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

An airplanes lands with a velocity of +75 m/s and comes to a stop in 20 seconds. What is the acceleration of the airplane while
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The acceleration of the car, a = -3.75 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data,  

The initial velocity of the airplane, u = 75 m/s

The final velocity of the plane, v = 0 m/s

The time period of motion, t = 20 s

Using the I equations of motion

                    v = u + at

                     a = (v - u) / t

                        = (0 - 75) / 20

                        = -3.75 m/s²

The negative sign indicates that the plane is decelerating

Hence, the acceleration of the car, a = -3.75 m/s²

What are 5 differences between Spring Tides and Neap Tides?
ad-work [718]

Spring Tides are formed by the constructive interference of bulges created by the moon and sun. Spring Tides occur when the Sun, Moon and the Earth are aligned. Neap Tides are formed by the destructive interference created by the moon and sun. Neap tides occur when the Sun, Moon, and Earth align to make a right angle.

if a material has a half-life of 24 hours, how long do you have to wait until the amount of radioisotope is 1/4 its original amo
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

48 hours

Explanation:

Using the formula,

R/R' = 2ᵃ/ᵇ..................... Equation 1

Where R = Original amount, R' = Radioactive remain, a = Total time, b = half life.

Given: b = 24 hours,

Let: R = X, then R' = X/4.

Substitute into equation 1

X/(X/4) = 2ᵃ/²⁴

4 = 2ᵃ/²⁴

2² = 2ᵃ/²⁴

Equating the base and solving for a

2 = a/24

a = 24×2

a = 48 hours.

Hence the time = 48 hours
