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

Two parallel conducting plates are separated by 10.0 cm, and one of them is taken to be at zero volts. (a) what is the electric
Alex_Xolod [135]

The expression for the magnitude of the electric field between two uniform conducting plates is

E=\frac{V}{d}

Here, V is potential difference between plates and d is separation between plates.

As the potential 6.00 cm from the zero volt plate (and 4.00 cm from the other) is 420 V.

Therefore,

E = \frac{420 \ V}{6 \times 10^{-2} m } = 70 \times 10^2 \ V/m

Thus, the electric field strength between the plates is 7000 V/ m

A driver averaged 64 mph and took 3½ hours to travel from st. Louis to chicago. Based on this, what is the distance between st.
sammy [17]

Average speed of the driver is given as

v = 64 mph

if he moved for total time t = 3.5 hours

so the distance between the tow is given as

d = v* t

d = 64 * 3.5

d = 224 miles

so the distance between St. Louis and Chicago is 224 miles

Where does salt in the ocean come from
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Salt in the ocean comes from two sources: runoff from the land and openings in the seafloor. Rocks on land are the major source of salts dissolved in seawater. Rainwater that falls on land is slightly acidic, so it erodes rocks.

This problem is based on the whole idea of pressure but I’m having trouble on when the area circle formula is included.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

6.23x10^6Pa

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

F (force) = 490N

r (radius) = 0.005m

A (area of the circlular heel) =?

P (pressure) =.?

First, we'll begin by calculating the area of the circlular heel. This is illustrated below:

Area of circle = πr^2

Area = 22/7 x (0.00)^2

Area = 7.86x10^-5m^2

Pressure is simply force per unit area. It represented mathematically as

Pressure = Force /Area

Pressure = 490/7.86x10^-5

Pressure = 6.23x10^6N/m2

Recall: 1N/m2 = 1Pa

Therefore, 6.23x10^6N/m2 = 6.23x10^6Pa

Therefore, the woman exert a pressure of 6.23x10^6Pa on the floor
