D. The red car is moving faster than the blue car
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>The initial distance between the trains is 1450 m.
</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
In the question two trains are of equal length 400 m and moves at a uniform speed of 72 km/h. train A is moving ahead of train B. If the train B has to overtake train A it should accelerate.
Train B’s acceleration is
and it accelerated for 50 seconds.
<em>
</em>
<em>t=50 s
</em>
<em>initial speed u=72km/h
</em>
<em>we have to convert this speed into m/s </em>
<em>
</em>
<em>Distance covered in accelerating phase
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>
</em>
If a train is just behind another, the distance covered by the train located behind during overtaking phase will be equal to the sum of the lengths of the trains.
<em>Here length of train A+length of train
</em>
<em>Hence the initial distance between the trains =
</em>
The object will move if the forces are unbalanced.
Newtons second tells you that when a net force (the unbalanced force) is applied to and object it will produce an acceleration (movement) in direct proportion to the force and in inverse proportion to the mass of the object.
