Two locomotives approach each other on parallel tracks. Each has a speed of 95 km per h with respect to the ground. If they are

initially 8.5 km apart, how long will it be before they reach each other?

Answer:

t = 0.045 hr

Explanation:

given,

speed of the car A = 95 Km/h

speed of car B = 95 Km/h

initial distance = 8.5 Km

time = ?

now,

the relative speed between the two vehicle

= 95 - (-95) = 190 Km/h

we have use negative speed because one car is moving opposite to other.

we know,

distance = speed x time

t = \dfrac{distance}{speed}

t = \dfrac{8.5}{190}

t = 0.045 hr

time taken the car to reach each other is equal to 0.045 hours.

Astronomers observe the motion of four planets that orbit a star similar to the Sun. Each planet follows an elliptical orbit aro
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

planet that is farthest away is planet X

kepler's third law

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use Kepler's third law which is an application of Newton's second law to the case of the orbits of the planets

          T² = (\frac{4\pi ^2}{ G M_s} a³ = K_s a³

           

Let's apply this equation to our case

          a = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{T^2}{K_s} }

for this particular exercise it is not necessary to reduce the period to seconds

Plant W

             10² = K_s  a_{w}^3

             a_w = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{100}{ K_s} }

             a_w = \frac{1}{ \sqrt[3]{K_s} }  4.64

Planet X

             a_x = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{640^3}{K_s} }

             a_x = \frac{1}{ \sqrt[3]{K_s} } 74.3

Planet Y

              a_y = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{80^2}{K_s}  }

              a_y = \frac{1}{ \sqrt[3]{K_s} } 18.6

Planet z

              a_z = \sqrt[3]{ \frac{270^2}{K_s} }

              a_z = \frac{1}{ \sqrt[3]{K_s} } 41.8

From the previous results we see that planet that is farthest away is planet X

where we have used kepler's third law

What is the speed of an electron traveling 32 cm in 2 ns?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Speed, v=1.6\times 10^8\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by the electron, d = 32 cm = 0.32 m

Time, t = 2 ns

We need to find the speed of an electron. Speed is equal to distance covered divided by time. So,

v=\dfrac{0.32}{2\times 10^{-9}}\\\\v=1.6\times 10^8\ m/s

So, the speed of the electron is 1.6\times 10^8\ m/s.

How are typhoons formed? <br>Need help! ​
Mila [183]

Answer:

typhoon forms when winds blow into areas of the ocean where the water is warm. These winds collect moisture and rise, while colder air moves in below. This creates pressure, which causes the winds to move very quickly. The winds rotate, or spin, around a center called an eye.

A copper rod 0.570 � long and with a mass 0.05900 �� is suspended from two thin wire. At right angle to the rod is a uniform mag
finlep [7]

Answer:

a) Left to right

b) 1.51 A

Explanation:

a)

The gravitational force on the rod due to its mass is in downward direction. hence to levitate the rod, the magnetic force on the rod must be in upward direction.

The magnetic field is inward to page and magnetic force must be upward. Using right hand rule, the current must be flowing from left to right.

Left to right

b)

L = length of the copper rod = 0.570 m

m = mass of the rod = 0.059 kg

B = magnitude of magnetic field in the region = 0.670 T

θ = Angle between the magnetic field and rod = 90

i = current flowing throw the rod = ?

The magnetic force on the rod balances the gravitational force on the rod. hence

Magnetic force = gravitational force

mg = i B L Sinθ

(0.059) (9.8) = i (0.670) (0.570) Sin90

i = 1.51 A
