3. Two Metra trains approach each other on separate but parallel tracks. Train A has a speed of 90 km/ hr, train B has a speed o

f 80 km/ hr. Initially, the two trains are 2.71 km apart. How long will it take the two trains to meet?
a. Write two complete equations that describe the position of: Train A:
Train B:
c. At what exact time will train A and train B be at the same position?
d. At what position is train A when it meets train B?
e. How far has train B travelled in this time?

Answer:he trains take 57.4 s to pass each other.

Two trains A and B move towards each other. Let A move along the positive x axis and B along the negative x axis.

therefore,

The relative velocity of the train A with respect to B is given by,

If the train B is assumed to be at rest, the train A would appear to move towards it with a speed of 170 km/h.

The trains are a distance d = 2.71 km apart.

Since speed is the distance traveled per unit time, the time taken by the trains to cross each other is given by,

Substitute 2.71 km for d and 170 km/h for

Express the time in seconds.

Thus, the trains cross each other in 57.4 s.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

(a) 42 N

(b)36.7 N

Explanation:

Nomenclature

F= force test line (N)

W : fish weight  (N)

Problem development

(a) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled in at constant speed

We apply Newton's first law of equlibrio because the system moves at constant speed:

∑Fy =0

F-W= 0

42N -W =0  

W = 42N

(b) Calculating of weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled with an acceleration whose magnitude is 1.41 m/s²

We apply Newton's second law because the system moves at constant acceleration:

 m= W/g , m= W/9.8 ,  m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity

∑Fy =m*a

m= W/g , m= W/9.8 ,  m:fish mass , W: fish weight g:acceleration due to gravity

F-W= ( W/9.8 )*a

42-W=  ( W/9.8 )*1.41

42= W+0.1439W

42=1.1439W

W= 42/1.1439

W= 36.7  N

Explain in two or three sentences how we can know what an object is made out of by looking at the light it gives off?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The act of 'seeing' an object is the result of light from any luminous source e.g. the Sun, a glowing candle or a torch, radiating outwardly from the source until it strikes the object and is reflected to travel to the observer's eyes where if it retains sufficient intensity it will form an image on the retina. i hope this helps

Find a glass jar with a screw-top metal lid. Close the lid snugly and put the jar into the refrigerator. Leave it there for abou
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The lid becomes tighter

It becomes tighter because metals have a lower heat capacity than glass meaning their temperature drops (or increases) much faster than glass for the same energy change. So in this example, the metal will contract faster than the glass causing it to be more tighter around the glass.

To open a soda can lid, you can apply a force of 50 N to a car key wedged under
AysviL [449]

Answer:

7.8

Explanation:

Here, an effort of 50 N is applied at the car key and overcomes the resistance(or load) of 390 N at the lid.

mechanical advantage

=load/effort

=390 N/50 N

=7.8
