Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. the eastbound train travels at 85 miles per

hour. the westbound train travels at 75 miles per hour. how long will it take for the two trains to be 352 miles apart?

<span>Since the trains area headed in completely opposite directions, the rate at which they gain distance from each other is simply equal to the sum of the magnitudes of their velocities, in this case 85 + 75 = 160 miles per hour. Therefore, the amount of time it will take for them to be 352 miles apart is 352/160 = 2.2 hours, or 2 hours and 12 minutes.</span>

What current flows through a 2.54cm diameter rod of pure silicon that is 20cm long when 1000V is applied?
vfiekz [6]

Answer: 0.0039\ A

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of the rod d=2.54\ cm

length of rod is l=20\ cm

Resistivity of silicon is \rho=6.4\times 10^2\ \Omega-m

cross-section of the rod A

\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{3.142\times 2.54^2\times 10^{-4}}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow A=5.067\times 10^{-4}\ m^2

Resistance of rod is  R

\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}

\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{640\times 0.20}{5.067\times 10^{-4}}\\\\\Rightarrow R=25.26\times 10^4\ \Omega

Current is given by

\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1000}{25.26\times 10^4}\\\\\Rightarrow I=0.0039\ A

The two-second rule applies to any speed __________ A. in all weather conditions. B. in ideal weather and road conditions. C. in
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

A large risk of tailgating is the collision avoidance time being much less than the driver reaction time. Driving instructors advocate that drivers always use the "two-second rule" regardless of speed or the type of road. During adverse weather, downhill slopes, or hazardous conditions such as black ice, it is important to maintain an even greater distance.
