11) A man is on a 1/4 on a bridge. A train is coming the same direction he is going. The man can run across the bridge in the sa

me direction and make in barely in time. He can also run backwards towards the train and also barely make it. How fast is the train going relative to the man?

15mph

If the man turns and runs toward point A, he will cover

3/8 of the length of the bridge in the time that it takes

the train to reach A.

If the man runs forward toward point B, what part of the bridge

will he cover before the train reaches A? Well, he will cover

3/8 of the bridge, only heading forward toward B. This will put

him 3/8 + 3/8 = 6/8 = 3/4 of the way across the bridge by the

time the train reaches A.

since we know that the man and the train will meet at B, this

means that in the time it takes the man to run the remaining

1/4 of the bridge, the train will cover the entire length of

the bridge.

If it takes the man the same time to cover 1/4 of the bridge

that it takes the train to cover the whole bridge, then the train

must be going four times as fast as the man. Another way of saying

this is that the man runs at 1/4 the speed of the train.  

Since the train's speed is known to be 60 mph, this means that

the man runs at (1/4) 60 = 15 mph.

A flare is launched from a life raft with an initial velocity of 192 ft/sec. How many seconds will it take for the flare to retu
DIA [1.3K]

We use the formula,

h= ut- 16 t^2

Here, h is the  variable  represents the height of the flare  in feet when it returns to the sea so, h = 0 and u is the initial velocity of the flare, in feet per second and its value of 192 ft/sec.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

0 = 192 t - 16 t^2  \\\\ 16 t( 12 - t ) =0 \\\\ t = 12 s.

Here, t= 0 neglect because it is  the time when the flare is launched.

Thus, flare return to the sea in 12 s.

A steel ball bearing is released from a height H and
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

ELASTIC collision

kinetic energy is conservate

Explanation:

As the ball bounces to the same height, it can be stated that the impact with the floor is ELASTIC.

As the floor does not move the conservation of the moment

            po = pf

            -mv1 = m v2

- v1 = v2

So the speed with which it descends is equal to the speed with which it rises

Therefore the kinetic energy of the ball before and after the collision is the same
