A passenger train travels 392 mi in the same time that it takes a freight train to travel 322 mi. If the passenger train travels

20 mi/h faster than the freight train, find the speed of each train.

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

(since you asked for basic understanding only, I am not including actual calculations. Please let me know in the comments section if you wish to verify your solution(s))

For (b): Use the formula for distance (s) made during an accelerated motion:

s = \frac{1}{2}at^2+ v_0t+s_0= \frac{1}{2}at^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2

with v_0 and s_0 being the initial velocity and distance, both 0 in this case, and with "a" denoting the acceleration, in this case  solely due to gravitational acceleration so: "g."

You are given the distance made, namely 10 m, and the duration t (0.88s) and so using the formula above you can solve for g.

For (c), to determine the final velocity at time 0.88s use the formula for the instantaneous velocity of an accelerated motion

(velocity at time t) = (acceleration) x (time)  

again, with acceleration due to gravity, i.e., a = g and with g as determined under (b).  

If my calculation is correct, this mystery planet could be the Jupiter.

Can someone please help me:(
finlep [7]

Answer:

<em><u>Incomple</u></em><em><u>te</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>ques</u></em><em><u>tion</u></em><em><u>!</u></em>

you have to provide mass to get acceleration

as Newton's 2nd law, force=mass×accln

now,here force toward D is 100N,if it hav mass m

then accln will be 100/m

For the electric power transmission system shown in the figure above, what is the ratio ns/np for the step-up transformer? assum
Ann [662]
I am attaching the missing figure

If we assume 100% efficiency, this means that the input power of the transformer must be equal to the output power

We divide output/input

240,000/12,000 = 20

This means that the transformer has a turns ratio of 1:20

<span>ns/np = 20/1 = 20

The voltage is amplified 20 times by the transformer, but this also means that the current decreases by a factor of 20, so the total power remains the same.</span>
