Since both these cars are traveling as an assumed constant rate, you can imagine them as not moving at all to make the problem easier conceptually. The distance between the cars will also remain constant. First, convert the units km/hr into m/s: 90/3.6= 25 m/s; 50/3.6=13.89 m/s. The difference between these two speeds is 11.11 m/s. Now use the equation: velocity= distance/time. 11.11= 100/time; solve for time and you should get 9.0009 seconds

The faster car behind is catching up/closing the gap/gaining on
the slow truck in front at the rate of (90 - 50) = 40 km/hr.

At that rate, it takes (100 m) / (40,000 m/hr) = 1/400 of an hour
to reach the truck.

(1/400 hour) x (3,600 seconds/hour) = 3600/400 = <em>9 seconds</em>, exactly

Tx=\frac{IT}{dT}

Where

Tx=talent

I=Current

t=time

dT=Change in temperature

From the question we are told

Talent = Current in nuerons x Time ÷ Change in dogs body Temperature

Generally the equation for the give Question is  is mathematically given as

Tx=\frac{IT}{dT}

Where

Tx=talent

I=Current

t=time

dT=Change in temperature

Where

Talent refer to skills and ability.

A large, simple pendulum is on display in the lobby of the United Nations building. If the pendulum is 18.5 m in length, what is
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

     t = 1,144 s

Explanation:

The simple pendulum consists of an inextensible string with a mass at the tip, the angular velocity of this is

     w = √( L / g)

The angular velocity is related to the frequency and period

     w = 2π f

      f = 1 / T

     w = 2π / T

Let's replace

     2π / T = √ (L / g)

     T = 2π √ (g / L)

Let's calculate

     T = 2π √ (9.81 / 18.5)

     T = 4,576 s

The definition of period in the time it takes the ball to come and go to a given point (a revolution) in our case we go from the end to the middle point that is a quarter of the path

     t = T / 4

     t = 4,576 / 4

     t = 1,144 s
