Runner A is initially 6.0 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 9.0 km/h due east. Runner B is initia

lly 5.0 km east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 8.0 km/h due west. What will be the distance of the two runners from the flagpole when their paths cross? (It is not necessary to convert your answer from kilometers to meters for this problem. You may leave it in kilometers.)

Answer:

0.176m from the flagpole, westward.

Explanation:

Let the Eastward be the positive direction. So initially runner A is at position -6km, running with velocity of 9km/h while runner B is at position 5km running at a velocity of -8km/h. We can conduct the following equation for their distances over the same time t

s_A = -6 + 9t

s_B = 5 - 8t

When A an B meets, they are at the same position and at the same time. So

s_A = s_B

-6 +9t = 5 - 8t

17t = 5 + 6 = 11

t = 11/17 = 0.647 s

s_A = -6 + 9*0.647 = -0.176 m

So where they meet is 0.176m from the flagpole, westward.

What is air masses? And 5 effect of it​
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

an air mass is a volume of air defined by its temperature and water vapor content. Air masses cover many hundreds or thousands of miles, and adapt to the characteristics of the surface below them. They are classified according to latitude and their continental or maritime source regions. Colder air masses are termed polar or arctic, while warmer air masses are deemed tropical. Continental and superior air masses are dry while maritime and monsoon air masses are moist. Weather fronts separate air masses with different density (temperature and/or moisture) characteristics. Once an air mass moves away from its source region, underlying vegetation and water bodies can quickly modify its character.When winds move air masses, they carry their weather conditions (heat or cold, dry or moist) from the source region to a new region. When the air mass reaches a new region, it might clash with another air mass that has a different temperature and humidity. This can create a severe storm.

Air masses can affect the weather because of different air masses that are different in temperature, density, and moisture. When two different air masses meet a front forms. This is one way air masses effect our weather.

Why does sound propagate faster in solid bodies than in liquids and faster in liquids than in air?
storchak [24]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

this is because particles in solids are packed very closely together, thus , the particles collide with each other frequently and thus transfer of energy is faster. however, particles in liquid are closely packed but not as close as in solid so the particles do not collide as frequently. thus, transfer of energy slower than in solid. furthermore, the particles in gas are spaced far apart from each other, thus the particles don't collide with each other frequently, thus transfer of energy is very slow in gas.

hope you get it,

please mark

Explain how water circulates from deep oceans to the surface.
Alexxandr [17]
"These deep-ocean currents are driven by differences in the water's density, which is controlled by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline). This process is known as thermohaline circulation. In the Earth's polar regions ocean watergets very cold, forming sea ice." this is what I found...
