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>.

An object undergoes two successive displacements:
Gre4nikov [31]

The magnitude of the net displacement is 95.3 m

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the net displacement, we have to resolve each of the two displacements into the horizontal and vertical direction first.

1st displacement is:

d_1=79 m at 16.9^{\circ}

So its components are

d_{1x}=(79)(cos 16.9^{\circ})=75.6 m\\d_{1y}=(79)(sin 16.9^{\circ})=23.0 m

2nd displacement is:

d_2=16.7 m at 31.1^{\circ}

So its components are

d_{2x}=(16.7)(cos 31.1^{\circ})=14.3 m\\d_{2y}=(16.7)(sin 31.1^{\circ})=8.6 m

Therefore, the x- and y-components of the net displacement are:

d_x=d_{1x}+d_{2x}=75.6+14.3=89.9 m\\d_y=d_{1y}+d_{2y}=23.0+8.6=31.6 m

Therefore, the magnitude of the final displacement is:

d=\sqrt{d_x^2+d_y^2}=\sqrt{(89.9)^2+(31.6)^2}=95.3 m

Do you think most people follow the recommended guidelines for an adequate exercise routine?
blondinia [14]

Personally, I know that I don't however it all depends on the person's lifestyle, health, and resoucres, such as if they are able to complete the excersise or have enough money fore equpemnt. To be safe, I would say that the majority of people do follow the guidelines although they may manipulate it to fit their best interest.
