<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>

Explain integration and differentiation in simple method!
Anika [276]
Differentiation in its simplest of terms means breaking something into small parts. On the other hand, integration is taking those really small parts and gluing them in the right order. In short, these terms are the direct opposite or inverses of each other. The term which can tell you how fast you are going at a moment in time at ones current location is called a derivative. The term on the other hand, which can tell you how far you have travelled if you have been keeping track of your location and your time is what an integral is referred to. It is like differentiation only needs knowledge on the local neighbourhood while integration will need the knowledge on a global knowledge.

Sergio039 [100]
The answer is true: the pressure of a gas will decrease as temperature decreases in a rigid container.

This is one of the central gas laws called the Gay-Lussac law that states for a given gas at a constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature. We also know that as temperature reduces, so too does molecular interaction. Increased temperature results in increased pressure, and decreased temperature therefore results in decreased pressure.

A box is initially sliding across a frictionless floor toward a spring which is attached to a wall. the box hits the end of the
Serjik [45]
The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2
where k is the spring's constant and x is the displacement with respect to the relaxed position of the spring.

The work done by the spring is the negative of the potential energy difference between the final and initial condition of the spring:
W=-\Delta U =  \frac{1}{2}kx_i^2 -  \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2

In our problem, initially the spring is uncompressed, so x_i=0. Therefore, the work done by the spring when it is compressed until x_f is
W=- \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2
And this value is actually negative, because the box is responsible for the spring's compression, so the work is done by the box.
