A car traveling 90km/hr is 100 m behind a truck traveling 50km/hr. How long will it take the car to reach the truck?

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

g The magnetic force on a charged particle A. depends on the sign of the charge on the particle. B. depends on the velocity of t
Leona [35]

Answer:

E) is described by all of these

Explanation:

The magnetic force on a charged particle is expressed as:

F = qv * B = qvBsinθ

Where,

q = charge on particle

θ = angle between the magnetic field and the particle velocity.

v = velocity of the particle

B = magnitude of field vector

From here, we could denote that magnetic force, F depends on charge on particle, velocity of particle, magnitude of field vector.

The magnetic force on a charged particle is at right angles to both the velocity of the particle. The magnetic force and magnetic field in a charged particle are perpendicular to each other, the right hand rule is used to determine the direction of force.

The correct option is E.

Four complete waves pass the duck in one second the frequency of this wave is
galben [10]
The frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations passing a given point per second.

In this case, assuming the duck is stationary, we have 4 complete waves passing the duck in one second: therefore, the frequency of the wave is
f= \frac{4}{1 s}=4 Hz

If an object absorbs all colors but red, we see
julia-pushkina [17]
[I researched for you, since I am not in that particular level to know that knowledge yet. I assure this is accurate info :)]

The answer is A, red.
"Remember, the color you see is light REFLECTING off the surface of that object. If all colors are absorbed in to the surface EXCEPT red, red must be reflected, and you'll see red." - Yahoo User @Chap

1. The diagram shows a satellite traveling in uniform circular motion around the Earth.
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

M V R = constant      angular momentum is constant because  no forces act in the direction of V

Since M (mass) = constant

V R = constant

The force is directed along the gravitational force vector (towards the center of rotation)
