Two cars travel westward along a straight highway, one at a constant velocity of 85 km/h, and the other at a constant velocity o

f 115 km/h.
a. assuming that both cars start at the same point, how much sooner does the faster car arrive at a destination 16 km away?
b. how far must the cars travel for the faster car to arrive 15 min before the slower car?

To solve letter a:

d1 = 85t1 = 16 km, 
85t1 = 16, 
t1 = 16 / 85 = 0.1882 h = 11.29 min. 

d2 = 115t2 = 16 km, 
115t2 = 16, 
t2 = 16 / 115 = 0.139 h = 8.35 min. 

t1 - t2 = 11.29 - 8.35 = 2.94 min. 
Car #2 arrives 2.94 minutes sooner.

To solve letter b:

15 min = 1/4 h = 0.25 h. 
d1 = d2, 
115t = 85(t + 0.25), 
115t = 85t + 21.25, 
115t - 85t = 21.25, 
30t = 21.25, 
t = 21.25 / 30 = 0.71 h, 

d = 115 * 0.71 = 81.65 km.

Researchers have found that the larvae of all North American firefly species glow as a warning sign to ward off predators. Howev
Marrrta [24]

Explanation:

The theory of speciation confirms what happens with fireflies, only fireflies that are part of the same species can reproduce among themselves, which means that fireflies that use pheromones as mating signals will attract fireflies that use that same form or mechanism of reproduction.

Some mechanisms that allow this type of differentiation or speciation to occur are: seasonal or geographic isolation and sexual isolation due to behavior or conduct.

Speciation allows the formation of new populations of organisms that share the same physiological and genetic characteristics. Therefore, the adult fireflies that shine as a mating signal are possibly found in the same geographical position and their physiological and genetic characteristics are compatible with those of his own species.

A train takes ms eaddy 200 miles north and 150 miles south. The total trip took 3.5 hours what was the average velocity of the t
Verizon [17]
The whole point of this problem is to check how well you understand
the definitions of a few important quantities, like velocity, speed, distance,
displacement etc.

Before we begin, I just want to mention that 'MPG' is not a unit of either
velocity or speed, but I think I know what you mean.

-- For some reason, Ms. Eaddy rode 100 miles north on the train, then
stayed aboard while the train turned around and took her 150 miles south.
The total distance she rode was (100 + 150) = 250 miles.  But she ended up
50 miles south of where she began.

-- Displacement for the whole trip = distance and direction from the start point
to the finish point.

Displacement = 50 miles south

-- Average velocity = (displacement) / (time)

50 miles south / 3.5 hours = <u>14.29 miles per hour south</u>

Explain in your own words how the Doppler Effect is also applicable in our study of light.
arlik [135]

well in my own words, i'd saw the the doppler effect is similar to light because sound has a speed, and light does too.

so my theory is if you go fast enough everything would just become black, or maybe white? idk its hard to explain

but what my point is, is taht the doppler effect works in the same way, like if a car is moving towards you the sound is being emitted from the car and being pushed by the speed of the car making it have a much higher pitch, when the car is going away however it drops to a lower pitch due the the sound waves being DRAGGED by the car.

there hoped this helped I guess
