Two trains travel toward each other on the same track, beginning 100 miles apart. One train travels at 40 miles per hour; the ot

her travels at 60 miles an hour. A bird starts flight at the same location as the faster train, flying at a speed of 90 miles per hour. When it reaches the slower train, it turns around, flying the other direction at the same speed. When it reaches the fastest train again, it turns around -- and so on. When the trains collide, how many miles the bird has flown.

D = distance between th two trains at the start of the motion = 100 miles

V = speed of the faster train towards slower train = 60 mph

v = speed of the slower train towards faster train = 40 mph

t = time taken by the two trains to collide = ?

time taken by the two trains to collide is given as

t = D/(V + v)

t = 100/(60 + 40) = 1 h

v' = speed of the bird = 90 mph

d = distance traveled by the bird

distance traveled by the bird is given as

d = v' t

d = 90 x 1

d = 90 miles

-- One train travels at 60 mph.  The other one travels at 40 mph.  So the space between them shrinks at the rate of 100 mph.

-- They start 100 miles apart, so they meet in 1 hour.

-- The bird and the trains all start moving at the same time, and the bird keeps flying in the space between them until they meet.  That's 1 hour.

-- The bird's speed is 90 mph.  So the bird covers <em>90 miles</em> in that hour.

-- After flying at 90 mph for a whole hour without resting, we can be sure that the bird is grateful to be put out of its misery.

The density of nuclear matter is about 1018 kg/m3. Given that 1 mL is equal in volume to 1 cm3, what is the density of nuclear m
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

density is 10^{6} Mg/µL

Explanation:

given data

density of nuclear = 10^{18} kg/m³

1 ml = 1 cm³

to find out

density of nuclear matter in Mg/µL

solution

we know here

1 Mg = 1000 kg

so

1 m³ is equal to 10^{6} cm³

and here 1 cm³ is equal to  1 mL

so we can say 1 mL is equal to 10³ µL

so by these we can convert density

density = 10^{18} kg/m³

density = 10^{18} kg/m³ × \frac{10^{-3} }{10^{6} }  Mg/µL

density =  10^{6} Mg/µL

How do electrons flow through a wire
aniked [119]

Every atom has electrons. When you add new electrons to the wire, they will be passed on to an atom. The electrons keep passing from atom to atom until it reaches the light source, basically. It's kinda like that one song "100 jugs of milk" or whatever it's called. Each atom passes the atom next to it an electron.

Which best symbolizes the hydrogen bonding between two water molecules?
Artemon [7]

The best symbolizes the hydrogen bonding between two water molecules is given in the diagram.

<h3 /><h3>What is hydrogen bonding?</h3>

A hydrogen bond is an attraction between an electronegative atom carrying a single pair of electrons—the hydrogen bond acceptor—and a hydrogen atom that is covalently bonded to a more electronegative "donor" atom or group.

One definition of a polar covalent bond is one in which one atom has a stronger alternation for electron negativity difference between two bonds, the more polar the link.

Polar molecules like H2O have a mild partial negative charge in one area and a partial positive charge in another.

A starship travels to a planet that is 20 light years away. The astronauts stay on the planet for 2.0 years before returning at
ad-work [718]

Answer:

astronauts age is 32 years

correct option is e 32 years

Explanation:

given data

travels = 20 light year

stay = 2 year

return = 52 years

to find out

astronauts aged

solution

we know here they stay 2 year so time taken in traveling is

time in traveling = ( 52 -2 )  = 50 year

so it mean 25 year in going and 25 years in return

and distance is given 20 light year

so speed will be

speed = distance / time

speed = 20 / 25 = 0.8 light year

so time is

time = \frac{t}{\sqrt{1-v^2} }

time =  \frac{25}{\sqrt{1-0.8^2} }

time = 15 year

so age is 15 + 2 + 15

so astronauts age is 32 years

so correct option is e 32 years
