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>

If the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases, does the number of waves passing by you increase, decrease, or stay the s
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

option(d)

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is the property of the source of wave.

The velocity of all the electromagnetic waves is same as the speed of light. It only changes as the light passes through one medium to another.

The frequency is defined as the number of waves coming out from the source in 1 second.

As the frequency of wave increases, the number of wave coming per second increases.

So, the number of waves passing by increases but the speed remains same.

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration on an object when the force is held constant?
Andreyy89

Answer:

according to newtons second law of motion,

Force = mass * acceleration

The acceleration of the body is directly proportional to the net force acting on the body and inversely proportional to the mass of the body.

I. e mass and acceleration are directly proportional to each other.

A light bulb and a solenoid are connected in series to a battery. An irod rod is thrust rapidly into the solenoid and later rapi
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

3) Dims in, Brightens out

Explanation:

The relationship between the inductance of a coil and the current is inverse.

As the rod is thrusted into the solenoid, the inductance increases, which in turn decreases the current and the bulb gets dimmer. This is also because some magnetic force is drawn away from the solenoid and the battery.

When the rod is removed, the inductance of the solenoid decreases, the current increases, and the bulb becomes brighter.
