A cattle train left Miami and traveled toward New York. 14 hours later a diesel train left traveling at 45 km/h in an effort to

catch up to the cattle train. After traveling for four hours the diesel train finally caught up. What was the cattle train's average speed?

Answer:

The cattle train´s average speed was 10 km/h.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The traveled distance of the trains can be calculated using this equation:

d = v · t

Where:

d = traveled distance.

v = velocity of the train.

t = time.

The diesel train travels 4 hours at 45 km/h, then, the traveled distance will be:

d = 45 km/h · 4 h = 180 km

Because the diesel train catches the cattle train after traveling 180 km, this will also be the distance traveled by the cattle train. But it took the cattle train (14 h + 4 h) 18 hours to travel that distance. Then, using the equation of distance:

d = v · t

180 km = v · 18 h

180 km/ 18 h = v

10 km /h = v

The cattle train´s average speed was 10 km/h

Have a nice day!

Answer:

The force is calculated as 338.66 N

Explanation:

We know that force is given by

\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{d\overrightarrow{p}}{dt}=\frac{m(v_{f}-v_{o})}{\Delta t}

We know that range of a projectile is given by

R=\frac{v_{o}^{2}sin(2\theta )}{g}

it is given that R=130 m applying values in the above equation we get

R=\frac{v_{o}^{2}sin(2\theta )}{g}\\\\v_{0}=\sqrt{\frac{Rg}{sin(2\theta )}}\\\\\therefore v_{o}=\sqrt{\frac{130\times 9.81}{sin(2\times 50.5_{o}} )}\\\\v_{o}=36.04m/s

Thus the force is obtained as

\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{d\overrightarrow{p}}{dt}=\frac{59.2\times 10^{}-3(36.04-0)}{6.3\times 10^{-3}}

Thus force equals F=338.66N

Please help with problem it is much appreciated
Ray Of Light [21]

a. linear pairs, when added together, the angles will make 180 degrees, or a straight line. In this case No, for when you combine the two angles, it is not a straight line

b. False. Vertical angles make two opposite angles that are congruent

c. True. When added together, angles 1 and 4 make a straight line

d. False. As stated for question b, the two opposite angles must be congruent

hope this helps
