You are driving at 35 m/s east and notice another car that is initially located 462 m in front of you and is moving east at 25 m/s. How far do you travel before you pass the other car?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The easiest way to answer this question is by realizing there are relating the velocities of the two cars. To tackle this problem, you have to understand the picture.  Car 1 travels at 35m/s and Car 2 travels at 25m/s.  Based on relative velocities, we can understand that Car 1 travels 10m/s faster than Car 2 every second.  So we can interpret Car 1's relative velocity to Car 2 as 10m/s.  Car 1 needs to travel 10m/s till a point of catching up to Car 2 which is 462m away.

v = 10m/s

d = 462m

v = d/t

(10) = (462)/t

t = 46.2s

So it takes 46.2 seconds for Car 1 to catch up to Car 2, but the question is asking how far does Car 1 travel to catch up.  So we have to use Car 1's velocity and not the relative velocity:

v = 35m/s

v = d/t

(35) = d/(46.2)

d = 1617m

Car 1 traveled a total distance of 1617m.

Answer 2
Answer:

-- You are 462 meters behind.

-- You're gaining on him at the rate of  (35m/s - 25m/s)= 10 m/s.

-- At that rate, it'll take you (462m / 10m/s)= 46.2 seconds to over take him.

-- During that time, you'll cover (46.2s x 35m/s)= 1,617 meters.

Linh builds a circuit from the diagram shown. A rectangular box of lines with the long side vertical and an extra horizontal line about 2 thirds of the way up. The top line has a circle with an X in it labeled 1. The right side from top has a top circle 2 with an X in it then the connection with the extra line then a bottom circle 4 with an X in it. The extra line has a circle 3 with an X in it. The left side has a stack of horizontal lines near its bottom, which are, from top very short, short, very short, short.

Answers

If Linh removes bulb 3,the bulbs which will remain lit are 1, 2 and 4.

What is circuit?

The electric circuit provided with battery creating potential difference across resistance or capacitor or inductors.

When Linh removes the middle branch, the bulbs 1, 2 and 4 will be acting as resistor which are in series connection. The current flow will be same in all the resistors except 3.

Thus, If Linh removes bulb 3, the bulbs which will remain lit are 1, 2 and 4.
