Answer:

Collision will occur.

Speed of red train when they collide = 0 m/s.

Speed of green train when they collide = 10 m/s.

Explanation:

Speed of red train = 72 km/h = 20 m/s

Speed of green train = 144 km/h = 40 m/s.

Deceleration of trains = 1 m/s²

For red train:-

Equation of motion v = u + at

u = 20 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -1 m/s²

Substituting

0 = 20 - 1 x t

t = 20 s.

Equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

u = 20 m/s

t = 20 s

a = -1 m/s²

Substituting

s = 20 x 20 - 0.5 x 1 x 20² = 200 m

So red train travel 200 m before coming to stop.

For green train:-

Equation of motion v = u + at

u = 40 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -1 m/s²

Substituting

0 = 40 - 1 x t

t = 40 s.

Equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

u = 40 m/s

t = 40 s

a = -1 m/s²

Substituting

s = 40 x 40 - 0.5 x 1 x 40² = 800 m

So green train travel 800 m before coming to stop.

Total distance traveled = 800 + 200 = 1000 m>950 m.

So both trains collide.

Distance traveled by green train when red train stops(t=20s)

Equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

u = 40 m/s

t = 20 s

a = -1 m/s²

Substituting

s = 40 x 20 - 0.5 x 1 x 20² = 600 m

Total distance after 20 s = 600 + 200 = 800 m< 950m . So they collide after red train stops.

Speed of red train when they collide = 0 m/s.

Distance traveled by green train when they collide = 950 - 200 = 750 m

Equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

u = 40 m/s

s= 750 m

a = -1 m/s²

Substituting

v² = 40² - 2 x 1 x 750 = 100

v = 10 m/s

Speed of green train when they collide = 10 m/s.

Which of the following statements is true? (A) The measured value for the pressure of a gas in a container is almost independent

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

Both A and B are true

Explanation:

The particles of a gas are free to move to occupy the entire volume in which they are placed due to the smallerinter molecular forces holding them together hence due to the face that pressure is a measure of the Force per unit area that is Pressure P = ( Force F)/ (Area A) then the force per unit area, exerted on the all of the container by the gaseous particles which are colliding with each other and with the walss of the container is fairly constant through out the surface oof the container

In the case of the liquid which are held on together by more stronger forces, the force per nit area exerted by the liquid particle is transmitted from one particle to the next until it reaches the container's surface. Then remembering that the force of gravity on the liquid is acting in one direction (that is downwards) the sum of the fprce due to the weight incrreases as we progress deaper into the liquid hence the pressure increases per unit depth

Participating in __________ can improve flexibility.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: Participating in all of the above can improve flexibility.

Explanation:

A practice that helps in improving or developing inherent power in order to bring peace and harmony to the body of a person is called yoga.

Yoga includes different postures that also help in providing flexibility to the body.

Pilates is another method of providing muscular strength and low impact flexibility to a human body.

Swimming also a good exercise that provides flexibility.

Thus, we can conclude that participating in all of the above can improve flexibility.
