Answer: 65mph, 75mph

Explanation:

Let us assume x to be the speed of the slower train, in mph (miles per hour).

Then the speed of the other train is (x+10) mph, according to the question.

We then would have an equation like this

1.6x + 1.6(x+10) = 224.

This is because, the first addend in the left side is the distance covered by the slower train.

The second addend in the left side is the distance covered by the faster train.

The sum is 224 miles, because they together covered all the distance to the moment when they meet each other.

1.6x + 1.6x + 16 = 224

3.2x + 16 = 224

3.2x = 224 - 16

3 2x = 208

x = 208/3.2

x = 65

Thus the speed of the slower train is 65mph, and that of the other train is 65 + 10 = 75mph

The Old Faithful geyser found in Yellowstone Park is an example of _____.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

cone geyser

Explanation:

The Old Faithful geyser is the oldest discovered geyser in the Yellowstone national park. The eruptions of the geyser are particularly predictable. It is a cone type geyser.

Cone geysers generally have a spout through which the water ejects out. When super heated water in the tube then the water starts to boil and form bubbles of steam, after this process the eruption takes place.

The reason for people to swim easier in salt water than fresh water is because of buoyancy

Explanation:

In fresh water there is lack of minerals and has fresh water alone. The density of fresh water is 1000 kg/m³.  Hence, in fresh water  cannot exert the suitable buoyancy for the swimmer to float easier than that of salt water.

But in Salt water due to enrichment of salts  and minerals it is found that salt water has more density than fresh water. Here the salt water offers more buoyancy to the swimmer to lift him up in the water surface and to swim faster and easier than fresh water.

It is similar to that egg floats in the salt water and sinks inside the fresh water because of its own body weight.

What happens when a sound wave passes from oil into air? A. the sound wave slows down and bounces back B. the sound wave slows d
Jlenok [28]

Oil is optically denser than water. When sound/light goes from optically denser medium to optically rarer medium, their velocity increase and they moves away for normal.

<h3><u>Appropriate</u><u> </u><u>Answer</u><u>:</u></h3>

The sound wave speeds up and bends

\Large{ \underline{ \boxed{ \pink{ \bf{Option \: (D)}}}}}

As, In optics we learnt that light undergoes refraction when travels from medium of different densities. Similarly, Sound also follows the law of refraction.

  • It is due to the change of speed of water in different mediums, This makes it speed up or down depending upon the medium and their densities.
