Answer:

The train is moving with a speed of 57.6 m/s.    

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance of observer from the road, d = 40 m (due south)

Velocity of the train, v = 60 m/s (due east)

So,

x(t)=70\\\\y(t)=60t

t is time

Net displacement is given by :

z(t)=\sqrt{(60t)^2+(70)^2}

Differentiating above equation wrt t as :

z'(t)=\dfrac{1}{2}(3600t^2+4900)^{-1/2}{\cdot} 7200t

Put t = 4 s

z'(4)=\dfrac{1}{2}(3600(4)^2+4900)^{-1/2}{\cdot} 7200(4)\\\\z'(4)=57.6\ m

So, the train is moving with a speed of 57.6 m/s.

In which city did the wright brothers take off on their very first flight
Nezavi [6.7K]
<h2>Answer: Kitty Hawk, North Carolina </h2>

The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville, were pioneers of aviation, since they flew in a device heavier than air, which was inconceivable at that time.

Their first successful flight was on December 17th, 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, which lasted only 12 seconds in which their plane (the Flyer I, with 341 kg, 6.4 m long and a wingspan of 12.3 m) traveled 37 m without touching the ground. This was achieved through the help of an external catapult that "threw" them into the air.

It should be noted that the Wright brothers only studied until high school, however, their passion for solving the problem of the human inability to fly, their perseverance and experience acquired over the years in their bicycle company, led them to reach that goal. An achievement that marked the beginning of the  aviation era.

Two dogs fight over a bone. The larger of the two pulls on the bone to the right with a force of 42 N. The smaller one pulls to
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

A

35 N  Small Dog <=======BONE=========> Bigger Dog 42 N

B

Fnet = Large Dog - small dog The forces are subtracted because they are acting in opposite Directions.

Fnet = 42 - 35

Fnet = 7 N

C

m = 2.5 kg

F = 7 N

a = ?

F = m * a

7 = 2.5 a

a = 7 / 2.5

a = 2.8 m/s^2

Which of the following periodic properties increases as you move from left to right across the periodic table?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

the answer choice is B

Explanation:

as we move from left to right , the atomic size decreases due to higher number of protons in the nucleus, which are able to attract the electrons more strongly. and so the electronegativity and  electron affinity increases for the same reason. the nuclear charge increase due to more protons , and without an increase in inner electrons , there is less shielding effect. so effective nuclear charge increases.
