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

r in reference to the first?
Physics

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

aksik [14]

Answer:

Civilization's planet is most likely to be doomed because within the next million years the red giant star will possibly supernova.

Explanation:

Civilization's planet is most likely to be doomed because within the next million years the red giant star will possibly supernova. The supernova is the bursting of the star that has reached its end life. This leads to release of massive amount of energy, which can be more than the heat and energy released by the sun.
