22.2 m/s or 80 km/h

Explanation:

Given that

Distance travelled by the car, d = 240 km

Time taken by the car, t = 3 hours.

Speed of the car, v = ? m/s

for easy calculations, we will be converting the units to meters and seconds respectively.

240 km to meters would be

240 * 1000 m = 240000 m

3 hrs to seconds would be

3 * 60 mins * 60 seconds = 10800 s

now, we have our distance and time to be

d = 240000 m

t = 10800 s

speed is defined as the ratio of distance with respect to time taken, effectively,

Speed = distance/time

speed, v= 240000 / 10800

v = 22.2 m/s

therefore, the speed of the car during the time is 22.2 m/s, or if the speed is needed in km/h, we can convert it

22.2 * 3600/1000 =

80 km/h

All these statements are related to drake's equation. it is a probabilistic equation that shows an aproximate number of civilizations in our galaxy that we can communicate with. all the numbers that are inserted into equation are not precisely known so the result varies from 1000 to 100,000,000. the equations was not created to calculate exact number of extraterrestrial civilizations but to increase scientific knowledge how to find them.the equation is: $n= r_{*} *f_{p}*n_{e}*f_{l}*f_{i}*f_{c}*l$ where: n= represents the number of civilizations in our galaxy that we could in principle communicate with today. $r_{*} =$ the average rate of star formation in our galaxy $f_{p} =$ the fraction of those stars that have planets $n_{e} =$ represents the number of planets in the galaxy that are in principle capable of having surface liquid water and life. $f_{l} =$ essentially represents the probability that life eventually arises on a habitable planet. represents the number of life-bearing planets in the galaxy. $f_{i} =$ epresents the total number of planets on which intelligent beings have evolved and developed a communicating civilization at some time in the galaxy's history. $f_{c} =$ essentially represents the probability that on a planet with life, some organisms will eventually evolve to the point where they can build radio telescopes. $l =$ is a factor that depends on how long civilizations that reach our level of technology are able to survive.

Acyclotron is used to produce a beam of high-energy deuterons that then collide with a target to produce radioactive isotopes for a medical procedure. deuterons are nuclei of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, consisting of one neutron and one proton, with total mass 3.34×10−27kg. the deuterons exit the cyclotron with a kinetic energy of 6.40 mev .a-what is the speed of the deuterons when they exit? b-if the magnetic field inside the cyclotron is 1.25 t, what is the diameter of the deuterons' largest orbit, just before they exit? c-if the beam current is 350 μa how many deuterons strike the target each second?
