A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. "Meteor" refers to the flash of light caused by the debris, not the debris itself.

If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.

Two metra trains approach each other on separate but parallel tracks. one has a speed of 90 km/hr, the other 80 km/hr. initially

Gennadij [26K]

The trains take <u>57.4 s</u> to pass each other.

Two trains A and B move towards each other. Let A move along the positive x axis and B along the negative x axis.

therefore,

$v_A=90 km/h\\ v_B=-80 km/h$

The relative velocity of the train A with respect to B is given by,

$v_A_B=v_A-v_B\\ =(90km/h)-(-80km/h)\\ =170km/h$

If the train B is assumed to be at rest, the train A would appear to move towards it with a speed of 170 km/h.

The trains are a distance d = 2.71 km apart.

Since speed is the distance traveled per unit time, the time taken by the trains to cross each other is given by,

$t= \frac{d}{v_A_B}$

Substitute 2.71 km for d and 170 km/h for $v_A_B$

$t= \frac{d}{v_A_B}\\ =\frac{2.71 km}{170 km/h} \\ =0.01594 h$

Express the time in seconds.

$t=(0.01594h)(3600s/h)=57.39s$

Thus, the trains cross each other in <u>57.4 s</u>.

what is the mass of a cannon ball if a force 2500 N gives the cannon ball an acceleration of 200 m/s squared?

nignag [31]

Using Newton's second law of motion:

F=ma ; [ F = force (N: kgm/s^2);m= mass (kg); a = acceleration (m/s^2)

Given: Find: Formula: Solve for m:

F: 2500N mass:? F=ma Eq.1 m=F/a Eq. 2

a= 200m/s^2

Solution:

Using Eq.2

m= (2500 kgm/s^2)/ (200m/s^2) = 12.5 kg
