You have to find an equation that would relate the two motions of the locomotives. When they meet at a certain point after being 8.5 km apart initially, then that means that their individual distances traveled is equal to 8.5 The solution is as follows:

Distance = speed*time
Total distace = 8.5 = 155t + 155t
Solving for t,
t = 0.027 hour or 98.71 seconds

What is the potential energy of a 3kg ball that is on the ground?
ELEN [110]

This is where we have to admit that gravitational potential energy is
one of those things that depends on the "frame of reference", or
'relative to what?'.

         Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (<em>height</em>).

So you have to specify <em><u>height above what</u></em> .

-- With respect to the ground, the ball has zero potential energy.
(If you let go of it, it will gain zero kinetic energy as it falls to
the ground.)

-- With respect to the floor in your basement, the potential energy is

                 (3) x (9.8) x (3 meters) = 88.2 joules.

(If you let go of it, it will gain 88.2 joules of kinetic energy as it falls
to the floor of your basement.)

-- With respect to the top of that 10-meter hill over there, the potential
energy is
                    (3) x (9.8) x (-10) = -294 joules

(Its potential energy is negative. After you let go of it, you have to give it
294 joules of energy that it doesn't have now, in order to lift it to the top of
the hill <em>where it will have zero</em> potential energy.)

What is the frequency of a wave if the speed is 24 m/s and the wave is 2 meters
vekshin1
Velocity=frequency(wavelength)
24m/s=f(2m)
24/2=f(2)/2
12Hz=f
