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

An ideal solenoid having a coil density of 5000 turns per meter is 10 cm long and carries a current of 4.0
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
The rule that is used to get the strength of magnetic field at the center of solenoid (B) is:
B = <span>µ x n x I where:
</span>µ is the permeability of the medium where the solenoid is based. In this problem, the medium is air which means that µ = <span>µ </span><span>o = 4 pi x 10^-7 Tm/A
</span>I is the current passing (I = 4 amperes)
n is the number of turns per unit length (5000 turns)

Substituting in the mentioned equation, we find that:
B = 4 x 3.14 x 10^-7 x 5000 x 4 = 25.132 mT

A box has a mass of 400 g. What minimum force is needed to lift it?
mart [117]

Answer: 3.92 N.

Explanation:

Your box weighs 400g, or 0.4kg. In order to lift it, you need to overcome the force of gravity. F = ma, and acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 m/s^2. So gravity acts on the box with a force of 0.4 kg * -9.8 m/s^2 = -3.92 N. A force of +3.92 N is required to overcome this.

allsm [11]
Answer:
These are the two statements with scientific facts that explain the described phenomenon
<span>
Gravitation between two objects increases when the distance between them decreases.</span>

When the mass of an object increases, its gravitational pull also increases.

Justification:

Those two facts are represented in the Universal Law of Gravity discovered by the scientific Sir Isaac Newton (1642 to 1727) and published in his book <span>Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica.</span>

That law is represented by the equation:

F = G × m₁ × m₂ / d²

The product of the two masses on the numerator accounts for the fact that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses, which is that as the masses increase the attraction also increase.

The term d² (square of the distance that separates the objects) in the denominator accounts for the fact that the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance; that is as the separation of the objects increase the gravitational force decrease.
