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.

As part of a safety investigation, two 1900 kg cars traveling at 20 m/s are crashed into different barriers. Part A Find the ave
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

-29.2\times 10^{3} N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of cars= m=1900 kg

Initial speed of car=u=20 m/s

Final speed of car=v=0

Time=\Delta t=1.3 s

We have to find the average force exerted on the car.

Average force=\frac{change\;in\;momentum}{\Delta t}

F_{avg}=\frac{mv-mu}{1.3}

F_{avg}=\frac{1900(0)-1900(20)}{1.3}

F_{avg}=\frac{-38000}{1.3}=-29.2\times 10^{3} N

Hence, the average force exerted on the car that hits a line of water barrels=-29.2\times 10^{3} N

Why are collisions between galaxies more likely than collisions between stars within a galaxy?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

stars share a gravitational force with the galaxy while nearby galaxies do not share a gravitational field.

Explanation:

stars will not collide because they are bound by a gravitational orbit around the galaxy

If you increase the amount of spinach you eat, then you will increase the iron in your blood. What's the dependent variable?
Solnce55 [7]
The dependent variable is the iron in your blood because it depends on the amount of spinach you eat. The independent variable will be the amount of spinach you eat since it doesn’t depend on the iron for anything.

Why current remains same in series combination of resistors in all resistors and p.d. remains different?
IgorC [24]
Current at all points of a series circuit must be the same, because there's no place in the circuit where electrons are being manufactured, and no place where they're leaking out and falling on the floor. The nimber of electrons that leaves the loop is the same number that entered it. I'm not sure what is nmeant by "p.d. remains different" .

The total consumption of electrical energy in the United States is about 1.0 1019 joules per year.
dexar [7]

Answer:

a) 316880878140.2895 Joules

b) 1056.26 Joules

c) 372.80103310622 km²

Explanation:

Energy consumption

E=\frac{P}{t}\\\Rightarrow E=\frac{1\times 10^{19}}{365.25\times 24\times 60\times 60}\\\Rightarrow E=316880878140.2895\ W

Average rate of electrical energy consumption is 316880878140.2895 Joules

Total population = 300 million

E=\frac{316880878140.2895}{300\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow E=1056.26\ J

Each person consumes 1056.26 Joules.

Efficiency = 0.85

Power from Sun

0.85\times 1000=850\ W/m^2

Area

\frac{316880878140.2895}{850}=372801033.10622\ m^2

Converting to km²

372801033.10622=\frac{372801033.10622}{1000\times 1000}=372.80103310622\ km^2

Area required to collect the electrical energy used in the United States is 372.80103310622 km²
