<h3>Answer:  </h3><h3>speed of train A = 44 mph</h3>

=============================================

Work Shown:

x = speed of train A

y = speed of train B

"train A travels 4/5 the speed of train B" (I'm assuming "train one" is supposed to read "train B"). So this means x = (4/5)y

distance = rate*time

d = x*7

d = (4/5)y*7 = (28/5)y represents the distance train A travels

d = y*7 = 7y represents the distance train B travels

summing those distances will give us 693

(28/5)y + 7y = 693

5*(  (28/5)y + 7y ) = 5*693

28y + 35y = 3465

63y = 3465

y = 3465/63

y = 55

Train B's speed is 55 mph

4/5 of that is (4/5)y = (4/5)*55 = 4*11 = 44 mph

Train A's speed is 44 mph

A cherry falls from a tree branch that is 9 feet above the ground.
miss Akunina [59]
The cinematic equation is:
 h (t) = (1/2) * a * t ^ 2 + vo * t + h0
 Where,
 a: acceleration
 vo: initial speed
 h0: initial height
 Substituting values:
 h (t) = (1/2) * (- 32) * t ^ 2 + (0) * t + 9
 h (t) = - 16t ^ 2 + 9
 For t = 0.2 we have:
 h (0.2) = - 16 * (0.2) ^ 2 + 9
 h (0.2) = 8.36 feet
 To touch the ground we have:
 -16t ^ 2 + 9 = 0
 16t ^ 2 = 9
 t = root (9/16)
 t = 0.75 s
 Answer:
 
The height of the cherry after 0.2 seconds is:
 
h (0.2) = 8.36 feet
 
the cherry hits the ground at:
 
t = 0.75 s
