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 pulled tablecloth exerts a frictional force of 0.6 n on a plate with a mass of 0.4 kg. what is the acceleration of the plate?
Ludmilka [50]
The formula for acceleration is a = F/m; Where: F = force; m = mass
Given: F = .6n; m = .4kg; a = ?
a = F/m
  = .6/.4
  = 1.5

Therefore, the acceleration of the plate is 1.5 m/s^2

9. Since current is the rate at which charge is flowing, if the current in the circuit decreases, what does that mean about the
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Electric current is defined as the rate of flow of electric charge in a circuit from point one point to another. This is carried by electrically charged particles within the circuit. Current is represented by the symbol I and its unit measured in Amperes. It is therefore related to the voltage and resistance of the circuit. If the current in the circuit reduces, the rate at which the charge and current on the capacitor reduces also proportionally in an exponential manner.

Explanation:

Since a decrease in the flow of current in the circuit is observed, the implication for the rate at which the charge and voltage on the capacitor is also an exponential decrease in the rate of flow with time. This is because the electric current is directly proportional to the electric charge and the time.

Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by is 4.0 second
Anit [1.1K]
The amplitude of a wave can be obtained by measuring the distance from the resting position of the wave to its crest. The resting position is half of the distance from the crest to the trough. Given that the distance between the crest and the trough is 3 meters, the amplitude should be half of that, which is 1.5 meters.
