Answer:
t = 0.33h = 1200s
x = 18.33 km
Explanation:
If the origin of coordinates is at the second car, you can write the following equations for both cars:
car 1:
(1)
xo = 10 km
v1 = 55km/h
car 2:
(2)
v2 = 85km/h
For a specific value of time t the positions of both cars are equal, that is, x=x'. You equal equations (1) and (2) and solve for t:
The position in which both cars coincides is:
Answer:
D) 11 m/s
Explanation:
The problem asks us to calculate the velocity of the hot dog with respect to the observer stationary outside the train. This velocity is given by:
where
is the velocity of the train (towards right)
is the velocity of the man (towards right)
is the velocity of the hot-dog (towards left, so we put a negative sign)
Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find
and the positive sign means the velocity is toward right.
