Lets assume that s is the speed of the slower train and f is the speed of the faster train.
s = f - 16
f = 150 / t
s = 170 / ( t+2 )
-----------------------
170 / ( t+2 ) = 150 / t  - 16  / t * ( t + 2 ) 
170 t = 150 * ( t + 2 ) - 16 t * ( t + 2 )
170 t = 150 t + 300 - 16 t² - 32 t
16 f² + 52 t - 300 = 0 /  : 4  ( We will divide both sides of the equation by 4 )
4 t² + 13 t - 75 = 0
t 1/2 = ( -13 + √(169 + 1200 ) )/ 8
t = ( - 13 + 37 ) / 8 = 24 / 8 = 3
t = 3 h
s = 170 : ( 3 + 2 ) = 170 : 5 = 34 mph
Answer: The speed of the slower train is 34 mph.

A car’s bumper is designed to withstand a 4.0-km/h (1.1-m/s) collision with an immovable object without damage to the body of th
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

 avriage force F = 2722.5 N

Explanation:

For this problem we can use Newton's second law, to calculate the average force and acceleration we can find it by kinematics.

      vf² = v₀² - 2 ax

The final carriage speed is zero (vf = 0)

      0 = v₀² - 2ax

      a = v₀² / 2x

      a = 1.1²/(2 0.200)

      a = 3.025 m / s²

      a = 3.0 m/s²

We calculate the average force

      F = ma

      F = 900 3,025

      F = 2722.5 N

Fittoniya [83]

Answer : 0.814 newton

Explanation:

force (magnetic) acting on the wire is given by

F= ? , I=2.2amp , B = 0.37 T

F = B i l sin (theta) = 0.37 x 2.2 x 2x 0.5 = 0.814N

You are playing a speed-based card game with your 64-year-old grandfather. The object of the game is to get rid of your cards as
Masteriza [31]

Now, you always beat him. Your grandfather is likely experiencing a slight decline in perceptual speed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The speed of perception refers to the capacity to accurately (and completely) compare words letter, digits, objects, images, etc. When testing, these objects can be displayed simultaneously or one after the other. This type of test can be included in the proficiency test.

For example, we have also seen all the puzzles that ask the reader to notice the differences between the two pictures. The time it takes to recognize these differences is a measure of the speed of perception. Likewise, in getting rid of cards at the given situation, grandfather experiences a less decline in his perceptual speed.
