Two cars are moving towards an intersection. One car is 150 meters north of the intersection and moving towards the intersection at 20 m/s, while the other is 180 meters west of the intersection and moving towards the intersection at 16 m/s. How rapidly are the cars approaching each other 4 seconds later?
Two locomotives 70 kilometers apart are travelling on the same track towards each other, Engine A moves at 22 kilometers per hour east and engine B moves at 13 kilometersper hour west. At the instant both trains begin moving, an annoying mutant fly beginsflying from engine A towards engine B at 33 kilometers per hour . The instant it touchesB, it turns around and flies back. It goes on this way until the two locomotives collideand the mutant fly is finally squashed. So, before its untimely demise, a) what is the total distance the fly flew? b) the time it took till it was eliminated and c) the average velocity of the fly? how can i find this please
A seagull flies at a velocity of 7.5 m/s relative to the air straight into the wind. vSA = 7.5 m/s t = 23 min d = 6.8 km If it takes the bird 23 min to travel 6.8 km relative to the Earth, what is the velocity of the wind, in meters per second, relative to the Earth? Take the direction of travel of the seagull to be positive.
An apple is launched directly upward at 64 feet per second from a platform 80 feet high. The equation for this apple's height h at time t seconds after launch is h(t)= -16t2+64t+80. What is the height of the apple after 3 seconds?
Two buses start at the same time towards each other from terminals A and B, 8 km apart. The time needed for the first bus to travel from A to B is 8 minutes and of the second bus B to A is 10 minutes. How much time is needed by each bus to meet each other if they traveled at their respective uniform speeds. In what distance from A, in meters, the bus will meet?
A runner is moving with a speed of 2.68[m/s]. How long will it take the runner to complete a 5.0[km] race? Express your answer in seconds. Ignore the time it takes to reach this speed, and assume the runner is always at this speed.
A car leaves city A and goes to city B at 45 km / h.20 minutes later another car leaves city B and heads towards city A at 37 km / h, on the same road. How far apart are they from each other when they are 3 minutes away from each other?
A red train traveling at 20 m/s and a green train traveling at 40 m/s are headed toward one another along a straight, level track. When they are 950 m apart, each engineer sees the other's train and applies the breaks. The breaks decelerates each train at the rate of 1 m/s˄2. What is the speed (in m/s) of the green train at impact?
A student witnesses a flash of lightning and then t = 1.5 s later the student hears the associated clap of thunder.Sound travels at 343 m/s in the air. What distance from the student is the lightning strike, in meters? Light travels at 3.0 × 108 m/s in the air. How long, t1, in seconds did it take the light to reach the student's eyes after the lightning strike?
Two straight roads intersect at right angles. At 10 am a car passes through the intersection headed due east at 30 mi/h. At 11am a truck heading due north at 40 mi/h passes through the intersection. Assume that the two vehicles maintain the given speeds and directions. At what rate are they separating at 1pm? _____mi/h
