If the track has circumference c miles, then and the car's speeds are x and y mi/s, then since time = distance/speed, 

<span>In the same direction, the slow car has a "lead" of 1 mile which the faster car has to make up. </span>

<span>1/(y-x) = 120 </span>
<span>1/(x+y) = 30 </span>

<span>120(y-x) = 30(x+y) </span>
<span>120y-120x = 30x+30y </span>
<span>90y = 150x </span>
<span>y = 5/3 x </span>


<span>1/(x + 5/3 x) = 30 </span>
<span>8/3 x * 30 = 1 </span>
<span>80x = 1 </span>
<span>x = 1/80 mi/sec = 45 mph </span>
<span>y = 75 mph</span>

A box with a mass of 2 kg accelerates in a straight line
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: 16N

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of box M= 2 kg

Initial speed V1 = 4 m/s

Final speed V2 = 8 m/s

Time taken T= 0.5 s

Average strength of this force F = ?

Now, recall that Force is the rate of change of momentum per unit time

i.e Force = momentum / time

Hence, F = M x (V2 - V1)/T

F = 2kg x (8 m/s - 4 m/s) / 0.5s

F = 2kg x (4 m/s / 0.5s)

F = 2kg x 8 m/s/s)

F = 16N

Thus, the average strength of this

force is 16 newton.
