First, let's express the movement of Car A and B in terms of their position over time (relative to car B)
For car A: y=20x-200   Car A moves 20 meters every second x, and starts 200 meters behind car B
For Car B: y= 15x      Car B moves 15 meters every second and starts at our basis point

Set the two equations equal to one another to find the time x at which they meet:
20x - 200 = 15x
200 = 5x 
x= 40
At time x=40 seconds, the cars meet. How far will Car A have traveled at this time? 
Car A moves 20 meters every second:
20 x 40 = 800 meters

Argon, atomic number 18, has an atomic weight of 39.9. Potassium, atomic number 19, has an atomic weight of 39.1. Which of these
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: D

Explanation:

Atomic weight is measured by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Argon's atomic number is 18 while potassium's is 19. This means that Argon will always have 18 protons while potassium will always have 19 protons.

To make the numbers easier to work with, round each atomic weight. We'll say the atomic weight of potassium is 39 and the atomic weight of argon is 40. To see how many neutrons each one has, I can set up a simple equation for each using the following equation:

Atomic weight = protons + neutrons

Potassium:

39 = 19 + N  -->  N = 20

Argon:

40 = 18 + N  -->  N = 22

An atom is defined by the number of protons it has, but the number of neutrons can vary. We call these isotopes, or atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. As the math shows, argon typically has more neutrons per atom than potassium does.

El coeficiente de variación de la resistencia con la temperatura del carbón es -0.0005/°c.Si la resistencia de una resistencia d
Doss [256]

Answer:

 R (120) = 940Ω

Explanation:

The variation in resistance with temperature is linear in metals

           ΔR (T) = R₀ α ΔT

where α is the coefficient of variation of resistance with temperature, in this case α = -0,0005 / ºC

let's calculate

            ΔR = 1000 (-0,0005) (120-0)

            ΔR = -60 Ω

            ΔR = R (120) + R (0) = -60

            R (120) = -60 + R (0)

            R (120) = -60 + 1000

            R (120) = 940Ω

A dolphin can swim at a constant speed of 12.5 m/s. How
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

\boxed {\tt 3.6 \ seconds}

Explanation:

Time can be found by dividing the distance by the speed.

t=\frac{d}{s}

The distance is 45 meters and the speed is 12.5 meters per second.

d= 45 \ m \\s= 12.5 \ m/s

t=\frac{45 \ m}{12.5 \ m/s}

Divide. Note that the meters, or "m" will cancel each other out.

t=\frac{45 }{12.5 \ s}

t=3.6 \ s

It will take the dolphin 3.6 seconds to swim a distance of 45 meters are 12.5 meters per second.
