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.

Calculate the acceleration of a bus whose speed changes from 7 m/s to 16 m/s over a period of 5 s.
Bezzdna [24]
Let’s do this together!

Okay so the acceleration formula is vf-vi over time .

So the initial velocity (vi) 7m/s final velocity (vf) is 16m/s so we’re going to subtract 16-7 which is 9
M/s

So the time is 5s so 9m/s divided into 5s is 1.8m/s/2

So the answer is 1.8m\s2

A bullet with a mass of 0.02 kg is fired horizontally into a block of wood hanging on a string. The bullet sricks in the wood an
djyliett [7]

Answer:

u= 20.09 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m = 0.02 kg

M= 2 kg

h= 0.2 m

Lets take initial speed of bullet = u m/s

The final speed of the system will be zero.

From energy conservation

1/2 m u²+ 0 = 0+ (m+M) g h

m u²=2 (m+M) g h

By putting the values

0.02 x u² = 2 (0.02+2) x 10 x 0.2       ( take g=10 m/s²)

u= 20.09 m/s

The burning of a log releases the logs chemical_energy into other forms of energy
saul85 [17]

Answer:

When we burn wood we are releasing solar energy, in the form of heat, that has been stored in the wood as chemical energy. The process of photosynthesis converted solar energy, water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and the organic molecules that form the wood, half the weight of which is carbon.

A photographer wants to determine the color of light he can use in the darkroom that will not expose the films he is processing.
Sonbull [250]

For a photographer that wishes to determine the color of light that he can use in a dark room that will not expose the films he is processing, having used a Blue Incandescent bulb, he should proceed to use a Red Incandescent bulb for the next trial.

The photographer in question is performing an experiment. For these kinds of experiments it is important to identify the variables present, which can be of three kinds:

  1. Control variables
  2. Dependent variables
  3. Independent variables

For this experiment, the dependent variable is the exposure of the light onto the films, given that this is what we wish to measure. The independent variable will be the color of the light being used which is what will affect the dependent variable.

The remaining variable must be the control variable. Unlike the previous variables, we can have more than one of these. The control variable is there to make sure that only the dependent variable is affecting the outcome. We do this by keeping the control variable the same through each trial, which is why the photographer should not change the type of bulb in the second experiment, changing only the color of the light.
