Hope that helps!
The trains take <u>57.4 s</u> to pass each other.
Two trains A and B move towards each other. Let A move along the positive x axis and B along the negative x axis.
therefore,
The relative velocity of the train A with respect to B is given by,
If the train B is assumed to be at rest, the train A would appear to move towards it with a speed of 170 km/h.
The trains are a distance d = 2.71 km apart.
Since speed is the distance traveled per unit time, the time taken by the trains to cross each other is given by,
Substitute 2.71 km for d and 170 km/h for 
Express the time in seconds.
Thus, the trains cross each other in <u>57.4 s</u>.
Now I can actually edit my answer directly: I'm fairly sure I've got this wrong, and my mind has gone blank for how to do it, if someone could delete this that would be great and I'll think about it and see if I can figure it out!
Answer:
D = 2.38 m
Explanation:
This exercise is a diffraction problem where we must be able to separate the license plate numbers, so we must use a criterion to know when two light sources are separated, let's use the Rayleigh criterion, according to this criterion two light sources are separated if The maximum diffraction of a point coincides with the first minimum of the second point, so we can use the diffraction equation for a slit
a sin θ = m λ
Where the first minimum occurs for m = 1, as in these experiments the angle is very small, we can approximate the sine to the angle
θ = λ / a
Also when we use a circular aperture instead of slits, we must use polar coordinates, which introduce a numerical constant
θ = 1.22 λ / D
Where D is the circular tightness
Let's apply this equation to our case
D = 1.22 λ / θ
To calculate the angles let's use trigonometry
tan θ = y / x
θ = tan⁻¹ y / x
θ = tan⁻¹ (4.30 10⁻² / 140 10³)
θ = tan⁻¹ (3.07 10⁻⁷)
θ = 3.07 10⁻⁷ rad
Let's calculate
D = 1.22 600 10⁻⁹ / 3.07 10⁻⁷
D = 2.38 m

Answer:</h3>
49 N
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
- Mass of the brick as 3 kg
- The coefficient of friction as 0.6
We are required to determine the force that must be applied by the woman so the brick does not fall.
- We need to importantly note that;
- For the brick not to fall the, the force due to gravity is equal to the friction force acting on the brick.
- That is; Friction force = Mg
But; Friction force = μ F
Therefore;
μ F = mg
0.6 F = 3 × 9.8
0.6 F = 29.4
F = 49 N
Therefore, she must use a force of 49 N
