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.

Which accounts for an increase in the temperature of a gas that is kept a constant volume
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

An increase in pressure

Explanation:

The ideal gas law states that:

pV=nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

T is the temperature of the gas

in the equation, n and R are constant. For a gas kept at constant volume, V is constant as well. Therefore, from the formula we see that if the temperature (T) is increase, the pressure (p) must increase as well.

On a hot day, the deck of a small ship reaches a temperature of 48
AlekseyPX

The final temperature of the seawater-deck system is 990°C.

<h3>What is heat?</h3>

The increment in temperature adds up the thermal energy into the object. This energy is Heat energy.

The deck of a small ship reaches a temperature Ti= 48.17°C seawater on the deck to cool it down. During the cooling, heat Q =3,710,000 J are transferred to the seawater from the deck. Specific heat of seawater= 3,930 J/kg°C.

Suppose for 1 kg of sea water, the heat transferred from the system is given by

3,710,000 = 1 x 3,930 x (T - 48.17)

T = 990°C  to the nearest tenth.

The final temperature of the seawater-deck system is 990°C.

A burning candle is covered by a jar as shown in the picture. The whole arrangement has a mass of 500 g. What will be the approx
topjm [15]

Technically, I can't answer the question, because you won't
let me see the picture that goes along with it and is a part of it. 
But I'm familiar with the set-up, have dealt with the question before,
and I can answer it from my previous experience and general knowledge.

If there is 500g of mass inside the jar when you lower it over
the candle, then there will be 500g of mass at any time after that,
forever, or until you pick up the jar and take some mass out or put
some more in.  It doesn't matter how long you wait.  It also doesn't
matter whether or not the candle is burning, whether or not the sun
is shining on the jar, or whether somebody comes along and spray-paints
the outside of the jar with black paint.  Matter is not created or destroyed. 
Whatever mass was inside when the jar got closed stays in there.

Marta_Voda [28]

Explanation:

Liquids also exert pressure in all directions on the walls of the container they are stored in. We see water coming out from leaking pipes and taps. ... Gases (Air) also exert pressure in all directions
