Answer:

15 mph

Explanation:

Velocity = Distance/time

Distance, D = velocity * time

After 2 hours, the first train would have covered a distance of:

D1 = 60 * 2 = 120 miles

The second train would have covered a distance of:

D2 = 45 * 2 = 90

The difference in the distance covered by the two trains after 2 hours is:

ΔD = D1 - D2

ΔD = 120 -90

ΔD = 30 miles

The rate at which the distance is changing, Rate = ΔD/Δt

Rate = 30/2

Rate = 15 mph

What is true about the force between charges?
shusha [124]

Answer:

The statements A and D are true

The statements B and C are false

Explanation:

The force between charges can be explained by the Coulomb's Law.

According to Coulomb:

1 - Like charges always repel each other

2- Unlike or opposite charges always attrack each other

3- Force between 2 charges is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

where F is the force between 2 charges and r is the distance between 2 charges.

We can see that Force F is inversely proportional to the distance r

Which means that when F increase, r decreases and when F decreases, r increases

A race car starts from rest and travels east along a straight and level track. For the first 5.0 ss of the car's motion, the eas
irina [24]

Answer:

The acceleration of the car is 7.85 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

vx(t)= (0.910m/s³)t², given time traveled by the car 't' = 5.0 s

⇒To determine the velocity for 5 seconds, we substitute in 5.0 s for t

vx(5)= (0.910m/s³)(5s)²

       = (0.910m/s³)(25s²)

      vx = 22.75 m/s

⇒To determine the acceleration of the car when vx=12.0m/s

Acceleration is change in velocity per unit time

when vx=12.0m/s, our new equation becomes; 12 = (0.910m/s³)t²

Solving for t: t² = 12/0.91

                     t² = 13.187

                      t = √13.187 = 3.63 s

  Acceleration = Δv/Δt

                        = \frac{(22.75 - 12)m/s}{(5-3.63)s} = (\frac{10.75}{1.37}).\frac{m}{s^2}

  Acceleration = 7.85 m/s²

An element's atomic number is 7. How many electrons would an atom of this element have?
almond37 [142]

Hey There!

The atomic number represents the electrons and protons, therefore, if the atomic number of the element is 7 then there are 7 electrons and protons in the element.

In order to determine the amount of neutrons, you would subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.

Hope this helped!
