Answer: James Clerk Maxwell

Explanation:

James Clerk Maxwell was the scientific who presented for the first time, electricity, magnetism and light as <u>different manifestations of the same phenomenon</u>. In fact, for this unification considered a scientific milestone in its time (between the 1860s and 1870s), Maxwell is recognized as one of the greatest scientists of the nineteenth century.

Maxwell, who was Scottish, realized that electric fields and magnetic fields can join together to form electromagnetic waves (which in turn had connection to light). So, he summed up this relationship between electricity and magnetism to develop his theory in four equations that now are known as <em>"Maxwell's Equations".</em>

Two cars A and B are 100m apart moving towards each other with
maxonik [38]

Let car A's starting position be the origin, so that its position at time <em>t</em> is

A: <em>x</em> = (40 m/s) <em>t</em>

and car B has position at time <em>t</em> of

B: <em>x</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>

<em />

They meet when their positions are equal:

(40 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>

(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m

<em>t</em> = (100 m) / (100 m/s) = 1 s

so the cars meet 1 second after they start moving.

They are 100 m apart when the difference in their positions is equal to 100 m:

(40 m/s) <em>t</em> - (100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>) = 100 m

(subtract car B's position from car A's position because we take car A's direction to be positive)

(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 200 m

<em>t</em> = (200 m) / (100 m/s) = 2 s

so the cars are 100 m apart after 2 seconds.
