Two trains 100 km apart are traveling toward each other along the same track. The first train goes 50 km per hour; the second tr

ain rushes along at 80 km per hour. A fly is hovering just above the nose of the first train. It buzzes from the first train to the second train, turns around immediately, flies back to the first train, and turns around again. It goes on flying back and forth between the two trains until they collide. If the fly's speed is 120 km per hour, how far will it travel(how much distance it will cover before colliding )?

Answer:

92.31 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Combined speed = 50+80

= 130 km/hour

Time = 100/130 = 10/13 hours to collide

Speed × time = distance

distance = 10/13 × 120

= 92.30769231 km

The distances between the two points, in units, are given as follows:

7. \sqrt{2}

8. 2\sqrt{17}

9. 3\sqrt{2}

10. 3\sqrt{5}

The midpoints are given as follows:

11. (7,-4.5).

12. (2,4).

13. (7,0.5).

14. (5.5,-1.5).

<h3>What is the distance between two points?</h3>

Suppose that we have two points, (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2). The distance between them is given by:

D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

For item 7, the points are (-3,-2) and (-4,-3), hence the distance is:

D = \sqrt{(-4 + 3)^2 + (-3 + 2)^2} = \sqrt{2}

For item 8, the points are (-3,1) and (5,3), hence the distance is:

D = \sqrt{(5 + 3)^2 + (3 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{68} = 2\sqrt{17}

For item 9, the points are (-3,0) and (0,-3), hence the distance is:

D = \sqrt{(0 + 3)^2 + (-3 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{18} = 3\sqrt{2}

For item 10, the points are (1,-2) and (4,4), hence the distance is:

D = \sqrt{(4 - 1)^2 + (4 + 2)^2} = \sqrt{45} = 3\sqrt{5}

<h3>What is the midpoint concept?</h3>

The midpoint between two points is the halfway point between them, and is found using the mean of the coordinates.

Hence, for item 11, the midpoint is given by:

[0.5(9 + 5), 0.5(1-10)] = (7,-4.5).

For item 12, the midpoint is given by:

[0.5(-5 + 9), 0.5(7 + 1)] = (2,4).

For item 13, the midpoint is given by:

[0.5(9 + 5), 0.5(9 - 8)] = (7,0.5).

For item 14, the midpoint is given by:

[0.5(10 + 1), 0.5(4 - 7)] = (5.5,-1.5).

Plug in 0 into x of the equation y=2x+3, solve it, then take that answer and use that as your y then plug in the answer for y and solve for x. (i realized i am very bad at explaining this over this. Sorry I tried)
