• Mark S. is running for a touchdown during the big game. His velocity was pretty good at 9.8 yd/sec. It took him 10.2 seconds to run for this touchdown. How far did
Mark have to run to score the 6 points?

Explanation:

v = 9.8 yd/sec

t = 10 sec

d = ??

You really don't have to do any conversions. Football distances are measured in yards.

d = r * t

d = 9.8 * 10.2

d = 99.96 yards

I think I would round that to 100 yards.

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
