<span>they are travelling at right angles to each other.
 At any given instant they form a right triangle with their starting point
 </span>South bound <span>= x  [mi/h]
</span> East bound <span> = x+1 [mi/h]
 after five hours they will be
 d=5x
 and
 d=5(x+1)
 miles away from the starting point 
 (5x)^2+(5(x+1))^2=625
 25x^2+(5x+5)^2=625
 25x^2+25x^2+50x+25=625
 50</span>x^2+50x-600=0
<span> x^2+ x - 12=0
 (x+4)(x-3)=0
 take the postive value
 x= 3 mph the speed of south bound
 4mph east bound </span>

A northbound train and a southbound train meet each other on parallel tracks heading in opposite directions. The northbound trai
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

50mph,60mph

Explanation:

Let speed of southbound train=x mph

Speed of northbound train,y=x+16 mph

Distance between two trains after 1.5 hour,174 miles.

We have to find the speed of two trains.

Distance=speed\times time

Using the formula

174=1.5x+1.5(x+16)

174=1.5(x+x+16)

174=(2x+16)\times 1.5

174=3x+24

3x=174-24=150

x=\frac{150}{3}=50mph

y=x+16=50+16=66mph

What is the angular displacement of the wheel between t = 5 s and t = 15 s?
Mkey [24]

The question seems incomplete. The complete text is:

a)What is the angular displacement of the wheel between t = 5 s and t = 15 s

b)What is the angular velocity of the wheel at 15 s

And it refers to the attached figure.

a) 25 rad

The graph shown represent the angular position of the wheel at different times.

Therefore, we can simply calculate the  angular displacement between two times by calculating the difference between the angular position at t2 and the angular position at t1.

At t_1 = 5 s, the angular position from the graph is \theta_1 = 100 rad

At t_2 = 15 s, the angular position from the graph is \theta_2 = 125 rad

Therefore, the angular displacement is

\Delta \theta= \theta_2 - \theta_1 = 125-100 = 25 rad

2) -5.0 rad/s

For a angular displacement vs time graph, the angular velocity at any time is simply equal to the slope of the curve at that time.

Here  we want to calculate the angular velocity at t = 15 s, so we have to calculate the slope at that time.

By noting that the slope is constant in the last part of the motion, we find that the slope between 10 s and 20 s is:

\frac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}=\frac{100 rad - 150 rad}{20 s - 10 s}=-5.0 rad/s

This slope is constant between 10 s and 20 s, so the angular velocity of the wheel at t = 15 s

\omega = -5.0 rad/s

A rod of very small diameter with a mass 2m and length 3L is placed along the xaxis with one end at the origin. An identical rod
rewona [7]

Answer:

coordinates of the center of mass for these two rods

(x_{cm}, y_{cm})= (\frac{3L}{4},  \frac{3L}{4})cm

Explanation:

given

mass of a rod = 2m

length of the rod = 3L

mass of two rods = 2(2m) = 4m

radius = diameter/2 = \frac{3L}{2}

attached is the diagram and solution to the question
