Answer:
It will take 2.68 minutes for them to reach each other.
Explanation:
We use the two following kinematic equations, making the final position the same (for the moment they meet each other):
locomotive 1 --> 
locomotive 2 --> 
we make the two xf equal, and solve for the time (t) using v = 95 km/h:
converting the hours into minutes by multiplying this value times 60;
t = 2.68 minutes
Answer:
An object at rest does not move and an object in motion does not change its velocity, unless an external force acts upon it
Explanation:
This statement is also known as Newton's first law, or law of inertia.
It states that the state of motion of an object can be changed only if there is an external force (different from zero) acting on it: therefore
- If an object is at rest, it will remain at rest if there is no force acting on it
- If an object is moving, it will continue moving at constant velocity if there is no force acting on it
This phenomenon can be also understood by looking at Newton's second law:
F = ma
where
F is the net force on an object
m is the mass
a is the acceleration
If the net force is zero, F = 0, the acceleration of the object is also zero, a = 0: therefore, the velocity of the object does not change, and it will continue moving at the same velocity (which can be zero, if the object was at rest).
We can assume the process to be adiabatic such that we can make use of the formula:
W = R (T2 - T1) / (γ - 1)
W = 8.314 (297 - 17) / (1.4 - 1)
W = 700 J/mole
multiplying the number of moles
W = 700 (0.43)
W = 301 J
The work done is 301 J.
