<h2>After 1 hour they meet.</h2>

Explanation:

Distance between them = 6 miles

Speed of uphill person = 2.5 miles per hour

Speed of downhill person = 3.5 miles per hour

Relative velocity = 2.5 - ( -3.5 ) = 6 miles per hour

We know

         Displacement = Velocity x Time

         6 = 6 x Time taken

Time taken = 1 hour

After 1 hour they meet.

if the volume of a scuba tank filled with air remains constant and its temperature goes down, what happens to its pressure?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Decreases

Explanation:

Ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P is absolute pressure,

V is volume,

n is number of moles,

R is gas constant,

and T is absolute temperature.

If V is constant and T decreases, then P must decrease.

The speed of a box traveling on a horizontal friction surface changes from vi = 13 m/s to vf = 11.5 m/s in a distance of d = 8.5
KiRa [710]

Answer:

0.68 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity of box=u=13m/s

Final velocity of box=v=11.5 m/s

Distance=d=8.5 m

We have to find the time taken by box to slow by this amount.

We know that

v^2-u^2=2as

Substitute the values

(11.5)^2-(13)^2=2a(8.5)

132.25-169=17a

-36.75=17a

a=\frac{-36.75}{17}=-2.2m/s^2

We know that

Acceleration=a=\frac{v-u}{t}

Substitute the values

-2.2=\frac{11.5-13}{t}

-2.2=\frac{-1.5}{t}

t=\frac{1.5}{2.2}=0.68 s

Hence, the time taken by box to slow by this amount=0.68 s

_____ is the transfer of thermal energy between two bodies which are at different temperatures. The si unit for this is the joul
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Heat

Explanation:

The thermal energy is usually defined as a heat energy that occurs due to the increase in temperature. Due to this increasing temperature, the atoms, as well as the molecules, start to migrate at a much faster rate and rapid collisions occur with one another.

This temperature change that is involved in this process can be measured.

Thus, in thermal energy, heat (heat energy) is transferred from one body to another at different distinct temperatures.

The SI unit of heat is Joule.
