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 bullet 2cm log is fired at 420m/s and passes straight a 10cm thick board exiting at 280m/s
Sonbull [250]
Solving for the acceleration of the bullet

acceleration = (vf^2 – vi^2) / 2d

acceleration = ((280 m/s)^2 – (420 m/s)^2) / (2 * 0.12 m)

acceleration = (78400 - 176400) / 0.24 m

acceleration = -98000 / 0.24

acceleration = -408333 m/s^2

Solving for contact time with board

t^2 = 2d/a

t^2 = 2 * 0.12 m / 408333 m/s^2

t^2 = 0.24 m / 408333 m/s^2

t^2 = 5.8775558 x 10^-7

t = 0.0007666 s or 767 microseconds

A chemical bond results from the mutual attraction of the nuclei for
GenaCL600 [577]

A chemical bond results from the mutual attraction of the nuclei for  atoms and electrons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Each atom tends to have an energy between the nuclei and electrons to keep it stable. So, there will be mutual attraction of the nuclei of atom and of electrons in the innermost shell to the outermost shell. And, this kind of mutual attraction can also be termed as chemical bond or binding energy.

So, depending upon the strength of mutual attraction, the nature of the element can be determined as well as its nature of reactivity can be analysed. So, results as a chemical bond from the mutual attractions of nuclei for atoms and electrons.

Oysters are filter feeders. They get their food by moving large amounts of water through their bodies and filtering out whatever
Lynna [10]

A. Oysters, clams, and other shellfish are efficient filter feeders that help remove excess nitrogen from waters by incorporating it into their shells and tissue as they grow. ... Adult oysters reportedly can filter up to 50 gallons a day, while large quahogs (hard clams) can clean about 24 gallons of water a day
