Two trains are approaching one another from opposite directions on parallel tracks. each train is 150 ft long, but one of the tr

ains is moving at 50 ft/sec, while the other is traveling at only 30 ft/sec. how many seconds elapse from the time the trains first begin to overlap to the time they have completely passed one another?

Time elapsed from the time the trains first begin to overlap to the time they have completely passed one another= 1.875 s

Explanation:

Relative velocity of two trains moving in opposite directions is given by

Vr= V1 + V2

V1= velocity of first train=50 ft/s

V2= Velocity of second train=30 ft/s

so Vr= 50+30= 80 ft/s

distance = d= 150 ft

so the time taken= distance/ relative velocity

t=150/80

t=1.875 s

What is a magnetic field’s shape?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Magnets come in a variety of shapes and one of the more common is the horseshoe (U) magnet. The horseshoe magnet has north and south poles just like a bar magnet but the magnet is curved so the poles lie in the same plane. The magnetic lines of force flow from pole to pole just like in the bar magnet.

Match each type of wave to the way it moves.
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Transverse wave- Back and forth at right angles to the direction of the wave arrow.

longitudinal wave- bask and forth in the direction of the motion of the motion of the wave.

electromagnetic wave- two alternating waves moving at right angles to each other.

Explanation:

In a longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate at right angles in reference to the wave motion.

In a transverse wave, the particles vibrate parallel to the wave motion

Electromagnetic waves occur as a result of the interaction between two  waves and are normally transverse in nature.

What is the escape speed of an electron launched from the surface of a 1.1-cm-diameter glass sphere that has been charged to 8.0
zimovet [89]
At surface,
v = kq/r

And potential energy of an electron is given by,
PE = -ev = -ekq/r

At escape velocity,
PE + KE = 0.
Therefore,
1/2mv^2 - ekq/r =0
1/2mv^2 = ekq/r
v = Sqrt [2ekq/mr], where v = escape velocity, e = 1.6*10^-19 C, k = 8.99*10^9 Nm^2/C^2, m = 9.11*10^-31 kg, r = 1.1*10^-2 m, q = 8*10^-9 C

Substituting;
v = Sqrt [(2*1.6*19^-19*8.99*10^9*8*10^-9)/(9.11*10^-31*1.1*10^-2)] = 47949357.23 m/s ≈ 4.795 *10^7 m/s
