Two trains, each having a speed of 25 lem are headed at each other on the same straight track. A bird that can fly 60 l'm flies

off the front of one train when they hr are 8km apart and heads directly for the other train. On reaching the other train, the bird flies directly back to the first train, and so forth. (We have no idea why a bird would behave in this way.) Calculate the total distance the bird travels before the trains collide?

The total distance the bird travels before the trains collide is 9.6 km.

<h3>Time taken before the two trains meet each other</h3>

Apply the principle of relative velocity as shown below;

(Speed of train A minus Speed of train B)(time before they meet) = distance between them

(Va - Vb)t = d

  • let the direction of the train moving rightward = positive
  • let the direction of the train moving leftward = negative

speed of train a = + 25 km/h

speed of train b = - 25 km/h

(25 km/h - - 25 km/h)t = 8 km

(50 km/h)t = 8 km

t = 8 km / 50 km/h

t = 0.16 h

<h3>Distance traveled by the bird</h3>

Since the bird is in steady motion, the distance covered within the time two trains meet is calculated as follows;

d = speed of bird x time

d = 60 km/h x 0.16 h

d = 9.6 km

Thus, the total distance the bird travels before the trains collide is 9.6 km.

Why are neutral objects attracted to charged objects?
kow [346]

Explanation:

When neutral objects are placed in the vicinity of charged objects,they get attracted.

The isolated neutral object has positive charge and negative charge spread throughout it completely.

When a charged particle is brought,the opposite charges in the neutral object occupy the positions near to the charged particle and the like charges occupy the positions far from the charged particle.

This creates a dipole with some dipole moment.

This dipole attracts to the field of the charged particle.

4. A family leaves from New York City and is flying to Los Angles which is 2800mi away. It takes
Blizzard [7]

The average speed of the whole travel is equal to <u>400 mph</u>.

Why?

From the statement, we know that whole travel is divided into three parts. For the first part (traveling from New York to Chicago), we have that it was 3.25 hours and the covered distance was half of the total distance (1400mi). For the second part, we have that it was 1 hour (layover time), and the covered no distance. For the third part (traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles), we have that it was 2.75 hours, and it took the other half of the total distance (1400mi).

We can calculate the average speed of the whol travel using the following formula:

AverageSpeed=\frac{distance_{1}+distance_{2}+distance_{3}}{time_{1}+time{2}+time_{3}}

Now, substituting and calculating, we have:

AverageSpeed=\frac{1400mi+0mi+1400mi}{3.25h+1h+2.75h}

AverageSpeed=\frac{2800mi}{7h}=400mph

Hence, we have the average speed of the whole travel is equal to 400 mph.

Have a nice day!

Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are examples of rapid events that are caused by the movement of Earth's _______. Mountain bui
andrew11 [14]

The correct answer is - C. Crustal plates, crustal plates.

The movement of the crustal plates of the Earth is the reason why the geologic processes are occurring on our planet. With their movement, the crustal plates manage to create lot of pressure, open up gaps for the magma from the mantle, as well as make adjustments deeper into the ground.

Because of the adjustments deep into the ground, or rather the crust, lot of force is released, manifested as strong and very quick vibrations, better known as earthquakes.

The gaps that are opening between the plates let the magma reach the surface, thus enabling the volcanic activities on the planet.

The pressure from the plates' collision makes the land lift up slowly, and over time a mountain range starts to form because of the continuous lifting up of the area.
