Answer: the rate of speed for train A is 66 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of train B.

2 trains leave the station at the same time. Train A is traveling 16 miles per hour slower than train B. This means that the speed of train A would be x - 16 miles per hour.

The two trains are 720 miles apart after 4 hours. It means that both trains traveled a total distance of 720 miles in 4 hours.

Distance = speed × time

Distance travelled by train A after 4 hours is

4(x - 16) = 4x - 64

Distance travelled by train B after 4 hours is

4 × x = 4x

Since the total distance travelled by both trains is 720 miles, then

4x - 64 + 4x = 720

8x = 720 - 64 = 656

x = 656/8 = 82 miles per hour

The speed of train A would be

82 - 16 = 66 miles per hour.

Two identical masses are moving down a slope one masses traveling twice as fast as the other mass how does the kinetic energy of
GaryK [48]

Answer:

One mass's kinetic energy is 4 times the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where

KE is the kinetic energy

m is the mass

v is the velocity

  • Now, let mass of the first be m (second is identical so mass of 2nd is m as well)
  • Let velocity of the first one be v. Since 2nd one is travelling twice as fast, its velocity will be 2v

<u>KE of 1st mass is:</u>

\frac{1}{2}mv^2

<u />

<u>KE of 2nd mass is:</u>

\frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2\\=\frac{1}{2}m(4v^2)\\=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 * 4

Hence, the kinetic energy of the 2nd mass is 4 times the first.
