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

The change in kinetic energy of the car is equivalent to the change in its potential energy. Thus:

Are light waves longitudinal or transverse
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

There are two types of waves, according to the direction of their oscillation:

- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves

- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

Light waves corresponds to the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes all the different types of electromagnetic waves (which consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave): therefore, they are transverse waves.

The magnetic strips on credit cards can become demagnetized. What type of magnet are they?
Damm [24]
I think you're fishing for "temporary magnet" or something like that,
but I don't agree with it. 

Credit card strips, refrigerator magnets, recording tape, bar magnets,
and big heavy horseshoe magnets are permanent magnets ... you don't
have to keep an electric current circulating around them to make them
magnetic. 

But that doesn't mean that they stay magnetic no matter WHAT you do
to them.  They can be DEmagnetized by being heated, dropped on the
floor, hit with a hammer, or in the presence of another, stronger magnet.
