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

An insulated piston–cylinder device contains 5 l of saturated liquid water at a constant pressure of 150 kpa. an electric resist
Semmy [17]
At the initial state: v1 = vf = 0.001053 m 3 /kg, h1 = hf = 467.11 kJ/kg, and s1 = sf = 1.4336 kJ/kgK.
 The mass of the water is: m = V/v1 = 0.005/0.001053 = 4.7483 kg.
 To find the final state, we will use the First Law:
 Q12 = m(h2 - h1) for closed system undergoing a constant pressure process.
 h2 = 1Q2/m + h1 = 2200/4.7483 + 467.11 = 930.43 kJ/kg.
 At P2 = P1 = 150 kPa, this is a saturated mixture.
 hf = 467.11 kJ/kg, hfg = 2226.5 kJ/kg, sf = 1.4336 kJ/kgK, and sfg = 5.7897  kJ/kgK
 s2 = sf + sfg (h2 – hf )/hfg = 1.4336 + 5.7897(930.43 – 467.11)/2226.5 =   2.6384 kJ/kgK.
 The entropy change of water is:
 Delta Ssys= m(s2 – s1) = 4.7483(2.6384 – 1.4336) = 5.72 kJ/K.

The minimum voltage that is required to generate an action potential is called the _______.
allochka39001 [22]
The answer would be threshold voltage. It is the minimum value of voltage needed to produce an action potential. It is also known as gate voltage. It is the minimum value that would make turn a transistor on. Hope this answers the question.

41. City A lies 30 km directly south of city B. A bus, beginning at city A travels 50 km at 37° north of east to reach city C. H
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

B) 40 km West

Explanation:

Let position of B is origin so with respect of City B the position of A is given as

r_A = 30 km south of city B

now Bus starts from City A and travels a distance of 50 km at 37 degree North of East to reach city C

so it is

r_{CA} = 50(cos37\hat i + sin37 \hat j)

r_{CA} = 40\hat i + 30\hat j

now the position of C is given with respect to A

in order to find the position of C with respect to B we can say

r_C = r_{CA} + r_A

r_C = 40\hat i + 30\hat j + (-30 \hat j)

r_C = 40 \hat i

so in order to reach at city B from city C bus has to travel 40 km towards West
