Jessica and Martin start riding their bicycles towards each other at 2 pm. At 2 pm, they are 25 miles apart. Jessica rides her b

ike at a constant rate of 15 miles per hour and Martin rides his at a constant rate of 10 miles per hour. At 2 pm, a bird starts flying towards Martin. As soon as the bird gets to Martin, it turns back around and flies towards Jessica, and continues going back and forth until Jessica and Martin meet. The bird travels at a constant rate of 45 miles per hour. How far does the bird fly from the time it starts until Jessica and Martin meet

Answer:

45 miles

Explanation:

Speed of Jessica = 15 mph

Speed of Martin = 10 mph

Distance between them = 25 miles

Time they both will be cycling is the same = t (Assuming they started at the same time and stop at the same time they meet)

Speed of bird = 45 mph

Distance = Speed × Time

15t+10t=25\\\Rightarrow 25t=25\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{25}{25}\\\Rightarrow t=1\ h

Let us assume the bird started at the same position as Jessica

It keeps going back and forth between them for hour till they meet at constant speed

Distance=45\times 1=45\ miles

The distance the bird traveled is 45 miles

MatroZZZ [7]
For this we use general equation for gases. Our variables represent:

p- pressure
v-volume
t- temperature

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

in this equation we know:
P1,V1 and T1, T2 and V2. 
We have one equation and 1 unknown variable.

P2 = T2P1V1/T1V2 = 1.1atm

The new gravitation force at the new location is 40 N

Explanation:

The weight of the astronaut is given by the equation

F=mg (1)

where

m is the mass of the astronaut

g is the acceleration of gravity

The acceleration of gravity at a certain distance r from the centre of the Earth is given by

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant and M is the Earth's mass. So we can rewrite eq.(1) as

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

When the astronaut is on the Earth's surface, r=R (where R is the Earth's radius), so his weight is

F=\frac{GMm}{R^2}=640 N

Later, he moves to another location where his distance from the Earth's surface is 3 times the previous distance, so the new distance from the Earth's centre is

r'=3R+R=4R

Therefore, the new weight is

F'=\frac{GMm}{(4R)^2}=\frac{1}{16}\frac{GMm}{R^2}=\frac{F}{16}

Which means that his weight has decreased by a factor 16: therefore, the new weight is

F'=\frac{640}{16}=40 N

Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

A person walks 9.0 km directly east and then turns left and heads directly north for 12.0 km.

We need to find his displacement from the starting position.

We know that,

Displacement = shortest path covered

D=\sqrt{9^2+12^2} \\\\D=15\ km

For direction,

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{d_y}{d_x})\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{12}{9})\\\\= $$53.13^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.
