2 cycleists, 90 miles apart starting riding toward each other at some times one cycles twice as fast as the other if they meet 2

hrs later at what average speed is each cyclist traveling

Average speed of the first car= 15 miles/hr

Average speed of the second car= 30 miles/hr

Explanations:

distance= d= 90 miles

Time= 2 hrs

let speed of first cyclist= v

speed of second cyclist= 2v

relative speed = v + 2v= 3v

using relative speed= Total distance/Total time

3v= 90/2

3 v=45

v=15 miles/hr

so speed of first cyclist= 15 miles/hr

speed of second cyclist= 2 (15)= 30 miles/hr

A little boy is standing at the edge of a cliff 1000 m high. He throws a ball straight downward at an initial speed of 20 m/s, a
marin [14]

Answer:

The ball will be at 700 m above the ground.

Explanation:

We can use the following kinematic equation

y(t) = \ y_0 \ + \ v_0 \ t \ + \frac{1}{2} \ a \ t^2.

where y(t) represent the height from the ground. For our problem, the initial height will be:

y_0 \ = \ 1000 m.

The initial velocity:

v_0 = - 20 \frac{m}{s},

take into consideration the minus sign, that appears cause the ball its thrown down.  The same minus appears for the acceleration:

a=-10\frac{m}{s}

So, the equation for our problem its:

y(t) = \ 1000 m \ - \ 20 \ \frac{m}{s} \ t \ - \frac{1}{2} \ 10 \frac{m}{s^2} \ t^2.

Taking t=6 s:

y(6 \ s) = \ 1000 m \ - \ 20 \ \frac{m}{s} \ * \ 6 \ s \ - \frac{1}{2} \ 10 \frac{m}{s^2} \ * \ (6 s)^2.

y(6 \ s) = \ 1000 m \ - 120 m - \frac{1}{2} \ 10 \frac{m}{s^2} \ * \ 36 s^2.

y(6 \ s) = \ 1000 m \ - 120 m - 180 m.

y(6 \ s) = \ 1000 m \ - 300 m.

y(6 \ s) = \ 700 m.

So this its the height of the ball 6 seconds after being thrown.

If a 10. m3 volume of air (acting as an ideal gas) is at a pressure of 760 mm and a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius is taken t
kow [346]
We know, the ideal gas equation, 
P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2

Here, P1 = 760 mm
V1 = 10 m3
T1 = 27 + 273 = 300 K

P2 = 400 mm Hg
T2 = -23 + 273 = 250 K

Substitute their values, 
760*10 / 300 = 400 * V2 / 250
25.33 * 250 = 400 * V2
V2 = 6333.333/ 400
V2 = 15.83

In short, Your Answer would be approx. 15.83 m3

Hope this helps!
