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 rock is thrown upward with a velocity of 22 meters per second from the top of a 25 meter high cliff, and it misses the cliff o
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The rock will reach 9 m from the ground at eaxactly 5.06 s after it was initially thrown upwards.

Explanation:

We will use the equations of motion for this.

u = initial velocity of the rock = 22 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s²

y = vertical position of the rock at a time t = 9 m

y₀ = initial height of the rock = 25 m

t = time it takes for the rock to reach height of 9 m.

(y-y₀) = ut + 0.5gt²

(9 - 25) = 22t + 0.5(-9.8)t²

- 14 = 22t - 4.9t²

4.9t² - 22t - 14 = 0

solving this quadratic equation,

t = 5.055 s or - 0.565 s

Since time cannot be negative,

t = 5.055 s = 5.06 s

Hope this Helps!!!

What is the biggest similarity between sports in the United States and sports in other cultures?
leva [86]

Answer:

The first difference is fairly straightforward: other countries prefer other sports. While some aspects of American sports culture are universal there are other things that are sports-specific, such as the 7th-inning stretch at a baseball game or counting the steps of a basketball player after he fouls out.
