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.

A toy train has an acceleration of 1.2 m/s2. A net force of 3.0 N is acting on the train. What is the mass of the train?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

2.5 kg

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

F is the net force acting on the train

m is the mass of the train

a is the acceleration

For the toy train in the problem,

F = 3.0 N

a = 1.2 m/s^2

So we can solve the formula for m, to find the mass of the train:

m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{3.0 N}{1.2 m/s^2}=2.5 kg

A student in the front of a school bus tosses a ball to another student in the back of the bus while the bus is moving forward a
Helga [31]

Answer:

d. may be either greater, smaller, or equal to that observed inside the bus.

Explanation:

  • The bus is moving at a constant speed. The ball tossed and received by the ball is inside the bus at a speed equal to the speed of the ball. Therefore the speed of the bus becomes zero with respect to the observer inside the bus.
  • Now the observer inside the bus noticed the ball from the inside of the bus, so he threw the ball back and forth from the ball with the speed v relative to the observer.
  • Now the observer outside the bus could see the bus moving at speed relative to its reference point and also throwing the ball from front to back. The speed of the ball to the observer outside the bus The speed of the bus to the observer outside the bus is minus the speed of the ball to the observer inside the bus.
  • Therefore, the ball speed = (u-v) relative to the observer outside the bus.
