Nope, this is impossible because in order for a car to pass another, they the 55 mph car would have to be behind the 65 mph car (meaning that starting ahead of the 65 mph doesn't count as pass). Assuming that they both drive for one hour, it is impossible because the first will cover a distance of 65 mi and the second would cover a distance of 55 mi. One is obviously ahead of the other and is therefore impossible for the slow one to pass the first one unless the slow car keeps driving after an hour. In that case, it would take approximately 11 minutes for it to pass the other car. This was found by finding the distance needed to pass the first car : 65 - 55 = 10 mi and converted using 1 hr/ 55 mi = .18181818 hr x 60 min/ 1 hr = 11 seconds
I hope this helps :)

Sure it is.  We only know the average speeds, but we don't know
how much of the time each car drove faster or slower. 

The averages only tell us who got to the end of their trip sooner. 
But there could have been a time ... or several times during the hour ...
when the 55mph car was blazing and passed the 65mph car.

In fact, the 55mph car could have been driving at 110 mph for the
first 29 minutes, then the last 1.83 miles at a speed of 3.5 mph.
His average would then be 55mph, even though he spent the first
29 minutes passing everybody and everything on the road in the
first 53.16 miles of his trip.

A biconvex lens is formed by using a piece of plastic(n=1.70).
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

f =17.15\ cm

Explanation:

given,

refractive index of lens, n = 1.70

Radius of curvature of front surface. R₁ = 20 cm

Radius of curvature of the back surface, R₂ = 30 cm

focal length= ?

\dfrac{1}{f}=(n-1)(\dfrac{1}{R_1}-\dfrac{1}{R_2})

    R₁ = +20 cm

    R₂ = -30 cm

    n = 1.70

\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.70-1)(\dfrac{1}{20}-\dfrac{1}{-30})

\dfrac{1}{f}=0.70 \times 0.0833

f = \dfrac{1}{0.7 \times 0.0833}

f =17.15\ cm

the focal length of the lens is equal to 17.15 cm

Explain what it means when scientists say that the offspring of sexual reproduction are genetically diverse.
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer: During sexual reproduction, the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically-diverse offspring that differ from their parents.  The genetic diversity of sexually-produced offspring is thought to give species a better chance of surviving in an unpredictable or changing environment

If a 6V battery is connected to a light bulb whose resistance is 55,000Ω How much current will flow in the circuit?
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Current, I = 0.000109 Amps

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 6V

Resistance = 55,000 Ohms

To find the current flowing through the circuit;

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing in an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

V = IR

Where;

V represents voltage measured in voltage.

I represents current measured in amperes.

R represents resistance measured in ohms.

Making current the subject of formula, we have;

I = \frac {V}{R}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

I = \frac {6}{55000}

Current, I = 0.000109 Amps

How fast is a wave traveling if it has a wavelength of 7 meters and a frequency of 11 Hz?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \sf{77 \: m/s}}}}

☯ Question :

  • How fast is a wave travelling if it has a wavelength of 7 meters and a frequency of 11 Hz?

☯ \underbrace{ \sf{Required \: Answer  :  }}

☥ Given :

  • Wavelength ( λ ) = 7 meters
  • Frequency ( f ) = 11 Hz

☥ To find :

  • Speed of sound ( v ) = ?

☄ We know ,

\boxed{ \sf{v = f \times λ}}

where ,

  • v = speed of sound
  • f = frequency
  • λ = wavelength

Now, substitute the values and solve for v.

➺ \sf{v = 11 \times 7}

➺ \boxed{ \sf{v = 77 \: m/s}}

-------------------------------------------------------------------

✑ Additional Info :

  • Frequency : The number of complete vibrations made by a particle of a body in one second is called it's frequency. It is denoted by the letter f . The SI unit of frequency is hertz ( Hz ).

  • Wavelength : The distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions of a sound wave is called wavelength of that wave. It is denoted by λ ( lambda ) and it's SI unit is m.

  • Speed of a sound wave : The distance covered by a sound wave in one second is called speed of sound wave. It depends on the product of wavelength and frequency of the wave.

Hope I helped!

Have a wonderful time! ツ

You are trying to hear your friend give directions to new store in town. But from your distance (1 point) of 15 m you only hear
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

Intensity of sound = 20 dB

distance = 15 m

intensity of sound is increased to = 50 dB

distance between the sound level = ?

Using relation

L_2 = L_1 - |20(log \dfrac{r_2}{r_1})|

L₁ = 20 dB        L₂ = 50 dB         r₁ = 15 m      r₂ = ?

log (\dfrac{r_2}{r_1}) = \dfrac{L_1 -L_2}{20}

\dfrac{r_2}{r_1}= 10^{\dfrac{|L_1 -L_2|}{20}}

r_2 =r_1 10^{\dfrac{|L_1 -L_2|}{20}}

r_2 =15 \times 10^{\dfrac{|20-50|}{20}}

r_2 =15 \times 10^{-1.5}

r₂ = 0.47 m

r₂ = 47 cm

hence, the correct answer is option D
