Two cars are traveling in the same direction down a highway at 65 miles per hour. What is the relative velocity of the second ca
1 answer:
Answer:
5 hours
Explanation:
Let the required time be x hours. The time will be the same for both cars.
The cars will cover different distances because they are travelling at different speeds.
<em>D=S×T </em>
The distance travelled by the slower car = 50×x miles.
The distance travelled by the faster car = 58×x miles.
The two distances differ by 40 miles.
58x−50x=40
8x=40
x=5 hours
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A second method:
The difference in the distances is 40 miles
The difference in the speeds is #8mph.
The time to make up the 40 miles= =5 hours

Answer:
T = 2.83701481512 seconds
Explanation:
Hi!
The formula that you will want to use to solve this question is:
T--> period
L --> length of the pendulum
g --> acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2)
since we know that the mass of the bob at the end of the pendulum does not affect the period of the pendulum, we can go ahead and ignore that bit of information (unless, of course, the weight causes the pendulum to stretch)
so now we can plug in our given info into the formula above and solve!
T = 2*pi * sqrt(2/9.8)
T = 2.83701481512 seconds
*Note*
- I used 3.14 to pi, if you need to use a different value for pi (a longer version, etc) your answer will be slightly different
I hope this helped!
