A car and a motorcycle leave at noon from the same location, heading in the same direction. The average speed of the car is 30 m

ph slower than twice the speed of the motorcycle. In two hours, the car is 20 miles ahead of the motorcycle. Find the speed of both the car and the motorcycle, in miles per hour?

Answer:

Speed of motorcycle is 40 mph and speed of car is 50 mph

Explanation:

Let the peed f the motorcycle is v m /sec

According to question speed of motorcycle = 2v-30 mph

Now it is given that in two hours car is 20 miles ahead from motorcycle

Distance traveled by motorcycle in 2 hour = 2v

And distance traveled by car in two hour = 2×(2v-30)

Now according to question

2(2v-30)=2v+20

4v-60 = 2v+20

2v = 80

v = 40 mph

So speed of motorcycle is 40 mph

And speed of car = 2v-30 = 2×40-30 = 50 mph

An open train car moves with speed 18.5 m/s on a flat frictionless railroad track, with no engine pulling the car. It begins to
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The speed decreases.

Explanation:

This can be explained using the conservation of linear momentum.

Since there is no friction, the initial moment of the train must be equal to its linear moment after it is filled with water.

the initial linear momentum is

m_{1}v_{1}

where m_{1} is the initial mass of the train, and v_{1} the initial speed of the train.

And linear momentum after the water filled the train car is

m_{2}v_{2}

where m_{2} is mass of the train after the  rain, and v_{2} the speed of the train after the rain

<u>the equality must be fulfilled:</u>

m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}

We know that if water is added to the train, m_{2} that is the mass after the water is added, is greater than m_{1} which is the mass of the train without the water.

Therefore, in order for the conservation of the linear momentum to be fulfilled: m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}

the speed after the water is added (v_{2} ) must be smaller than the initial train speed (v_{1} ) . So the speed of the car decreases.

Why aren’t the Appalachian Mountains still as tall as the Himalayas?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

mountains are limited in their theoretical height by several processes. First is isostasy: the bigger a mountain gets, the more it weighs down its tectonic plate, so it sinks lower. ... Bottom line: mountains can get taller than Mount Everest in earth gravity, like the Appalachians probably did—but not much taller.

A stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. What is the spe
lana [24]

Answer: V = 15 m/s

Explanation:

As  stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. The observed frequency the car will be experiencing will be addition of the two frequency. That is,

F = 2.1 × 10^10 + 1030 = 2.100000103×10^10Hz

Using doppler effect formula

F = C/ ( C - V) × f

Where

F = observed frequency

f = source frequency

C = speed of light = 3×10^8

V = speed of the car

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

2.100000103×10^10 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 -V) × 2.1×10^10

2.100000103×10^10/2.1×10^10 = 3×108/(3×10^8 - V)

1.000000049 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 - V)

Cross multiply

300000014.7 - 1.000000049V = 3×10^8

Collect the like terms

1.000000049V = 14.71429

Make V the subject of formula

V = 14.71429/1.000000049

V = 14.7 m/s

The speed of the car is 15 m/s approximately

The output voltage of a power supply is normally distributed with mean 5 V and standard deviation 0.02 V. If the lower and upper
-BARSIC- [3]

To solve this problem we will apply the normal distribution, with which we will obtain the probability that the given event will occur. Concepts such as the mean and standard deviation will be present throughout the solution of the problem. Increasing or decreasing the average would change the location or center point of the curve. The change in the standard deviation would lead to the change in the dispersion of the data. As the standard deviation increases, the curve would become flatter.

Let X be the output voltage of power supply

X∼N (5,0.02^2)

A

The lower and upper specifications for voltage are 4.95 V and 5.05 V, respectively

P(4.95

P(4.95

P(4.95

P(4.95

P(4.95

Hence probability that a power supply selected at random will conform to the specifications on voltage is 0.9876
