a few questions to ask and can people that respond cite their sources? (need info in about a day)?

– the hottest temperature in the US was recorded at Death Valley, California. does anyone know when was it and wat was the temperature?

-what kinds of energy is involved in a roller coaster ride?

-how and when was the telephone invented?

-how does radar or sonar work?

-what is the largest iceberg in the world? and what was the largest iceberg?

The hottest temperature ever recorded in the United States was 134 °F (56.7 °C) at Furnace Creek, Death Valley on July 10, 1913.

The cars on a typical roller coaster are not self-powered. Instead, a standard full-circuit lift-powered coaster is pulled up with a chain or cable along the lift hill to the first peak of the coaster track. Then potential energy becomes kinetic energy as the cars race down the first downward slope. Kinetic energy is converted back into potential energy as the train moves up again to the second peak. This is necessarily lower as some mechanical energy is lost due to friction. Then the train goes down again, and up, and on and on.

Credit for inventing the electric telephone remains in dispute. Antonio Meucci, Johann Philipp Reis, Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray, amongst others, have all been credited with the invention. This all took place during the mid 1870’s. For more info – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone

Radar is a system that uses electromagnetic waves to identify the range, altitude, direction, or speed of both moving and fixed objects such as aircraft, ships, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain. A transmitter emits radio waves, which are reflected by the target and detected by a receiver, typically in the same location as the transmitter.

SONAR (SOund Navigation And Ranging) — or sonar — is a technique that uses sound propagation under water (primarily) to navigate, communicate or to detect other vessels. There are two kinds of sonar — active and passive. Sonar may be used as a means of acoustic location.

The world’s largest iceberg has finally crashed into a massive tongue of ice floating in Antarctic waters.
The predicted “collision of the century”- between the B15-A iceberg and the Drygalski ice tongue – had been expected to happen on 15 January 2005 in McMurdo Sound in the Ross Sea. But the icy colossus instead became stranded on a shallow seamount a few kilometres away from the 70-km-long tongue – starving penguins and blocking shipping supply routes to Antarctic bases….More – http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7283
(It’s 115 km long)

What is the lowest temperature ever recorded at the Earth’s surface?

I have the following options:

-Alice springs, Australia
-Death Valley, California
-Vostoc Station, Antarctica
-Nottingham, England

As you might expect, Vostok Station, Antarctica is the answer. A temperature of ?89 °C was recorded there on July 21, 1983.

Why is death valley in california recorded the highest temperature?

December 11th, 2009 2 comments

I want the reason of it

Two of the three highest ambient surface air temperatures on Earth were recorded in Death Valley, California:

1. A temperature of 57.7°C (135.86°F) recorded at Al ‘Aziziyah, Libya, on September 13, 1922.

2. A temperature of 57.06°C (134.7°F) recorded at Furnace Creek in Death Valley, California, USA, on July 3, 2001.

3. A temperature of 56.67°C (134°F) recorded at Furnace Creek in Death Valley, California, USA, on July 10, 1913.

Death Valley frequently experiences some of the highest temperatures in the North America due to its leeward desert climate and low elevation (-86 meters). The highest temperatures in Death Valley usually occur in föhn winds. A föhn wind occurs when a deep layer of prevailing wind is forced over a mountain range (orographic lifting). As the wind moves upslope, it expands and cools, causing water vapor to precipitate out. This dehydrated air then passes over the crest and begins to move downslope. As the wind descends to lower levels on the leeward side of the mountains, the air heats as it comes under greater atmospheric pressure creating strong, gusty, dry, and hot winds.

PS – Death Valley is the lowest elevation in North America at -86 meters (-282 feet). Laguna del Carbón in Argentina has recently been identified as the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere at -105 meters (-344 feet).
