Cars A and B travel along the same straight track. Car A is located at position s1 at clock reading t1 and it maintains a consta

nt speed of v1. Car B is located at position s2 < s1 at clock reading t2, and it maintains a constant speed of v2 > v1. Find an expression for the clock reading at which car B will overtake car A. Find also an expression for the position at which car B overtakes car A. Evaluate your expressions for the values s1 = 0.75 meters, t1 = 0.00 seconds, v1 = 0.38 m s−1 , s2 = 0.0 meters, t2 = 0.08 seconds, and v2 = 0.78 m s−1 .

Answer:

a) t=\frac{S1-V1*t1 - S2 + V2*t2}{V2-V1}

b) X = S2 - V2*t2 + V2*\frac{S1-V1*t1 - S2 + V2*t2}{V2-V1}

c) t = 2.031s      X = 1.52m

Explanation:

Let X1 be position of car A as a function of time and X2 be the position of car B as a function of time:

X1 = Xo1 + V1*t     If we evaluate this expression at t=t1

S1 = Xo1 + V1*t1    Solving for Xo1 we get its initial position at t=0:

Xo1 = S1 - V1*t1    

Similarly for car B:

Xo2 = S2 - V2*t2

Now, to find the instant when car B overtakes car A:

X1 = X2   Replacing their functions in time:

(S1 - V1*t1) + V1*t  = (S2 - V2*t2) + V2*t   Solving for t:

t=\frac{S1-V1*t1 - S2 + V2*t2}{V2-V1}   This is the instant when B reaches A

If we replace this expression in either X1 or X2 expression, we get that position:  X1 = X2

X1 = X2 = X = S2 - V2*t2 + V2*\frac{S1-V1*t1 - S2 + V2*t2}{V2-V1}

If we evaluate these two expressions with the given values:

t = 2.031s  and   X = 1.52m

olga55 [171]
The solid, liquid and gas phases of water would have the same structure of the molecules since they are same substance. The only difference would be the distances of the molecules in the container. For a ice, the molecules are close to each other where the molecules vibrate only in place. For liquid, the molecules are freely moving and are at some distance with each other but not that far away with each other. Steam, on the other hand, would have molecules that are very far from each other and are freely moving in the whole container. As the container is heated, the size of the molecules would not change. It is only the volume that has changed. Also, the mass is the same since there is no outflow of the substances.

Earth's original atmosphere was probably just hydrogen and helium, because these were the main gases in the dusty, gassy disk around the Sun from which the planets formed. The Earth and its atmosphere were very hot.

Which quantities appear in the equation for the magnetic field component of an electromagnetic wave?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The speed of light (c)

Explanation:

The equation that relates the magnetic field component of an electromagnetic wave the the electric field component of the wave is:

E=cB

where

E is the magnitude of the electric field component

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field component

c is the speed of light in a vacuum, whose value is

c=3.0 \cdot 10^8 m/s

Re-arranging the equation to solve for B, we find:

B=\frac{E}{c}
