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

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 10 ft3/min, and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shap
AURORKA [14]

Answer: The height of the pile increasing is increasing at 0.16\frac{ft}{min}

Explanation:

Given

Rate at which gravel is being dumped , \frac{\mathrm{d} V}{\mathrm{d} t}=10\frac{ft^{3}}{min}

=>Rate of increase of volume of cone=\frac{\mathrm{d} V}{\mathrm{d} t}=10\frac{ft^{3}}{min}

If height of the cone at any instant is h then the diameter of cone is also h

Volume of cone , V=\frac{\pi r^{2}h}{3}=\frac{\pi h^{3}}{4\times 3}=\frac{\pi h^{3}}{12}

Now differentiate both sides w.r.t time(t)

\frac{\mathrm{d} V}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{\pi h^{2}}{4}\frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}

Therefore at h = 9 ft

10=\frac{\pi \times 9^{2}}{4}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}

=>\frac{\mathrm{d} h}{\mathrm{d} t}=0.16\frac{ft}{min}

Thus the height of the pile increasing is increasing at 0.16\frac{ft}{min}

An electron moves at 2.80 ×106 m/s through a region in which there is a magnetic field of unspecified direction and magnitude 7.
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

a = 3.73*10^{16}m/s^2

Explanation:

The magnetic force is given by the equation,

\vec{F}_{magnetic} = q (\vec{v}X\vec{B})

\vec{F}_{magnetic} = qvBsin\theta

Where \theta is the angle between velocity vector and the magnetic field,

That angle is 90°.

We know as well that

F=ma, replacing the mass and the acceleration in our previous equation we have

ma = qvBsin\theta

a= \frac{qvBsin\theta}{m}

Our values are,

q= 1.6*10^{-19}c

v=2.8*10^6m/s

B=7.6*10^{-2}T

m=9.11*10^{-31}kg

Substituting,

a = \frac{(1.6*10^{-19})(2.8*10^6)(7.6*10^{-2})}{9.11*10^{-31}}

a = 3.73*10^{16}m/s^2
