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>

How does speed affect momentum
Arada [10]
Momentum = mass • velocity
M = m • v

Speed is a scalar quantity
Velocity is a vector quantity

a ball moves at a constant speed of 1/2 meter per second. How much time does it take the ball to move 1 meter?
lesya [120]

Answer:

2 seconds

Explanation:

if a ball travels 1/2 meter per second, and there's 2 halfs in a whole, 1/2 meter per second x 2 halfs in a whole meter is 2 seconds to travel a meter

Suppose a 1 Gbps point-to-point link is being set up between the Earth and a new lunar colony. The distance from the moon to Ear
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The time required to send the data from Earth to Moon will be 1.28s while for a two way communication, to send it back to the earth, it will take double time i.e. <em>RTT = 2.56s </em>

Explanation:

Distance between Earth and Moon = 385,000 km = 3.85 x 10⁸m

Speed of data travel = speed of light ≈ 3 x 10⁸m/s

As, v=d/t

t=d/v

t=\frac{3.85*10^{8} }{3*10^{8}}

t=1.28s

RTT = Double of single way time taken = 2x1.28

<em><u>RTT=2.56s</u></em>

A jet aircraft with a mass of 4,475 kg has an engine that exerts a force (thrust) equal to 60,800 N. (a) What is the jet's accel
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

a) 13.59 m/s²

b) 67.95 m/s

c) 169.875 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

m = Mass

Force

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{60800}{4475}\\\Rightarrow a=13.59\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the jet is 13.59 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+13.59\times 5\\\Rightarrow v=67.95\ m/s

Velocity attained at 5 seconds is 67.95 m/s

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{67.95^2-0^2}{2\times 13.59}\\\Rightarrow s=169.875\ m

Distance traveled in the 5 seconds is 169.875 m

a ball is thrown in the air at 20 m/s. ignoring redistance, what is the speed when it returns to the level at which it was throw
inysia [295]

Ball is projected upwards with speed 20 m/s

now using kinematics

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a\delta x

here when ball returns back to same position.

total displacement of ball will be zero.

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 0

vf = vi

So ball will return to initial position with same speed in opposite direction.
