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

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

The knee extensors insert on the tibia at an angle of 30 degrees (from the longitudinal axis of the tibia), at a distance of 3 c
Reika [66]

Answer:

the knee extensors must exert 15.87 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass m = 4.5 kg

radius of gyration k = 23 cm = 0.23 m

angle ∅ = 30°

∝ = 1 rad/s²

distance of 3 cm from the axis of rotation at the knee r = 3 cm = 0.03 m

using the expression;

ζ = I∝

ζ = mk²∝

we substitute

ζ = 4.5 × (0.23)² × 1

ζ  = 0.23805 N-m

so

from; ζ = rFsin∅

F = ζ / rsin∅

we substitute

F = 0.23805 / (0.03 × sin( 30 ° )

F = 0.23805 / (0.03 × 0.5)

F F = 0.23805 / 0.015

F = 15.87 N

Therefore, the knee extensors must exert 15.87 N

In what speed does an object fall, if after 10 seconds it hits the surface of Earth?​
Maru [420]

Answer:

98m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time  = 10s

Unknown:

Final speed  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below;

          v  = u + gt

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity  = 0m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

t is the time

   so;

         v = 0 + 9.8 x 10  = 98m/s

A sky-diver jumps from a stationary balloon. His initial downwards acceleration is 10m/s².
Tatiana [17]

Explanation:

a. The force acting down is gravity, on Earth gravity is 10 m/s^2. When the skydiver jump, the acceleration will start out as -10 m/s^2, but it will eventually equals the air resistance , which is called terminal velocity.
