The length of a Train A is 480 m and it takes 2 minutes to cross a tunnel of length 1,320 m. The length of a Train B, which is s

lower than Train A, is 420 m. Both the trains start at the same time from the opposite directions. If the difference between their speeds is 18 km/h, find the time they take to cross each other. (Enter only the number)

Answer: 52.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of train A = 480m

Tunnel length = 1320m

Time taken to cross tunnel = 2 mins = 120sec

Length of train B = 420m

Train B is slower than train A

Difference between their speed = 18km/hr

18km/hr = (18×1000)/3600 = 5m/s

Speed of train A :

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 1320 / 120 = 11m/s

Therefore, speed of train B :

(11 - 5)m/s = 6m/s

Relative speed of the two trains is therefore;

(Speed of A + speed of B)

Note : they are moving in opposite direction

( 11 + 6)m/s = 17m/s

Therefore time taken to cross each other :

(Sum of the length of both trains / relative speed of the trains)

Time taken = (480m + 420m) / (17m/s)

Time taken = 900m / 17m/s

Time taken = 52.94s

What is 3x+6y=16. what do i do please help
DochEvi [55]
Ok, so for this you're likely graphing in y=mx+b format (slope intercept). So to start, you'all first subtract 3x from the equation to get 6y=-3x+16. Now you'll divide the equation by 6 to get y alone. Your final equation will be y=-1/2x+16/6

Water flows through a pipe at a rate of 710 pints per day. Express this rate of flow in cubic feet per month. Round your answer
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

356 ft³ per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Water flows at a rate of 710 pints per day.

We shall convert 710 pints to cubic feet (ft³).

This can be obtained as follow:

1 pint = 0.0167 ft³

Therefore,

710 pints = 710 × 0.0167 = 11.857 ft³

From the calculations made above, 710 pints is equivalent to 11.857 ft³.

Thus, we can say that water flows at a rate of 11.857 ft³ per day.

Finally, we shall determine the rate of flow of water in cubic feet per month.

Note: there are 30 days in a month.

Water flow at a rate of 11.857 ft³ per day.

Therefore, the rate of flow of water in 30 days will be = 30 × 11.857 ft³ = 356 ft³

Thus, the flow rate of water is 356 ft³ per month.
