Two locomotives approach each other on parallel tracks. Each have a speed of 95 km/h with respect to the ground. If they are ini

tially 8.5km apart, how long will it be before they reach each other?

If they are both  traveling with the same speed that means that they will reach other in the middle of the line initially between them. In other word, each will have to travel the same amount before they reach other. 

Now you can calculate the time it takes for only one locomotive to travel half of the total distance between them, and that time is equal to the time you are looking for.

Use 
   t =  S1/2 / v

  where t-time, S-distance traveled , v-velocity

A 13 kg hanging sculpture is suspended by a 95-cm-long, 5.0 g steel wire. When the wind blows hard, the wire hums at its fundame
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

f=81.96 \ Hz

Explanation:

Givens

L=95cm

m_{sculpture} =13kg

m_{wire}=5g

The frequency is defined by

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

Where v is the speed of the wave in the string and \lambda is its wave length.

The wave length is defined as \lambda = 2L = 2(0.95m)=1.9m

Now, to find the speed, we need the tension of the wire and its linear mass density

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }

Where \mu=\frac{0.005kg}{0.95m}= 5.26 \times 10^{-3} and the tension is defined as T=m_{sculpture} g=13kg(9.81 m/s^{2} )=127.53N

Replacing this value, the speed is

v=\sqrt{\frac{127.53N}{5.26 \times 10^{-3} } }=155.71 m/s

Then, we replace the speed and the wave length in the first equation

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}\\f=\frac{155.71 m/s}{1.9m}\\ f=81.96Hz

Therefore, the frequency is f=81.96 \ Hz

What is the mechanical advantage of a pulley system​
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Pulleys accomplish 2 separate operations throughout the computer controlled additional benefit technologies listed elsewhere here.

Explanation:

  • If indeed the pulley would be connected to that same attachment point, these are named a corrected pendulum or perhaps a change in direction. Its job should be to reverse the trajectory of that same rope pull.  
  • Unless the pulley would be connected to that same load, this same pulley seems to be a detachable as well as a mechanical additional benefit.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

(D) a brief early period of hyper rapid expansion of space-time.

Explanation:

Cosmic inflation is a theory which states that in an interval of 10⁻³⁶ seconds to around 10⁻³³ seconds after the big bang there was a massive expansion.

According to the big bang theory the universe came to be from a singularity i.e., a point of infinite gravitational field. The universe is expanding this means that according to the conservation of energy the universe was expanding from the beginning.

Two cars having different weights are traveling on a level surface at different constant velocities. Within the same time interv
GuDViN [60]

I think you're saying that once you start pushing on the cars, you want to be able to stop each one in the same time. 

This is sneaky.  At first, I thought it must be both 'c' and 'd'.  But it's not
kinetic energy, for reasons I'm not ambitious enough to go into.
(And besides, there's no great honor awarded around here for explaining
why any given choice is NOT the answer.)

The answer is momentum.

Momentum is (mass x speed).  Change in momentum is (force x time).

No matter the weight (mass) or speed of the car, the one with the greater
momentum is always the one that will require the greater (force x time)
to stop it.  If the time is the same for any car, then more momentum
will always require more force.
