Answer:

v = 1.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 72 m

Time taken, t = 45 s

We need to find their average velocity. Average velocity of an object is given by total distance divided by total time taken.

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{72\ m}{45\ s}\\\\v=1.6\ m/s

So, their average velocity is 1.6 m/s.

Two metra trains approach each other on separate but parallel tracks. one has a speed of 90 km/hr, the other 80 km/hr. initially
Gennadij [26K]

The trains take <u>57.4 s</u> to pass each other.

Two trains A and B move towards each other. Let A move along the positive x axis and B along the negative x axis.

therefore,

v_A=90 km/h\\ v_B=-80 km/h

The relative velocity of the train A with respect to B is given by,

v_A_B=v_A-v_B\\ =(90km/h)-(-80km/h)\\ =170km/h

If the train B is assumed to be at rest, the train A would appear to move towards it with a speed of 170 km/h.

The trains are a distance d = 2.71 km apart.

Since speed is the distance traveled per unit time, the time taken by the trains to cross each other is given by,

t= \frac{d}{v_A_B}

Substitute 2.71 km for d and 170 km/h for v_A_B

t= \frac{d}{v_A_B}\\ =\frac{2.71 km}{170 km/h} \\ =0.01594 h

Express the time in seconds.

t=(0.01594h)(3600s/h)=57.39s

Thus, the trains cross each other in <u>57.4 s</u>.

The electronics supply company where you work has two different resistors, R1 and R2, in its inventory, and you must measure the
elixir [45]

Answer:

R₁ = 23.77 ohms and R₂ = 7.92 ohms

Explanation:

When connected in series, the equivalence resistance, R(eq) is given as

R(eq) = (R₁ + R₂)

When connected in parallel, the equivalence resistance, R(eq) is given as

[1/R(eq)] = [(1/R₁) + (1/R₂)]

R(eq) = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂)

The parallel and series combination are connected to a battery of emf 39.0 V with negligible internal resistance. And the power supplied is measured.

But power supplied is given as

P = IV = (V/R) V = (V²/R)

When connected in series, the power supplied is given as

P = 48.0 W,

V = 39.0 V,

R = R(eq) = (R₁ + R₂)

48 = (39²/R)

R = (39²/48)

R = 31.6875 ohms

R = (R₁ + R₂) = 31.6875

(R₁ + R₂) = 31.6875 (eqn 1)

When connected in series, the power supplied is given as

P = 256.0 W,

V = 39.0 V,

R = R(eq) = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂)

256 = (39²/R)

R = (39²/256)

R = 5.9414 ohms

R = R(eq) = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 5.9414

(R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 5.9414

But, recall eqn 1

(R₁ + R₂) = 31.6875

(R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 5.9414

Substituting for (R₁ + R₂)

(R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = (R₁R₂)/31.6875 = 5.9414

(R₁R₂) = 31.6875 × 5.9414 = 188.2683

R₁ = (188.2683/R₂)

(R₁ + R₂) = 31.6875

Substituting for R₁

(188.2683/R₂) + R₂ = 31.6875

multiply through by R₂

188.2683 + R₂² = 31.6875R₂

R₂² - 31.6875R₂ + 188.2683 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation

R₂ = 23.77 ohms or 7.92 ohms

If R₂ = 23.77 ohms, R₁ = 7.92 ohms

If R₂ = 7.92 ohms, R₁ = 23.77 ohms

Since the question explains that R₁ > R₂

R₁ = 23.77 ohms and R₂ = 7.92 ohms

Hope this Helps!!!
