Answer:

4.95 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that the speed of the cars are constant and not accelerating

The relative speed between the two cars will be the difference in their speeds

S_r=60-20\\\Rightarrow S_r=40\ km/h

Converting to m/s

1\ km/h=\frac{1}{3.6}\ m/s

\\\Rightarrow 40\ km/h=40\times \frac{1}{3.6}\ m/s\\ =\frac{100}{9}\ m/s\\ =11.11\ m/s

Time = Distance / Speed

Time=\frac{55}{\frac{100}{9}}=4.95\ seconds

Time it would take the faster car to cross the slower car is 4.95 seconds

A suspension mixture has a heterogeneous mixture.

It is known that birds can detect the earth's magnetic field, but the mechanism of how they do this is not known. It has been su
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

A) 0.50 mV

Explanation:

In this problem, we can think the wings of the bird as a metal rod moving across a magnetic field. So, and emf will be induced into the wings of the bird, according to the formula:

\epsilon = BvL sin \theta

where

B=5\cdot 10^{-5} T is the strength of the magnetic field

v = 13 m/s is the speed of the bird

L = 1.2 m is the wingspan of the bird

\theta=40^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of motion and the direction of the magnetic field

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find

\epsilon = (5.0\cdot 10^{-5} T)(13 m/s)(1.2 m) sin 40^{\circ}=0.00050 V = 0.50 mV

hram777 [196]

These are the Kepler's laws of planetary motion.

This law relates a planet's orbital period and its average distance to the Sun. - Third law of Kepler.

The orbits of planets are ellipses with the Sun at one focus. - First law of Kepler.

The speed of a planet varies, such that a planet sweeps out an equal area in equal time frames. - Second law of Kepler.

Does a black hole have 2 sides that pull light together?
Ostrovityanka [42]
Check this Light doesn't have mass or gravity right?
So if it doesn't have mass or gravity so light can only affect objects with mass
Does that make sense?
The black hole has gravity and remember light doesn't have gravity so does it affect the light?
To answer that yes, and since light doesn't have gravity it gets "pulled" into the black hole

I hope this helps you
