Two trains are headed towards each other on the same track unbeknownst to the engineers. One departs San Francisco. Its average

speed is 55 miles per hour. The 2nd departs Seattle at the same time that the first one departs San Francisco. Its average speed is 65 miles per hour. The length of track separating the two locations is 860 miles. How many minutes (from departure time) before the two trains collide?

Answer:

7,166 hrs =430  minutes

Explanation:

Since both train are on the same track, going one towards the other, the relative speed is the addition of both, then the time they need to meet, and consistently crash, is the time that (65mph + 55 mph)=120mph need to travel the total distance of 860 miles, of course in this case one part is traveled by the first train and the rest by the other. Then to find the time we use a three rule

1 h --->120mi

X ---->860mi, then X=(860 mi* 1h)/120 mi = 43/6 hrs= 7,16666 hrs, turning this into minutes need that we notice 1h=60min, then 43/6 hrs *60 min/hrs = 430 minutes.

The magnitude of electrical force between a pair of charged particles is ____ as much when the particles are moved half as far a
Gnesinka [82]

The magnitude of the electrical force between a pair of charged particles is 4 Times as much when the particles are moved half as far apart.

This can be easily understood by Columb's law,

F_{new} = \frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2}}{r^{2}}

which state's that the amount of electrical force experienced by two charged particles is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

∴ \frac{F_{new} }{F_{old} } = \frac{Distance_{new}^{2}  }{Distance_{old}^{2}  }

Now, we know the new distance is half the original distance,

F_{new} = \frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2}}{\frac{r}{2}^{2} } \\F_{new} = 4\frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2}}{r^{2}}

F_{new} = 4F_{old}

The electrical force of attraction or electrostatic force of attraction between two charged particles refers to the amount of attractive or repulsive force that exists between the two charges. This can be calculated by Columb's Law.

A charged particle in physics is a particle that has an electric charge. It might be an ion, such as a molecule or atom having an excess or shortage of electrons in comparison to protons. The same charge is thought to be shared by an electron, a proton, or another primary particle.

Match the following moves to the correct total distance and displacement of the moves.
MAVERICK [17]
A. Move 2 m east and then 12 m east; displacement is 14 m east and the distance is 14 m
B. Move 10 m east and then 12 m west, the displacement is 2 m west and the distance is 22 m.
C. Move 8 m west and then 16 m east; the displacement is 8 m east and the distance is 24 m
D. Move 12 m west and then 8 m east; the displacement is 4 m and the distance is 20 m

does increasing the frequency of a wave also increase its wavelength if not how are these quantities related​
Aleks [24]

Answer: Increasing the frequency does not increase the wavelength. They are inversely related.

Explanation:

As wavelength increases, frequency decreases. If you look at a transverse wave and it has a long wavelength, there only a few waves produce. Which means there is less frequency produced. So as wavelength increases, frequency decreases. The other way around can work to. As frequency increases, wavelength decreases. They are inversely related.

A ball traveling at 15 m/s hits a bat with a force of 200N. How much force does the bat (moving at 20m/s)
just olya [345]

Answer:

200 N

Explanation:

Given that,

A ball traveling at 15 m/s hits a bat with a force of 200 N.

We need to find the force that the bat moving at 20 m/s hit the ball with.

We know that, this probelm is based on Newton's third law of motion. The force that the ball exerting on bat should be equal to the force that the bat exerting in the ball but in opposite direction.

It would mean that the ball hits the ball with a force of 200 N. Hence, the correct option is (a).
