The time taken for Train A to be 39.1 miles ahead of Train B is 2.7 hours

<h3>How to determine the relative speed</h3>
  • Speed of Train A = 41.1 mph
  • Speed of Train B = 26.5 mph
  • Relative speed =?

Relative speed = 41.1 - 26.5

Relative speed = 14.6 mph

<h3>How to determine the time to be 39.1 miles apart</h3>
  • Relative speed = 14.6 mph
  • Distance = 39.1 miles
  • Time =?

Relative speed = distance / time

14.6 = 39.1 / time

Cross multiply

14.6 × time = 39.1

Divide both side by 14.6

Time = 39.1 / 14.6

Time = 2.7 hours

Thus, it will take train A 2.7 hours to be 39.1 miles ahead of Train B

On a frozen pond, a 8.54-kg sled is given a kick that imparts to it an initial speed of ð£0=1.87 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:2.05 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of sled m=8.54 kg

initial speed u=0.187 m/s

coefficient of kinetic Friction \mu _k=0.087

According to work-energy theorem work done by all the forces is change in Kinetic energy

W_{friction}=\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2-\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

\mu _kmg\times d=\frac{1}{2}\times 8.54\times 1.87^2 ,where d= distance moved

0.087\times 8.54\times 9.8\times d=14.93

d=\frac{14.93}{7.281}

d=2.05 m

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

<em>17 m/s west</em>

Explanation:

Runner 1 has velocity = 10 m/s west

runner 2 has velocity = 7 m/s east

From the frame of reference of runner 2, we can imagine runner 2 as standing still, and runner 1 moving away from him, towards the west with their combined velocity of

velocity = 10 m/s + 7 m/s = <em>17 m/s west</em>
