A freight train leaves the train station 4hrs before a passenger train. The two trains are traveling in the same direction on pa

rallel tracks. If the rate of the passenger train is 40 mph faster than the freight train, how fast is each train traveling if the passenger train passes the freight train in 6hrs?

It can be said that most of the required information's are already given in the question. 
Let us assume the speed of the passenger train = x
Speed of the freight train = y
x = y + 40
The second equation will be 
6 * x = 10 * y
6x = 10y
Dividing both sides by 2, we get
3x = 5y
x = 5y/3
Putting the value of "x" in the first equation, we get
x = y + 40
5y/3 = y + 40
5y = 3y + 120
5y - 3y = 120
2y = 120
y = 60 mph
Putting the value of y in the first equation, we get
x = y + 40
   = 60 + 40
   = 100 mph
From the above deduction, we can conclude that the passenger train is traveling at 100 mph and the freight train is traveling at 60 mph.

A cylinder of mass 14.0 kg rolls without slipping on a horizontal surface. At a certain instant its center of mass has a speed o
aev [14]

Answer:

a) 567J

b) 283.5J

c)850.5J

Explanation:

The expression for the translational kinetic energy is,

E_r = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Substitute,

14kg for m

9m/s for v

E_r = \frac{1}{2} (14) (9)^2\\= 567J

The translational kinetic energy of the center of mass is 567J

(B)

The expression for the rotational kinetic energy is,

E_R = \frac{1}{2} Iw^2

The expression for the moment of inertia of the cylinder is,

I = \frac{1}{2} mr^2

The expression for angular velocity is,

w = \frac{v}{r}

substitute

1/2mr² for I

and vr for w

in equation for rotational kinetic energy as follows:

E_R = (\frac{1}{2}) (\frac{1}{2} mr^2)(\frac{v}{r} )^2

= \frac{mv^2}{4}

E_R = \frac{14 \times 9^2 }{4} \\\\= 283.5J

The rotational kinetic energy of the center of mass is 283.5J

(c)

The expression for the total energy is,

E = E_r + E_R\\\\

substitute 567J for E(r) and 283.5J for E(R)

E = 567J + 283.5\\= 850.5J

The total energy of the cylinder is 850.5J

A rectangular barge, 5.2 m long and 2.4 m wide, floats in fresh water. Suppose that a 410-kg crate of auto parts is loaded onto
sesenic [268]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The depth of barge float=3 cm</h2><h2>Explanation:</h2>

Length of rectangular barge=5.2 m

Width of rectangular barge=2.4m

Mass of crate=410 kg

Let h be the height of barge float

Volume of barge float=l\times b\times h=5.2\times 2.4\times h=12.48h

Density of water=10^3kg/m^3

Weight of water displaced by barge=Buoyant force=-Weight of horse

Volume\;of\;water\times density\;of\;water\times g=410\times g

12.48h\times 1000=410

h=\frac{410}{12.48\times 1000}=0.03 m

1 m=100 cm

0.03 m=0.03\times 100=3cm

Hence, the depth of barge float=3 cm

A cubical surface surrounds a point charge q . Describe what happens to the total flux through the surface if (c) the surface is
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Gauss law states that the electric flux is defined as the electric field multiplied by the area of the surface in a plane perpendicular to the field.

Explanation:

Mathematically,

Φ=Q ϵo

Where;

Q is enclosed charge

ϵo is the permittivity of the free space

According to Gauss law, which states that the electric flux is defined as the electric field multiplied by the area of the surface in a plane perpendicular to the field.

Φ=Q ϵo

Where;

Q is enclosed charge

ϵo is the permittivity of the free space

If the cube is transformed into a sphere the total flux in the electric field remains unchanged or remains the same. This is because the gaussian law does not postulate that electric flux is dependent on the object in a plane. Hence, the transformation of the cube to a sphere does not affect the electric flux generated in the field.

The change of energy from one type to another; for example, kinetic to potential, or kinetic
Elena L [17]

Answer:Broadly speaking, all energy in the universe can be categorized as either potential energy or kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy associated with position, like a ball held up in the air. When you let go of that ball and let it fall, the potential energy converts into kinetic energy, or the energy associated with motion.

EXAMPLES: There are five types of kinetic energy: radiant, thermal, sound, electrical and mechanical. Let's explore several kinetic energy examples to better illustrate these various forms.
