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.

liraira [26]

Answer:

1) λ < 2d,  2)  nfrared imaging technique, 3) each color there is a different index of refraction

Explanation:

We are going to answer the three questions

1) When x-rays pass through matter in order to be dispersed, their wavelength must be of the order of the length of separation in the atoms and molecules of the body, in solid bones this length is similar and they scatter and reflect the x-rays therefore they can be observed, the fat and the soft tissue have a much greater separation therefore the x-rays cannot be reflected and consequently it is not observable by this technique.

2) At airports they use the infrared imaging technique, where the image is taken for the infrared wavelength, which is the heat part of the electromagnetic spectrum; consequently, when the image is viewed, the hottest areas appear brighter and, since when a person has a virus, his temperature rises, his temperature rises, it is possible to observe people with a higher temperature.

3) when white light hits a prism it is refracted with the equation

            n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where the incidence of refraction depends on the wavelength, therefore for each color there is a different index of refraction and consequently the light is separated in its different colors.
