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 90 kg body is taken to a planet where the acceleration due to
Serggg [28]

Answer:

2250N

Explanation:

W= mg,

where W= weight

m= mass

g= acceleration due to gravity

Given that the body is 90kg, m= 90kg.

Acceleration due to gravity of planet

= 2.5(10)

= 25 m/s²

Weight of body on planet

= 90(25)

= 2250N

*Mass is the amount of matter an object has and is constant (same on earth and the planet).

Kinetic energy is the energy of
Alina [70]

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

The formula for kinetic energy is given as

KE = (0.5) m v²

where m = mass of object , v = speed of object.

an object having some speed and mass will have kinetic energy while an object at rest will not have any kinetic energy since the speed of object at rest is zero.

Since at rest speed is zero. an object has kinetic energy only when it is in motion.

A 15-kg block at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a very light ideal spring of force constant 450 N/m. T
den301095 [7]

Answer:

0.266 m

Explanation:

Assuming the lump of patty is 3 Kg then applying the principal of conservation of linear momentum,

P= mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is the speed of an object. In this case

m_pv_p=v_c(m_p+m_b) where sunscripts p and b represent putty and block respectively, c is common velocity.

Substituting the given values then

3*8=v(15+3)

V=24/18=1.33 m/s

The resultant kinetic energy is transferred to spring hence we apply the law of conservation of energy

0.5(m_p+m_b)v_c^{2}=0.5kx^{2} where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring. Substituting the given values then

(3+15)*1.33^{2}=450*x^{2}\\x\approx 0.266 m

What are the three ways of answering a scientific question
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Let's start by understanding what exactly a scientific question is. A scientific question is a question that may lead to a hypothesis and help us in answering (or figuring out) the reason for some observation. A good scientific question has certain characteristics. It should have some answers (real answers), should be testable.

Here's examples of a few:

Why is that a star?

or

What is that star made of?

Hope this can lead you to the answer you're looking for at least!!
