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

If an electric wire is allowed to produce a magnetic field no larger than that of the Earth (0.503 X 104 T) at a distance of 15
dem82 [27]

Answer:

37.725 A

Explanation:

B = magnitude of the magnetic field produced by the electric wire = 0.503 x 10⁻⁴ T

r = distance from the wire where the magnetic field is noted = 15 cm = 0.15 m

i = magnitude of current flowing through the wire = ?

Magnetic field by a long wire is given as

B = \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi }\frac{2i}{r}

Inserting the values

0.503\times 10^{-4} = (10^{-7})\frac{2i}{0.15}

i = 37.725 A

A parachutist of mass 56.0 kg jumps out of a balloon at a height of 1400 m and lands on the ground with a speed of 5.60 m/s. How
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Efriction = 768.23 [kJ]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use the principle of energy conservation. Where it tells us that the energy of a system plus the work applied or performed by that system, will be equal to the energy in the final state. We have two states the initial at the time of the balloon jump and the final state when the parachutist lands.

We must identify the types of energy in each state, in the initial state there is only potential energy, since the reference level is in the ground, at the reference point the potential energy is zero. At the time of landing the parachutist will only have potential energy, since it reaches the reference level.

The friction force acts in the opposite direction to the movement, therefore it will have a negative sign.

E_{pot}-E_{friction}=E_{kin}

where:

E_{pot}=m*g*h\\E_{kin}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

m = mass = 56 [kg]

h = elevation = 1400 [m]

v = velocity = 5.6 [m/s]

(56*9.81*1400)-E_{friction}=\frac{1}{2}*56*(5.6)^{2}\\769104 -E_{friction}= 878.08 \\E_{friction}=769104-878.08\\E_{friction}=768226[J] = 768.23 [kJ]

How does Newton's second law of motion can be used to calculate the acceleration of an object?
Alex777 [14]

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

How are families in perodic table determined
charle [14.2K]

1. The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior.

2. All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties.

3. The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called periods.

"The distance between the front and rear wheels of a 2280 kg car is 3.15 m. The car’s center of gravity lies in the middle of th
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

Hello to solve this problem we must initially draw the free body diagram of the car, and remember that for a body to be in balance the sum of its moments must be zero.

When this equation is raised, we can find the relationship between the forces of the front and rear wheel, and the complete procedure is attached.
