Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. the eastbound train travels at 95 miles per

hour. the westbound train travels at 75 miles per hour. how long will it take for the two trains to be 272 miles apart? do not do any rounding.

The east bound train travels at a speed of 95 mile per hour and the west bound train at 75 miles per hour.
Assuming eastbound train will cover distance x then the west bound train will cover distance 272-x .
Therefore, since time taken will be the same then; x/95 = (272-x)/75
          = 75x = 95 (272-x)
          = 75x = 25840 - 95x
          = 170 x= 25840
                     x = 152 miles
Thus time taken will either be x/95 or (272-x)/75
           = 152/95
           = 1.6 hours or 1 hour 36 minutes

kow [346]

Answer:

S = 11.025 m

Explanation:

Given,

The time taken by the pebble to hit the water surface is, t = 1.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Using the II equations of motion

                          S = ut + 1/2 gt²

Here u is the initial velocity of the pebble. Since it is free-fall, the initial velocity

                                u = 0

Therefore, the equation becomes

                            S = 1/2 gt²

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                              S = 0.5 x 9.8 x 1.5²

                                 = 11.025 m

Hence, the distance from the edge of the well to the water's surface is, S = 11.025 m

An object is located 50 cm from a converging lens having a focal length of 15 cm. Which of the following is true regarding the i
crimeas [40]

Answer:

It is real, inverted, and smaller than the object.

Explanation:

Let's start by using the lens equation to find the location of the image:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}

where we have:

q = ? is the distance of the image from the lens

f = 15 cm is the focal length (positive for a converging lens)

p = 50 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Solving the equation for q, we find

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{15 cm}-\frac{1}{50 cm}=0.047 cm^{-1}

q=\frac{1}{0.047 cm^{-1}}=+21.3 cm

The sign of q is positive, so the image is real.

Now let's also write the magnification equation:

h_i = - h_o \frac{q}{p}

where  

h_i, h_o are the size of the image and of the object

By substituting p = 50 cm and q = 21.3 cm, we find

h_i = - h_o \frac{21.3 cm}{50 cm}=-0.43 h_o

So we notice that:

|h_i| < |h_o| : this means that the image is smaller than the object

h_i < 0 : this means that the image is inverted

so, the correct option is:

It is real, inverted, and smaller than the object.
