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>

There is a refrigerator running in a room, the heat flowing into the refrigerator from the outside is 40 J/s, and the refrigerat
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

(A) 140 j/sec (b) 1.26 K

Explanation:

We have given the heat heat flowing into the refrigerator = 40 J/sec

Work done = 40 W

(a) So the heat discharged from the refrigerator =heat\ flowing\ in\ refrigerator+work\ done=40+100=140j/sec

(b) Total heat absorbed =140 j/sec =140\times 3600=504000j/hour

Let the temperature be \Delta T

Heat absorbed per hour =504000 [tex]=400\times 10^3\times \Delta T

So  \Delta T=\frac{504000}{400000}=1.26K

Alice and Tom dive from an overhang into the lake below. Tom simply drops straight down from the edge, but Alice takes a running
crimeas [40]

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

Alice launches with horizontal velocity u=25\ m/s

Tom simply drops straight down from the edge

Time taken by both the person is same as they have same initial vertical velocity i.e. zero so the time taken to reach the ground is zero.

Although Alice will travel more horizontal distance compared to Tom.

Thus option c is correct

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.5 s
gulaghasi [49]

(a) 0.96 m/s

The period of the wave corresponds to the time taken for one complete oscillation of the boat, from the highest point to the highest point again. Since the time between the highest point and the lowest point is 2.5 s, the period is twice this time:

T=2\cdot 2.5 s=5.0 s

The frequency of the waves is the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{5.0 s}=0.20 Hz

The wavelength instead is just the distance between two consecutive crests, so

\lambda=4.8 m

And the wave speed is given by:

v=\lambda f=(4.8 m)(0.20 Hz)=0.96 m/s

(b) 0.265 m

The total distance between the highest point of the wave and its lowest point is

d = 0.53 m

The amplitude is just the maximum displacement of the wave from the equilibrium position, so it is equal to half of this distance. So, the amplitude is

A=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.53 m}{2}=0.265 m

(c) Amplitude: 0.15 m, wave speed: same as before

In this case, the amplitude of the wave would be lower. In fact,

d = 0.30 m

So the amplitude would be

A=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.30 m}{2}=0.15 m

Instead, the wave speed would not change, since neither the frequency nor the wavelength of the wave have changed.

Define couple and give 2 examples
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Two equal and opposite parallel forces not acting along the same line, form a couple. A couple is always needed to produce the rotation.

For example, turning a key in a lock and turning a steering wheel.
