Two metra trains approach each other on separate but parallel tracks. one has a speed of 90 km/hr, the other 80 km/hr. initially

, the two trains are 2.71 km apart. how long will it take the two trains to pass each other?

The trains take <u>57.4 s</u> to pass each other.

Two trains A and B move towards each other. Let A move along the positive x axis and B along the negative x axis.

therefore,

v_A=90 km/h\\ v_B=-80 km/h

The relative velocity of the train A with respect to B is given by,

v_A_B=v_A-v_B\\ =(90km/h)-(-80km/h)\\ =170km/h

If the train B is assumed to be at rest, the train A would appear to move towards it with a speed of 170 km/h.

The trains are a distance d = 2.71 km apart.

Since speed is the distance traveled per unit time, the time taken by the trains to cross each other is given by,

t= \frac{d}{v_A_B}

Substitute 2.71 km for d and 170 km/h for v_A_B

t= \frac{d}{v_A_B}\\ =\frac{2.71 km}{170 km/h} \\ =0.01594 h

Express the time in seconds.

t=(0.01594h)(3600s/h)=57.39s

Thus, the trains cross each other in <u>57.4 s</u>.

What is the meaning of the saying "the power of a lens is 1 dioptre "​
timama [110]

Answer: 1 dioptre of power of a lens is defined as the unit of measuring the power of optical lens Or curved mirror which is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length. The focal length is measured in the meter. 1 dioptre is equal to 1/m where m is the focal length. Basically dioptre is the SI unit of optical power of the lens.

An archer puts a 0.30-kg arrow to the bowstring. An average force of 201 N is exerted to draw the string back 1.3 m. Assuming th
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

41.74 m/s

Explanation:

The energy used to draw the bowstring = the kinetic energy of the arrow.

Fd = 1/2mv²................................ Equation 1

Where F = force, d = distance move string, m = mass of the arrow, v = speed of the arrow.

make v the subject of the equation

v = √(2Fd/m)...................... Equation 2

Given: F = 201 N, m = 0.3 kg, d = 1.3 m.

Substitute into equation 2

v = √(2×201×1.3/0.3)

v = √(1742)

v = 41.74 m/s.

Hence the arrow leave the bow with a speed of 41.74 m/s

Arada [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

T = 2π √ (m/k)

T / 2π = √ (m/k)

T√k = 2π √m

(T√k) / 2π = √m

( (T√k) / 2π)^2 = m

m = ( (7.5√82.5) / 2π)^2

m = 117.66 Kg

Why are the wires twisted around each other in twisted pair cable?
Goryan [66]

The wires are twisted around each other in a twisted pair cable for the purpose of blocking off any external electromagnetic interference.

A twisted-pair cable is a form of cable system used for telecom services as well as most current wired networks. Twisted pairs are composed of two insulated copper wires that are been twisted together. The circuit is formed by a twisted pair of wires that may carry data. These pairs are twisted to prevent interference or noise caused by neighboring pairs.
