Let the first car's average speed be x

The second car's speed would be x+5

2(x+(x+5))=210

2x+5=105

2x=100

x=50

So the speed of the slower car is 50mph, and the speed of the faster car is 55mph

I think the answer is 50 and 55 but to check that u can multiply both of them by two and then add them together and see if it = 210

Until a train is a safe distance from the station, it must travel at 5 m/s. Once the train is on open track, it can speec
nadezda [96]

Answer:

The acceleration of the train is 5 m/s².

Explanation:

Given:

let the initial velocity of a train = 5 m/s and

final velocity of a train = 45 m/s

time taken = 8 s

To find:

acceleration: ?

Solution:

We define acceleration as change in velocity per unit time that is the difference between the final velocity and initial velocity divided by time.

Acceleration = \frac{\textrm{final velocity} - \textrm{initial velocity}}{time} \\

On substituting the above values we get the required acceleration

Acceleration = \frac{45 - 5}{8}\\ =\frac{40}{8}\\ =5\ m/s^{2}

Therefore,the acceleration of the train is 5 m/s².
