Two trains run in the same direction. The one behind has double the length of the one ahead. The initial distance of separation

= 200 m. The speeds are(a) train in front = 36 km/h(b) train behind = 108 km/h. If it took 40 seconds for the longer train to overtake the shorter one , find the length of the shorter train.

Answer:

The shorter train has a length of 600m

Explanation:

The equation of motion of the first train can be written as:

x'=v't  (1)

v' = 108km/h = 30m/s

Furthermore, you can write the equation of motion of the second train as:

x=(200+l)+vt  = xo + vt  (2)

v = 36km/h = 10m/s

where you have taken the initial position as measured from the front of the first train to the front of the second one. l is the length of the second train and 200 the separation of it respect to the first train.

For t = 40 both trains have the same position, that is, x=x'. Then, you equal equations (1) and (2), replace t=40, and solve the equation for l:

x'=x\\\\v't=200+l+vt\\\\(30m/s)(40s)=200+l+(10m/s)(40s)\\\\l=600m

Hence, the first train has a length of 600 m

The train behind, or the second train, has twice the length of the first train:

l'=2l=2(600m)=1200m

The shorter train has a length of 600m

Nady [450]
Based on your problem where as ask for the distance of the ball drop between the pitchers mound and the home plate and with a given of the speed of ball is 43m/s and the homeplates is 60.6ft away. Based on my step by step procedure and also considering the value of gravity by 9.8m/s^2 i came up with the distance of 144m away

Winds tend to rotate in a counter clockwise direction in the ___ (northern or southern) Hemisphere as they move into a low press
lana [24]

Answer:

Winds tend to rotate in a counter clockwise direction in the center of northern and southern hemisphere.

Explanation:

The wind blows clockwise around a high pressure area  in the northern hemisphere and the wind blows counter - clockwise around low pressure.  

In the northern hemisphere High-pressure systems rotate clockwise direction and in the southern hemisphere  low-pressure systems rotate clockwise direction.

crimeas [40]

The macromolecule that is made up of subunits that are called amino acids are the protein. The answer is therefore letter D. The carbohydrates are made up of subunits called monosaccarides. The lipids are mades up of subunits referred to as the fatty acid while nucleic acid are made up of nucleotides.

3. In some countries AC outlets near bathtubs are restricted to a maximum of 25 V to minimize the chance of dangerous shocks whi
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The average resistivity of the human body (apart from surface resistance of the skin) is about 5.0 Ωm. The conducting path between the right and left hands can be approximated as cylinder 1.6 m long and 0.10 m in diameter. The skin resistance can be made negligible by soaking the hands in salt water. (a) What is the resistance between the hands if the skin resistance is negligible? (b) if skin resistance is negligible, what potential difference between the hands is needed for lethal shock current 100 mA?

Solution:

The resistance (R) of a material is given by the formula:

R = ρL / A

where L is the length of the conductor, ρ is resistivity and A is the cross sectional area.

a) R = ρL / A

ρ = 5.0 Ωm, L = 1.6 m, A = π(diameter²) / 4 = π(0.1²)/4 = 0.00785 m²

R = 5(1.6) / 0.00785 = 1018.6 ohm

b) To produce 100 mA, we need to use ohms law:

I = 100 mA = 0.1 A, R = 1018.6 ohm

V = IR = 0.1(1018.6)

V = 101.86 V
