Time needed = t = 20.83 s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

car speed = 85 km/h

truck speed = 73 km/h

Required

the time it takes for the car to reach the truck

Solution

When the car reaches the truck, the distance between them will be the same

x car - 250 m = x truck

General formula for distance (d) :

d = v.t

So the equation becomes :

85t-250 = 73t

12t=250

t = 20.83 s

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

temperature on left side is 1.48 times the temperature on right

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

\gamma = 5/3

T1 = 525 K

T2 = 275 K

We know that

P_1 = \frac{nRT_1}{v}

P_2 = \frac{nrT_2}{v}

n and v remain same at both side. so we have

\frac{P_1}{P_2} = \frac{T_1}{T_2} = \frac{525}{275} = \frac{21}{11}

P_1 = \frac{21}{11} P_2 ..............1

let final pressure is P and temp  T_1 {f} and T_2 {f}

P_1^{1-\gamma} T_1^{\gamma} = P^{1 - \gamma}T_1 {f}^{\gamma}

P_1^{-2/3} T_1^{5/3} = P^{-2/3} T_1 {f}^{5/3} ..................2

similarly

P_2^{-2/3} T_2^{5/3} = P^{-2/3} T_2 {f}^{5/3} .............3

divide 2 equation by 3rd equation

\frac{21}{11}^{-2/3} \frac{21}{11}^{5/3} = [\frac{T_1 {f}}{T_2 {f}}]^{5/3}

T_1 {f} = 1.48 T_2 {f}

thus, temperature on left side is 1.48 times the temperature on right

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

U = - G m M / r

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is given by the expression

         U = - G m₁ m₂ / r

dodne G is the gravitational cosntnate (G = 6.67 10⁻¹¹¹), m and m are the mass of the bodies involved

subtype the given values

         U = - G m M / r

The Pony Express
Chapter 1
At A Nation's Crisis
The Pony Express was the first rapid transit and the first fost mail line across the continent from the Missouri River to the Pacific Coast. It was a system
by means of which messages were carried swiftly on horseback across the plains and deserts, and over the mountains of the far West It brought the
Adontic coost and the Pacific slope ten days nearer to each other.
It had a brief existence of only sixteen months and was supplanted by the transcontinental telegraph. Yet it was of the greatest importance in
binding the East and West together at a time when overland travel was slow and cumbersome, and when a great national crisis made the rapid
communication of news between these sections an imperative necessity.
The Pony Express marked the highest development in overland travel prior to the coming of the Pacific railroad, which it preceded nine years.
It, in fact, proved the feasibility of a transcontinental road and demonstrated that such a line could be built and operated continuously the year
around-a feat that had always been regarded as impossible.
The operation of the Pony Express was a supreme achievement of physical endurance on the part of man and his ever faithful companion, the
horse. The history of this organization should be a lasting monument to the physical sacrifice of man and beast in an effort to accomplish
something worthwhile. Its history should be an enduring tribute to American courage and American organizing genius.
