Answer: they would be 300 miles from the station.

Explanation:

At the point where both trains meet, they would have covered the same distance.

Let t represent the time spent by the first train in covering this distance.

Distance = speed × time

The first train leaves the station and travels north at 60km/hr.

Distance covered by the first train is

60 × t = 60t

Two hours later, a second train leaves on a parallel track and travels north at 100km/hr. Time spent by the second train in covering this distance is (t - 2) hours

Distance covered by the second train is

100(t - 2) = 100t - 200

Since both trains covered the same distance, then

100t - 200 = 60t

100t - 60t = 200

40t = 200

t = 200/40

t = 5 hours

The distance that they would be from the station is

60 × 5 = 300 miles

Define extensive and intensive properties of thermodynamic system.
Flura [38]

Answer:

An intense property is a physical attribute of a system that is independent of the size of the system or the quantity of material it contains. An extensive property of a system, on the other hand, is dependent on the size of the system or the amount of material in it.

Fill in the empty function so that it returns the sum of all the divisors of a number, without including it. A divisor is a numb
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

// Program is written in C++

// Comments are used to explain some lines

// Only the required function is written. The main method is excluded.

#include<bits/stdc++.h>

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int divSum(int num)

{

// The next line declares the final result of summation of divisors. The variable declared is also

//initialised to 0

int result = 0;

// find all numbers which divide 'num'

for (int i=2; i<=(num/2); i++)

{

// if 'i' is divisor of 'num'

if (num%i==0)

{

if (i==(num/i))

result += i; //add divisor to result

else

result += (i + num/i); //add divisor to result

}

}

cout<<result+1;

}
