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

Why are a 12 ounce hard seltzer and 1.5 ounces of liquor both standard drinks? alchohol edu
Mars2501 [29]

12 ounce hard seltzer and 1.5 ounces of liquor are standard drinks because they contain the <u>same amount</u><u> </u><u>of </u><u>pure alcohol</u>

<h3>What is standard drink?</h3>

This is  a term used to refer to the measure of alcoholic content of drinks  such that the drink should have 14 grams of pure alcohol or 0.6 fluid ounces of pure alcohol. This concept of standard drink is applicable in the United States of America.

The equivalence of a standard drink is 5 percent alcohol as seen in regular beer, 12 percent as seen in wines, and 40 percent as seen in distilled spirits. This measurement in taken by the percentage of the total volume of the beverage. hence the quantity of the drink or beverage may be different as the percentage is what determines the amount of alcohol present

From standard drink chart both drinks has same amount of pure alcohol so they are said to be standard drinks

Discuss the differences between Seismic Reflection and Seismic Refraction
Maru [420]

Explanation:

Seismic refraction is the bending of the seismic waves as they pass geological layers of the earth due to different densities. This is especially true for Primary waves because they can pass through all the layers of the earth both liquid and solid.

Seismic reflectivity is the bouncing back of seismic waves at a boundary of geological layers due to different densities or subsurface formation. This is especially true for secondary waves that are unable to pass through liquid layers of the earth like the outer core and mantle. When they reach the boundary of these layers they bounce back towards the earth's surface.

These properties of P and S waves are used to ‘auscultate’ the epicenter of an earthquake by triangulation.
