Answer:

Exp35 km/h , 25 km/hlanation:

Let the speed of one cyclist is v and the speed of another cyclist is v - 10.

Distance traveled by the first cyclist in 2 hours = v x 2

Distance traveled by the second cyclist in 2 hours = (v - 10) x 2

They meet after 2 hours.

So the distance traveled by the first and the second cyclist is equal to 120 km.

2 v + 2 (v -10) = 120

2v + 2v - 20 = 120

4v = 140

v = 35 km/h

The speed of first cyclist is 35 km/h and the speed of another cyclist is 35 - 10 = 25 km/h.

Answer:

35 km/hr and 25 km/hr

Explanation:

Total distance is D.

Let speed of one cyclist be X km/hr.

Speed of second cyclist = ( X-10) km/hr

Now,

                        Distance = Speed * Time

Total distance D = Distance covered by slower cyclist + Distance covered by                                     faster cyclist.

                       D =  2* X + 2(X-10)

                       120 =  2X + 2X -20

                       120 = 4X - 20

                       140 = 4X

                         X = 35 km/hr

Therefore, Speed of faster cyclist = 35 km/hr

                  Speed of slower cyclist = 35-10

                                                          = 25km/hr

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

In this scenario adding the dielectric material in between the plates will have no effect on the capacitance of the plates since the voltage remains unchanged

Explanation:

Normally Introducing a dielectric into a capacitor decreases the electric field, which decreases the voltage, which increases the capacitance.

A capacitor with a dielectric stores the same charge as one without a dielectric, but at a lower voltage.

Voltage and capacitance are inversely proportional when charge is constant.

Now in this case the voltage remains the same hence the charges remain the same also because voltage is inversely proportional to capacitance
