Let car A's starting position be the origin, so that its position at time <em>t</em> is
A: <em>x</em> = (40 m/s) <em>t</em>
and car B has position at time <em>t</em> of
B: <em>x</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>
<em />
They meet when their positions are equal:
(40 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>
(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m
<em>t</em> = (100 m) / (100 m/s) = 1 s
so the cars meet 1 second after they start moving.
They are 100 m apart when the difference in their positions is equal to 100 m:
(40 m/s) <em>t</em> - (100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>) = 100 m
(subtract car B's position from car A's position because we take car A's direction to be positive)
(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 200 m
<em>t</em> = (200 m) / (100 m/s) = 2 s
so the cars are 100 m apart after 2 seconds.
Harder. Not compressible(unless using an extremely strong force). Non-metal have more of a chance of breaking than metals.
Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
Reactors use uranium for nuclear fuel. The uranium is processed into small ceramic pellets and stacked together onto sealed metal tubes called fuel rods. The heat created by fission turns the water into steam.
Gravity is affected by mass and distance
