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

A spring with force constant of 59 N/m is compressed by 1.3 cm in a hockey game machine. The compressed spring is used to accele
Furkat [3]

Answer:

The puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping

Explanation:

As the puck is accelerated by the spring, the kinetic energy of the puck equals the elastic potential energy of the spring.

So, 1/2mv² = 1/2kx² where m = mass of puck = 39.2 g = 0.0392 g, v = velocity of puck, k = spring constant = 59 N/m and x = compression of spring = 1.3 cm = 0.013 cm.

Now, since the puck has an initial velocity, v before it slides up the inclined surface, its loss in kinetic energy equals its gain in potential energy before it stops. So

1/2mv² = mgh where h = vertical height puck moves and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Substituting the kinetic energy of the puck for the potential energy of the spring, we have

1/2kx² = mgh

h = kx²/2mg

= 59 N/m × (0.013 m)²/(0.0392 kg × 9.8 m/s²)

= 0.009971 Nm/0.38416 N

= 0.0259 m

= 2.59 cm

≅ 2.6 cm

So the puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping

Neurons that deliver sensory information from sensory receptors to the spinal cord are called __________.
morpeh [17]

Answer:

First Order Neurons

Explanation:

First Order Neurons

The main function of First Order Neurons is to deliver sensory information from sensory receptors to the spinal cord.

In Actual there are three orders of neurons, the first order neuron carry signals from periphery to the spinal chord, the second order neuron carry signal from from spinal chord to the thalamus. And the third order neurons carry signals to the primary sensory cortex.
