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.

In each case, lifting or pushing, why must you exert a force to move the object? Q1-2: How much more effort is required to lift
musickatia [10]

Answer:

  1. Newton's first law applies. An object at rest will stay that way until a force is applied.
  2. Any amount of effort can be applied to any amount of mass (in the ideal case). The question is not sufficiently specific.

Explanation:

A force is required to move an object because the object will stay at rest until a force is applied.

__

The effort required to lift or push two masses instead of one depends on the desired effect. For the same kinetic energy, no more effort is required. For the same momentum, half the effort is required for two masses. For the same velocity, double the effort is required.

What is the velocity of a penny dropped from the roof after 5 seconds?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

49 m/s

Explanation:

Acceleration = velocity / time

You should know accleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 and you're given t = 5, so you can solve for velocity:

9.8 = v / 5

v = 49

Which form of Kepler’s third law can you use to relate the period T and radius r of a planet in our solar system as long as the
ser-zykov [4K]

T2=r In the form of Kepler's law that can use to relate the period T and radius of the planet in our solar systems

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Kepler's third law:</u>

  • Kepler's third law states that For all planets, the square of the orbital

     period (T) of a planet is proportional to the cube of the average orbital    radius (R).

  • In simple words T (square) is proportional to the R(cube) T²2 ∝1 R³3
  • T2 / R3 = constant = 4π ² /GM

      where G = 6.67 x 10-11 N-m2 /kg2

        M = mass of the foci body
