- The distance from the earth to the moon is approximately 240,000 miles (mi). The peregrine falcon has been measured as traveling up to 350 km/hr in a dive. If this falcon could travel to the moon at this speed, how long (in days) would it take? Clearly show work using dimensional analysis and give final answer with correct sig.figs.

Rules of Significant Figures and Dimensional Analysis For centuries, the people of Paradis Island have been isolated from the rest of the world. The SI units are unknown to them. Expeditions sent to the island revealed that they created their own system of units, and some of their findings are summarized in Tables 1 and 2. To help the Paradisians advance technologically, people fron the outside are planning to construct a power plant on the island. The plant produces an average of 875.9 gigawatts (GV) of power. A. Calculate the average power rating of the plant in Arlert (R). (1 W = 1 kg-m?/s°} B. Calculate the energy produced by the plant in 5.400 x 10 s of operation. Express the result in Yeager (Y). (1 J = 1 W-5 = 1 kg-m2/s2) (Note: Power energy/time) C. How many households can be powered by the plant after 5.400 x 10 sof operation if each house consumes 1.50 x 10-Y of energy?
A high-‐speed chase captured on a surveillance camera showed the suspect running a red light at an The suspect vehicle collided with a vehicle that had just turned into the path of his car. The tape shows that it took the car 0.546 s to cross the intersection, which was measured to be 41.2 ft. The posted speed limit was 25 mph. Determine whether the suspect was speeding at the moment he collided with the second vehicle.
