We can answer this using one of the equations of linear motion:

v = d / t

where:

v = velocity

d = distance

t = time

<span>In the problem, we are asked to find for the time in which Driver B will catch up to Driver A. Therefore,  find the time when dA = dB. Rearranging the equation and equation dA and dB will result in:</span>

<span>vA * tA = vB * tB  ---> 1</span>

It was given that:

vA = 68 mph

tA = tB + 3 (since person A was travelling 3 hours earlier)

vB = 85 mph

tB = unknown

Substituting into equation 1:

68 * (tB + 3) = 85 * tB

68 tB + 204 = 85 tB

tB = 12 hrs

Therefore driver B would catch up to driver A after 12 hrs.

Explain why fishes survive in ponds even when the temperature is below 0°c
zmey [24]

Answer:

After sufficient thickness of ice is formed it prevents further loss of heat from the bottom layers of water. This is why fishes and other aquatic animals and plants can survive in ponds and other water bodies even when the atmospheric temperature reaches or is well below 0 degrees.The anomalous expansion of water helps preserve aquatic life during very cold weather. When temperature falls, the top layer of water in a pond contracts becomes denser and sinks to the bottom. ... Thus, even though the upper layer are frozen, the water near the bottom is at 4°C and the fishes can survive in it easily.

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) I = ½mR² = ½(19)(0.15²) = 0.21375 kg•m²

b) τ = Fnet(r) = (25 - 12)(0.15) = 1.95 N•m

c) CCW

d) a = τ/I = 1.95 / 0.21375 = 9.12280701... = 9.1 rad/s²

e) CCW
