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

Two balls have their centers 2.0 m apart. One ball has a mass of m1 = 7.9 kg. The other has a mass of m2 = 6.1 kg. What is the g
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

3.036×10⁻¹⁰ N

Explanation:

From newton's law of universal gravitation,

F = Gm1m2/r² .............................. Equation 1

Where F = Gravitational force between the balls, m1 = mass of the first ball, m2 = mass of the second ball, r = distance between their centers.

G = gravitational constant

Given: m1 = 7.9 kg, m2 = 6.1 kg, r = 2.0 m, G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/C²

Substituting into equation 1

F = 6.67×10⁻¹¹×7.9×6.1/2²

F = 321.427×10⁻¹¹/4

F = 30.36×10⁻¹¹

F = 3.036×10⁻¹⁰ N

Hence the force between the balls = 3.036×10⁻¹⁰ N
