An automobile traveling 95 km/h overtakes a 1.30-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track parallel to the road.

If the train's speed is 75 km/h. What are the distance travelled by the car in opposite direction?

Answer: 6.175 km

Explanation:

from the question, we have the following

velocity of the automobile = 95 km/g

velocity of the train = 75 km/h

length of the train = 1.30 km

since the automobile and the train are moving in the same direction, we need to find the velocity of the car relative to the train which will be their difference in speed = 95 - 75 = 20 km/h

we need to find the time it takes the automobile to overtake the train using the formula time = distance / speed , with the distance being the length of the train.

time (t) = 1.3 / 20

= 0.065 hour

now we can find the distance traveled by the automobile using the the time taken for it to overtake the train and the speed of the automobile.

therefore, distance = speed x time

     distance = 95 x 0.065 =6.175 km

Burka [1]

Explanation:

Let acceleration due to Gravity for a planet is given by:

g_X=GM/R^2

Here,g_X = 2g

Escape velocity is given by:

v =\sqrt{ \frac{2GM} {R}} = \sqrt{2aR}

Here, R=R_earth/2

and g_X = 2g

Therefore,v=\sqrt(2(2g)(R/2))=v_0

At a fixed depth within a fluid at rest, the pressure pushing upward is
earnstyle [38]

Answer: E) A) salt water.

Explanation:

E) In equilibrium, pressure exerts equally in all directions, so for a given depth, the pressure is the same for all points located at the same depth, and it can be written as follows:

p = p₀ + ρ.g.h, where p₀ = atmospheric pressure, ρ=fluid density, h=depth from the surface.

A) The buoyant force, as discovered by Archimedes, is an upward force, that opposes to the weight of an object (as it is always downward), and is equal to the weight of the volume of the liquid that the object removes, which means that is proportional to the density of the liquid.

As salt water is denser than fresh water, the buoyant force exerted by the salt water is always greater than the one produced by the fresh water, so objects will float more easily in salt water than in fresh water.

In the limit, it is possible that one object float in salt water and sink in fresh water.

A soccer ball takes 20 s to roll 10 m. What is the average speed of the soccer ball.
Georgia [21]

Explanation:

velocity is distance divided by time.

so

the average speed of the ball is 10m/20s

= 0.5 m/s

In an electron cloud, an electron farther east away from the nucleus has?
vladimir2022 [97]

An electron that is far away from the nucleus have higher energy than an electron near the nucleus. Nucleus are positively charged and those electrons near it get attracted; those electrons gain kinetic energy hence reducing their internal energy. The electrons far from nucleus have low kinetic energy hence more internal energy.
