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.

Select all of the following that describes momentum, p [mark all correct answers]
Inga [223]

Answer:

c. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity

e. Momentum is a vector quantity

g. Momentum has unit of kgm/s

Explanation:

Linear momentum P

P = m .v

m =mass

v=Velocity

If mass take in kg and velocity is in m/s then momentum p will be in kg.m/s.

1. momentum is the product of velocity and mass.

2.Momentum is a vector quantity.

3.Momentum have kg.m/s unit.

So the following option are correct.

c. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity

e. Momentum is a vector quantity

g. Momentum has unit of kgm/s.

Note-

1.Joule is the unit of energy.

2.One-half the product of mass and the square of the object's speed is known as kinetic energy.

Two cars are travelling in the same direction on a road. The blue car is travelling at 50 m/s in front of the red car, which is
Anestetic [448]

Explanation:

The speed of the red car, relative to the blue car, is:

v = 75 m/s − 50 m/s

v = 25 m/s

During normal beating, a heart creates a maximum 3.95-mV potential across 0.305 m of a person’s chest, creating a 0.75-Hz electr
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

E = 0.0130 V/m.

Explanation:

The electric field is related to the potential difference as follows:

E = \frac{\Delta V}{d}

<u>Where:</u>

E: is electric field

ΔV: is the potential difference = 3.95 mV  

d: is the distance of a person's chest = 0.305 m

Then, the electric field is:

E = \frac{\Delta V}{d} = \frac{3.95 \cdot 10^{-3} V}{0.305 m} = 0.0130 V/m

Therefore, the maximum electric field created is 0.0130 V/m.

I hope it helps you!

A parallel-plate capacitor is made from two aluminum-foil sheets, each 3.0 cm wide and 5.00 m long. Between the sheets is a mica
Evgen [1.6K]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A parallel-plate capacitor is made from two aluminum-foil sheets, each 3.0 cm wide and 5.00 m long. Between the sheets is a mica strip of the same width and length that is 0.0225 mm thick. What is the maximum charge?

(The dielectric constant of mica is 5.4, and its dielectric strength is 1.00×10⁸ V/m)

Answer: the maximum charge q is 716.85 μF

Explanation:

Given data;

with = 3.0 cm = 0.03

breathe = 5.0 m

Area = 0.03 × 5 = 0.15 m²

dielectric strength E = 1.00 × 10⁸

∈₀ = 8.85 × 10⁻¹²

constant K = 5.4

maximum charge = ?

the capacitor C = KA∈₀ / d

q = cv so c = q/v

now

q/v = KA∈₀ / d

q =  vKA∈₀/d = EKA∈₀

we substitute

q = (1.00 × 10⁸) × 5.4 × 0.15 ×  8.85 × 10⁻¹²    

q = 716.85 × 10⁻⁶ F

q = 716.85 μF

the maximum charge q is 716.85 μF
