A northbound train and a southbound train meet each other on parallel tracks heading in opposite directions. The northbound trai

n travels 16 miles per hour faster than the southbound train. After 1.5 hours, they are 174 miles apart. At what speeds are the two trains traveling?

Answer:

50mph,60mph

Explanation:

Let speed of southbound train=x mph

Speed of northbound train,y=x+16 mph

Distance between two trains after 1.5 hour,174 miles.

We have to find the speed of two trains.

Distance=speed\times time

Using the formula

174=1.5x+1.5(x+16)

174=1.5(x+x+16)

174=(2x+16)\times 1.5

174=3x+24

3x=174-24=150

x=\frac{150}{3}=50mph

y=x+16=50+16=66mph

Answer

Given,

Let the speed of the slower train be x mph.

speed of faster train be (x+16) mph.

time, t = 1.5 hr

d₁ = 1.5 x

d₂ = (x+16)× 1.5

both train are traveling in opposite direction

d₁  + d₂ = 174

1.5 x +  (x+16)× 1.5 = 174

3 x + 24 = 174

3 x = 150

x = 50

Speed of the slower train is 50 mph

Speed of the faster train is (50+16) = 66 mph.

A wire 6.90 m long with diameter of 2.15 mm has a resistance of 0.0320 Ω. Find the resistivity of the material of the wire. rho
spayn [35]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

1.68 x 10⁻⁸Ωm

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The resistance (R) of a wire is related to its length(L), its material resistivity(ρ) and its crossectional area(A) as follows;

R = ρL/A               ------------------------(i)

Where;

A = πd² / 4              [where d = diameter of the wire]

From the question;

L = 6.90m

d = 2.15mm = 0.00215m

R = 0.0320Ω

First calculate the crossectional area (A) of the wire as follows;

A = πd² / 4      

[Take π = 3.142]

d = 0.00215m

∴ A = 3.142 x (0.00215)² / 4

∴ A = 0.000003631m²

Now, substitute the values of A, L, and R into equation (i) as follows;

R = ρL/A

0.0320 = ρ x 6.90 / 0.000003631

0.0320 = 1900302.95 x ρ

Solve for ρ;

=> ρ = 0.0320 / 1900302.95

=> ρ = 1.68 x 10⁻⁸Ωm

Therefore, the resistivity of the material of the wire is 1.68 x 10⁻⁸Ωm

Answer:

Solution

verified

Verified by Toppr

Given:

Mass of body = 30 kg

gravitational acceleration on the moon = 1.62 m/s

2

Weight of the body on the moon = Mass of the body×gravitational acceleration on the moon=30×1.62=48 N

A surgical microscope weighing 200 lb is hung from a ceiling by four springs with stiffness 25 lb/ft. The ceiling has a vibratio
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

If there is no damping, the amount of transmitted vibration that the microscope experienced is   = 5.676*10^{-3} \ mm

Explanation:

The motion of the ceiling is y = Y sinωt

y = 0.05 sin (2 π × 2) t

y = 0.05 sin 4 π t

K = 25 lb/ft  × 4  sorings

K = 100 lb/ft

Amplitude of the microscope  \frac{X}{Y}= [\frac{1+2 \epsilon (\omega/ W_n)^2}{(1-(\frac{\omega}{W_n})^2)^2+(2 \epsilon  \frac{\omega}{W_n})^2}]

where;

\epsilon = 0

W_n = \sqrt { \frac{k}{m}}

= \sqrt { \frac{100*32.2}{200}}

= 4.0124

replacing them into the above equation and making X the subject of the formula:

X = Y * \frac{1}{\sqrt{(1-(\frac{\omega}{W_n})^2)^2})}}

X = 0.05 * \frac{1}{\sqrt{(1-(\frac{4 \pi}{4.0124})^2)^2})}}

X = 5.676*10^{-3} \ mm

Therefore; If there is no damping, the amount of transmitted vibration that the microscope experienced is   = 5.676*10^{-3} \ mm

What direction does current flow from a battery in a series circuit?
telo118 [61]
What's now called "Conventional current" is thought of as the flow of positive charge, from the battery's positive terminal to its negative one.

But it turns out that positive charges don't flow. The physical flow of charge is the flow of electrons. They come out of the battery's negative terminal, and carry negative charge around the circuit to the battery's positive one.
