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.

Which of the following most logically completes the argument below?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

  (E) a greatly increased number of small particles in Earth’s orbit would result in a blanket of reflections that would make certain valuable telescope observations impossible

Explanation:

The trade is one strong reflection for many weak reflections (and more dangerous near-Earth space travel).

None of the answer choices except the last one has anything to do with the effect of exploding a satellite. When you are arguing that exploding a satellite is ill conceived, you need to address specifically the effects of exploding the satellite.

If an object's kinetic energy is zero, what is its momentum?
hammer [34]
If the object's kinetic energy is zero, then due to in multiplication factor, it's momentum will also be equal to zero 'cause the velocity of the object must be Nil

In short, Your Answer would be: "Zero"

Hope this helps!
