Runner A is initially 5.7 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 8.9 km/h due east. Runner B is initia

lly 4.5 km east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 7.0 km/h due west. How far are the runners from the flagpole when their paths cross? Answer in units of km.

Answer:

B meet A 0.01 km east of flagpole

Explanation:

given data

distance A = 5.7 km  west

velocity V1 = 8.9 km/h

distance B = 4.5 km  east

velocity V2 = 7 km/h

to find out

How far runners from the flagpole, when paths cross

solution

we know A and B are 5.7 + 4.5 = 10.2 km apart

and we consider here B will run distance x km for meet

so time will be for B is

time B = distance / velocity

time B = x / 7     ...................1

and

for A distance for meet = ( 10.2 - x ) km

so time A = distance / velocity

time A = ( 10.2 - x )  / 8.9      .............2

now equating equation 1 and 2

time A = time B

x / 7  =   ( 10.2 - x )  / 8.9

x = 4.490

so distance of B run for meet is 4.490 km

so distance from the flagpole when their paths cross is 4.5 - 4.490 = 0.01 km

so B meet A 0.01 km east of flagpole

What causes a objects to move or stay still? claim and evidence
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

A force

Explanation:

A push or a pull is an example of a force and can cause an object to speed up, slow down, etc..  Newton's laws tell us that 1- an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it 2- the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. 3- The third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.. However, forces like gravity and friction can resist movement.

The volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its
Leni [432]

Answer: Charles's law

Explanation:

Charles's law is one of the gas laws, and it explains the effect of temperature changes on the volume of a given mass of gas at a constant pressure. Usually, the volume of a gas decreases as the temperature decreases and increases as the temperature also increases.

Mathematically, Charles's law can be expressed as:

V ∝ T

V = kT or (V/T) = k

where v is volume, T is temperature in Kelvin, and a k is a constant.

1) Archeologists have found fossil remains of some of the first land
dimaraw [331]

Answer: Carbon 14 and Uranium 238 are not used together to determine fossil ages.

Explanation:

Carbon 14 with a half life of 5,700 years can only be used to date fossils of approximately 50,000 years. Most fossils are thought to be much older than 50,000 years. Also most fossils no longer contain any Carbon. The fossilized remains have been mineralized where the original organic material has been replaced and turned into stones containing no carbon.

Uranium 238 has a half life of 4.5 billion years. Uranium can be used to date the age of the earth. If 50% of pure uranium' is left in a sample the sample is assumed to be 4.5 billion years old.( This is assuming that the original sample was 100% uranium and no Uranium 238 has been eroded or lost in 4.5 billion years old. If a fossil has only 25 % of the Uranium 238 the sample has an estimated age of 3.2 Billion years. This would be the estimated age of the earliest life or formation of fossils.

Note no fossils contain Uranium 238. Uranium 238 is only found in igneous or volcanic rocks. So no fossils can be dated directly using U 238.

Because of the huge differences in the half lives of Carbon 14 and Uranium238 they cannot be used together. Carbon 14 can only be used to date fossils of a very recent age. Uranium 238 can only be used to date volcanic rocks of a very old age.
