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.

Basalt, formed from magma, contains iron-rich minerals. Why is this important?
Svetach [21]
Iron is a magnetic metal, and it is essential to the Earth's magnetic field!
Essentially it "records" (stores the information, maintains) the direction and orientation of the magnetic field.

Among others, the magnetic field protects the Earth from dangerous cosmic rays.

Please Help On These 2 Questions!!!!! I severely need help!!!!!!

3. In a uniform electric field, the equation for the magnitude of the magnetic field is E=(V/d). V= voltage d= distance. If the magnetic field magnitude is constant , as stated in your problem, then the voltage must stay the same otherwise the value of "E" would change". And the problem already told us the "E" is uniform and so, not changing. Does that make sense?

4a. If the magnetic field lines are equally spaced apart, in other words share the same density. Then we know that the magnitude of the magnetic field is unchanging. This is because the density of of the magnetic field lines(how many are in a certain area) is related to the magnitude being expressed by the electric field. Greater magnitude is expressed by the presence of more lines (higher line density) 

4b. The electric potential is measured in Volts(V) and is uniform along  the same equipotential line. What is an equipotential line(gray)? It is a line drawn perpendicular(forms a right angle with) to the magnetic field lines(black) to show the changes in electric potential. One space where electric potential will always be the same because it will always be equal to 0 Volts is exactly in between a positive and negative charges of equal charge value I have pointed to this line with a purple arrow in my picture.

I really hope this makes sense to you and that my pictures help! :)
