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 particle with mass 1.81*10^-3kg and a charge of 1.22*10^-8C has, at a given instant, a velocity v= (3.0*10^4 m/s)j.
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

a = -0.33 m/s² k^

Direction: negative

Explanation:

From Newton's law of motion, we know that;

F = ma

Now, from magnetic fields, we know that;. F = qVB

Thus;

ma = qVB

Where;

m is mass

a is acceleration

q is charge

V is velocity

B is magnetic field

We are given;

m = 1.81 × 10^(−3) kg

q = 1.22 × 10 ^(−8) C

V = (3.00 × 10⁴ m/s) ȷ^.

B = (1.63T) ı^ + (0.980T) ȷ^

Thus, since we are looking for acceleration, from, ma = qVB; let's make a the subject;

a = qVB/m

a = [(1.22 × 10 ^(−8)) × (3.00 × 10⁴)ȷ^ × ((1.63T) ı^ + (0.980T) ȷ^)]/(1.81 × 10^(−3))

From vector multiplication, ȷ^ × ȷ^ = 0 and ȷ^ × i^ = -k^

Thus;

a = -0.33 m/s² k^
