Answer:

Explanation:

Given

distance traveled by  Passenger train is d_1=392\ mi

distance traveled by  Freight train is d_2=322\ mi

Both take same time to travel

suppose speed of freight train is x mph

so speed of passenger train is 20+x mph

we know time=\frac{distance}{speed}

t=\frac{392}{20+x}=\frac{322}{x}

392x=322x+322\times 20

70x=322\times 20

x=92\ mph

speed of passenger train x+20=112\ mph

A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 9.2 m/s hits a 5.0 m wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continue
enot [183]

Answer:

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Explanation:

The distance travelled on the rough ice is equal to the width of the rough ice.

distance d = 5.0 m

Initial speed u = 9.2 m/s

Final speed v = 5.8 m/s

The time taken to move through the rough ice can be calculated using the equation of motion;

d = 0.5(u+v)t

time t = 2d/(u+v)

Substituting the given values;

t = 2(5)/(9.2+5.8)

t = 2/3 = 0.66667 second

The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time;

acceleration a = ∆v/t

a = (v-u)/t

Substituting the values;

a = (5.8-9.2)/0.66667

a = -5.099974500127

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

The y-component of a projectile’s velocity is 12.1 m/s. When the projectile once again passes by the height from which it was la
Nat2105 [25]
It's 12.1 m/s, assuming that's the launch velocity that's given.
For projectile motion, velocity's y-component is parabolic/quadratic. It's x-component is constant, so you don't need to know it.
