An automobile traveling 95 km/h overtakes a 1.30-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track parallel to the road.

If the train's speed is 75 km/h, how long does it take the car to pass it, and how far will the car have traveled in this time? See Fig. 2–36. What are the results if the car and train are traveling in opposite directions?

Answer:

Same direction: t=234s; d=6.175Km

Opposite direction: t=27.53s; d=0.73Km

Explanation:

If the automobile and the train are traveling in the same direction, then the automobile speed relative to the train will be v_{AT}=v_A-v_T (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a lower speed</em>), where v_A is the speed of the automobile and v_T the speed of the train.

So we have v_{AT}=(95km/h)-(75Km/h)=20Km/h.

So the train (<em>anyone in fact</em>) will watch the automobile trying to cover the lenght of the train L at that relative speed. The time required to do this will be:

t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{20Km/h} = 0.065h=234s

And in that time the car would have traveled (<em>relative to the ground</em>):

d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.065h)=6.175Km

If they are traveling in opposite directions, <u>we have to do all the same</u> but using v_{AT}=v_A+v_T (<em>the train must see the car advancing at a faster speed</em>), so repeating the process:

v_{AT}=(95km/h)+(75Km/h)=170Km/h

t = \frac{L}{v_{AT}} = \frac{1.3Km}{170Km/h} = 0.00765h=27.53s

d=v_At=(95Km/h)(0.00765h)=0.73Km

An undiscovered planet, many lightyears from Earth, has one moon in a periodic orbit. This moon takes 2010 × 103 seconds (about
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Radial acceleration of moon is a_{r} = 2.246\times 10^{-3}\frac{m}{s^{2} }

Explanation:

Given :

Time period T = 1.987 \times 10^{6} sec

Distance from center of moon to planet r = 225 \times 10^{6} m

From the equation of radial acceleration,

  a_{r} = r\omega ^{2}

Where \omega = 2\pi f = \frac{2\pi }{T}

So   \omega = 3.16 \times 10^{-6} \frac{rad}{s}

Now moon's radial acceleration,

 a_{r} = 225 \times 10^{6} \times (3.16 \times 10^{-6} )^{2}

 a_{r} = 2246.76 \times 10^{-6}

 a_{r} = 2.246\times 10^{-3} \frac{m}{s^{2} }

What is the relationship between electric field lines and equipotential surfaces?
Tems11 [23]
An equipotential surface is a three-dimensional version of equipotential lines. * *Equipotential lines are always perpendicular to electric field lines* . The process by which a conductor can be fixed at zero volts by connecting it to the earth with a good conductor is called grounding.

How can you determine the relative ages of the moon's maria and highlands? (select all that apply.)
Valentin [98]

The relative ages of the moon's maria and highlands can be determined through the following:

  • Radioactive dating
  • Crater density
  • Lava flows.

<h3>What is a Moon maria?</h3>

This is referred to as the early geologic units of the moon which arose from asteroid impact and subsequent volcanic activity.

The ages can be measured using techniques such as radioactive dating and crater density.
