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.

Three cars, car x, car y, and car z, begin accelerating from rest, at the same time. car x is more massive than car y, which is
grigory [225]

When the net force exerted on each car is identical. after 10 seconds, the amount of momentum is same for all cars.

<h3>What is impulse?</h3>

The change in momentum is equal to the product of impact force applied while colliding and time for that impact.

F. t = m (Vf -Vi)

where, Vf is the final velocity and Vi is the initial velocity.

For car X, Fx x t = Mx Vx

For car Y, Fy x t = My Vy

For car Z, Fz x t = Mz Vz

The force applied is same for all and the the time is also same equal to 10 seconds. The impulse is same for all the cars.

Thus, the three cars have same momentum.

Gaseous helium is in thermal equilibrium with liquid helium at 6.4 K. The mass of a helium atom is 6.65 × 10−27 kg and Boltzmann
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

162.78 m/s is the most probable speed of a helium atom.

Explanation:

The most probable speed:

v_{mp}=\sqrt{\frac{2K_bT}{m}}

K_b= Boltzmann’s constant =1.38066\times 10^{-23} J/K

T = temperature of the gas

m = mass of the gas particle.

Given, m = 6.65\times 10^{-27} kg

T = 6.4 K

Substituting all the given values :

v_{mp}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.38066\times 10^{-23} J/K\times 6.4 K}{6.65\times 10^{-27} kg}}

v_{mp}=162.78 m/s

162.78 m/s is the most probable speed of a helium atom.
