The distance between the two cars is increasing at the rate of 85 mph.

A passenger in Car-1 says that he is at rest in his own frame of reference,
and Car-2 is moving away from him at 85 mph, toward the west.

Answer:

A. 85 mph west

Explanation:

Velocity of car 1 is given as

v_1 = 35 mph towards East

\vec v_1 = 35(-\hat i) mph

Velocity of car 2 is given as

v_2 = 50 mph towards West

\vec v_2 = 50 (\hat i) mph

Now we need to find the speed of car 2 with respect to the frame of car 1

so it is given as

\vec v_{21} = \vec v_2 - \vec v_1

now we will have

\vec v_{21} = 50 (\hat i) - 35 (-\hat i) = 85 \hat i

so the relative speed will be 85 mph towards West

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

3340800 m far

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that acceleration = 29 m/s²

Time of acceleration = 8 minutes

Then if the shuttle starts from rest, we have

S = u·t+0.5·a·t² where u = 0 m/s = initial velocity

S = distance traveled, m

a = acceleration of the motion, m/s²

t = time of travel

S = 0.5·a·t² = 0.5×29×(8×60)² = 3340800 m far

MrMuchimi

Answer:37^{\circ} North of west

Explanation:

Given

40,000-ton luxury line traveling 20 knots towards west and

60,000 ton freighter traveling towards North with 10 knots

suppose v is the common velocity after collision

conserving momentum in west direction

20\times 40,000=(20,000+60,000)v\cos \theta

suppose the final velocity makes \theta angle with x axis

v\cos \theta =10----1

Conserving Momentum in North direction

10\times 60,000=80,000\times v\sin\theta

v\sin \theta =\frac{15}{2}----2

divide 1 and 2

\tan \theta =\frac{3}{4}

\theta =37^{\circ}

so search in the area 37^{\circ} North of west to find the ship

HELP PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

Since binary is only 1 and 0, you can use a flashlight to display something similar to Morse code (see explanation below)

Explanation:

In binary, 1 means "on" and 0 means "off". A way you can use visible light is through turning on and off a flashlight. If the flashlight is turned on, it would represent a 1. If the flashlight is turned off, it would represent a 0. To make the message easier and more accurately understood for the receiver make sure to flash the lights in a consistent pattern (ex. each flash lasts no longer than half a second, one second between each digit, etc.)

For example, let's say you're trying to send the message "11001"

  on     on    off     off     on

0       1       2       3       4       5      <em>Numbers represent seconds</em>

As you can see above the message starts at 0 seconds. Between 0 and 1 seconds the flashlight is turned on once. Between 1 and 2 seconds the flashlight is turned on again, Between 2 and 3 seconds as well as 3 and 4 seconds the flashlight is not turned on at all. And finally between 4 and 5 seconds the flashlight is turned on.

2 resistors of resistance 1000 ohm and 2000 ohm are joined in series with a 100V supply. A voltmeter of internal resistance 4000
Vadim26 [7]
<h2>The voltmeter reading will be 35.7 volt </h2>

Explanation:

The resistor 1000 ohm and 4000 ohm are connected in parallel .

Their combined resistance is supposed R₁

Thus \frac{1}{R_1} = \frac{1}{1000} + \frac{1}{4000}  

or R₁ = 800 ohm

Therefore the total resistance in circuit is = 2000 + 800 = 2800 ohm

Because these are in series .

We can find  current flowing through the circuit  I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{100}{2800} = \frac{1}{28}

here R is total resistance .

The potential difference across 1000 ohm = \frac{1}{28} x 1000 = 35.7 volt

Thus voltmeter reading will be 35.7 volt
