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.

flipper (the dolphin) is out in the open ocean hunting tuna avec. he emits his pulse at 22khz and .42 seconds later he hears it

marusya05 [52]

First we need to find the speed of the dolphin sound wave in the water. We can use the following relationship between frequency and wavelength of a wave:
$v=\lambda f$
where
v is the wave speed
$\lambda$ its wavelength
f its frequency
Using $\lambda = 2 cm = 0.02 m$ and $f=22 kHz = 22000 Hz$ , we get
$v=(0.02 m)(22000 Hz)=440 m/s$

We know that the dolphin sound wave takes t=0.42 s to travel to the tuna and back to the dolphin. If we call L the distance between the tuna and the dolphin, the sound wave covers a distance of S=2 L in a time t=0.42 s, so we can write the basic relationship between space, time and velocity for a uniform motion as:
$v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{2L}{t}$
and since we know both v and t, we can find the distance L between the dolphin and the tuna:
$L= \frac{vt}{2}= \frac{(440 m/s)(0.42 s)}{2}=92.4 m$

hammer [34]

Answer:

1201 lbs

Explanation:

Given that in mammals, the weight of the heart is approximately 0.5% of the total body weight.

Let the weight of the heart of a mammal be H

And the weight of the total body be B

The linear model that can gives the heart weight in terms of the total body weight will be:

H = 0.005B

B.) To find the weight of the heart of a whale whose weight is 2.402 × 105 lbs, substitute the whole weight in the formula.

H = 0.005 × 2.402 × 10^5

H = 1201 lbs

Therefore, the weight of the heart of the whale is 1201 lbs

inysia [295]

Answer:

The metric system is the official system for all nations of the world.

Explanation:

To make measures, it is necessary to have a set of standardized magnitudes to compare things we want to measure. This set of standardized magnitudes is called a unit system.

The metric system is a decimalized system of measurement which has meters and grams as a basic measurement unit. The metric system is the most used in the world, and also, is the official system for all nations of the world.
