<h2>Marcus was traveling 11 hours before Marie caught up.</h2>

Explanation:

Let the time of travel of Marcus before they caught up be t.

Time of travel of Marie = t - 2

Speed of Marcus = 45 mph

Speed of Marie = 55 mph

Distance traveled by them will be same.

Hence

Speed of Marcus x Time of travel of Marcus before they caught up= Speed of Marie x Time of travel of Marie before they caught up

          45 x t= 55 x (t-2)

          45t= 55 t - 110

           10 t = 110

               t = 11 hours

Marcus was traveling 11 hours before Marie caught up.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Explanation:

acceleration =\frac{v1 -v2}{t} =\frac{25-0}{5}= 5

since the car stoped do its final velocity or v2 is equal 0

Explain why you can only change one variable in an experiment
ohaa [14]
The purpose of an experiment is to LEARN the EFFECT of something.

The way you do that is to CHANGE the thing and see what happens.

You can change as many things as you want to.  But If you change
TWO things and observe the result, then you don't know which one
of them caused the effect you see. 

Or maybe BOTH of them working together caused it.  You don't know. 

So your experiment is not really much good.  You need to do it again.

Can someone help me please :( ASAP. Also I’m sorry if it’s small
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Graph #2

Explanation:

Notice, on the position time graph, there is a constant rate of change. This means that there is a constant velocity, meaning it's a straight line. The line is decreasing so the velocity will be negative.

When light goes from one material into another material having a HIGHER index of refractionA) its speed decreases but its wavele
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

E) its speed and wavelength decrease, but its frequency stays the same

Explanation:

First of all, the frequency of a light wave does not depend on the medium, while wavelength and speed do. Therefore, the frequency remains costant.

In particular, the speed of light in a medium is given by:

v=\frac{c}{n}

where c is the speed of light in a vacuum and n is the index of refraction. From the formula, we see that v and n are inversely proportional: so, when the light moves into a material with higher index of refraction, its speed decreases.

Moreover, speed is related to wavelength by

v=\lambda f

where \lambda is the wavelength and f is the frequency. Since the two quantities are directly proportional, this means that since the speed decreases, the wavelength decreases as well.

So, the correct choice is

E) its speed and wavelength decrease, but its frequency stays the same

Resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to length. True or False
Yanka [14]
True.

As the length of the conductor increases, so also the resistance to the flow of current increases along the conductor.
