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= \frac{40}{8}=5 hours

Displacement vectors of 4 km north, 2 km south, 5 km north, and 5 km south combine to a total displacement of
valentinak56 [21]

south = -(north)

Displacement = (4 km north) + (2 km south) + (5 km north) + (5 km south)

Displacement = (4 km north) - (2 km north) + (5 km north) - (5 km north)

Displacement = (4 - 2 + 5 - 5) km north

<u>Displacement = 2 km north </u>

If the torque required to loosen the nut that is holding a flat tire in a place on a car has a magnitude of 35 N•m what minimum
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: F = 130 N

Explanation: Solution:

Convert first 27 cm to m.

27 cm  x 0.01 m / 1 cm = 0.27 m

Calculate the torque using T = Fd

Derive to find force F

F = T /d

  = 35 N.m / 0.27 m

  = 130 N

Molodets [167]

You are true, Stokey.  The correct choice is<em> (c)</em>.

If you think about it a little bit more, you'll realize that "side to side" is also a horizontal motion.  

Anyway, the question told us that we're only talking about 2 dimensions.  Well, the The measurements in the 2 dimensions are the x and the y .  If there were a z measurement, that would be the 3rd dimension.
