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.

A ball is thrown straight up from the edge of the roof of a building. A second ball is dropped from the roof a time of 1.03 s la
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

h=53.09m         (2)

v_{min}>5.05m/s

v_{max}

Explanation:

<u>a)Kinematics equation for the first ball:</u>

v(t)=v_{o}-g*t

y(t)=y_{o}+v_{o}t-1/2*g*t^{2}

y_{o}=h       initial position is the building height

v_{o}=8.9m/s      

The ball reaches the ground, y=0, at t=t1:

0=h+v_{o}t_{1}-1/2*g*t_{1}^{2}

h=1/2*g*t_{1}^{2}-v_{o}t_{1}           (1)

Kinematics equation for the second ball:

v(t)=v_{o}-g*t

y(t)=y_{o}+v_{o}t-1/2*g*t^{2}

y_{o}=h       initial position is the building height

v_{o}=0       the ball is dropped

The ball reaches the ground, y=0, at t=t2:

0=h-1/2*g*t_{2}^{2}

h=1/2*g*t_{2}^{2}         (2)

the second ball is dropped a time of 1.03s later than the first ball:

t2=t1-1.03              (3)

We solve the equations (1) (2) (3):

1/2*g*t_{1}^{2}-v_{o}t_{1}=1/2*g*t_{2}^{2}=1/2*g*(t_{1}-1.03)^{2}

g*t_{1}^{2}-2v_{o}t_{1}=g*(t_{1}^{2}-2.06*t_{1}+1.06)

g*t_{1}^{2}-2v_{o}t_{1}=g*(t_{1}^{2}-2.06*t_{1}+1.06)

-2v_{o}t_{1}=g*(-2.06*t_{1}+1.06)

2.06*gt_{1}-2v_{o}t_{1}=g*1.06

t_{1}=g*1.06/(2.06*g-2v_{o})

vo=8.9m/s

t_{1}=9.81*1.06/(2.06*9.81-2*8.9)=4.32s

t2=t1-1.03              (3)

t2=3.29sg

h=1/2*g*t_{2}^{2}=1/2*9.81*3.29^{2}=53.09m         (2)

b)t_{1}=g*1.06/(2.06*g-2v_{o})

t1 must :   t1>1.03  and t1>0

limit case: t1>1.03:

1.03>9.81*1.06/(2.06*g-2v_{o})

1.03*(2.06*9.81-2v_{o})

20.8-2.06v_{o}

(20.8-10.4)/2.06

v_{min}>5.05m/s

limit case: t1>0:

g*1.06/(2.06*g-2v_{o})>0

2.06*g-2v_{o}>0

v_{o}

v_{max}

What is cos-^1(0.34)?<br> A. 19.9<br> B. 44.2°<br> C. 70.1°<br> D. 18.8°
Fudgin [204]
A calculator must be used. To put your calculator in degree mode, press the MODE button and select degree, the press the 2nd button then MODE again. For most TI calculators, press the 2nd button then press the cos button then enter the value 0.34. This will give you an answer of 70.123 (when you round to 3 decimal places).

The answer is C

If a car takes a banked curve at less than the ideal speed, friction is needed to keep it from sliding toward the inside of the
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

a. v₁ = 16.2 m/s

b. μ = 0.251

Explanation:

Given:

θ = 15 ° , r = 100 m , v₂ = 15.0 km / h

a.

To determine v₁ to take a 100 m radius curve banked at 15 °

tan θ  = v₁² / r * g

v₁ = √ r * g * tan θ

v₁ = √ 100 m * 9.8 m/s² * tan 15° = 16.2 m/s

b.

To determine μ friction needed for a frightened

v₂ = 15.0 km / h * 1000 m / 1 km * 1h / 60 minute * 1 minute / 60 seg

v₂ = 4.2 m/s

fk = μ * m * g

a₁ = v₁² / r = 16.2 ² / 100 m = 2.63 m/s²

a₂ = v₂² / r = 4.2 ² / 100 m = 0.18 m/s²

F₁ = m * a₁  ,  F₂ = m * a₂

fk = F₁ - F₂   ⇒  μ * m * g = m * ( a₁ - a₂)

μ * g = a₁ - a₂   ⇒  μ = a₁ - a₂ / g

μ = [ 2.63 m/s² - 0.18 m/s² ] / (9.8 m/s²)

μ = 0.251

Give an example of a measurement that is precise to the nearest tenth of a gram.
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

So we have a measure in grams, we can start with something like:

143.523 grams.

Now we want this measurement to be precise to the nearest tenth of a gram.

The nearest tenth of a gram is the first digit after the decimal point, then the digits that come after this are not useful, because they are outside our precision range.

Then we must write our measurement as:

143.5 grams

Where the digit that came after the 5 was a 2, so we rounded down.
