Answer:

3 hours

Explanation:

Given:

- The speed of Ben v_b = 3 mi/h

- The speed of Amanda v_a = 6 mi/h

- The total time taken to cover distance(d) by ben = t_b

Find:

How long will it be before Amanda catches up to Ben?

Solution:

- The distance d traveled by Ben:

                                 d = v_b*t_b

                                 d = 3*t_b

- The distance d traveled by Amanda:

                                 d = v_a*t_a

                                 d = 6*t_a

- Equate the distance as when they meet:

                                 3*t_b = 6*t_a

- Where ,

                                  t_b = t_a + 1.5

                                  t_a = t_b - 1.5

- Substitute the time relationship in distance relationship:

                                  3*t_b = 6*(t_b - 1.5)

                                  3*t_b = 6*1.5

                                      t_b = 2*1.5 = 3 h

- Hence, It would take 3 hours since Ben starts walking that amanda catches up.

A "biconvex" lens is one in which both surfaces of the lens bulge outwards. Suppose you had a biconvex lens with radii of curvat
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: f=150cm in water and f=60cm in air.

Explanation: Focal length is a measurement of how strong light is converged or diverged by a system. To find the variable, it can be used the formula:

\frac{1}{f} = (nglass - ni)(\frac{1}{R1} - \frac{1}{R2}).

nglass is the index of refraction of the glass;

ni is the index of refraction of the medium you want, water in this case;

R1 is the curvature through which light enters the lens;

R2 is the curvature of the surface which it exits the lens;

Substituting and calculating for water (nwater = 1.3):

\frac{1}{f} = (1.5 - 1.3)(\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{15})

\frac{1}{f} = 0.2(\frac{1}{30})

f = \frac{30}{0.2} = 150

For air (nair = 1):

\frac{1}{f} = (1.5 - 1)(\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{15})

f = \frac{30}{0.5} = 60

In water, the focal length of the lens is f = 150cm.

In air, f = 60cm.

expeople1 [14]
U = 0, initial vertical velocity

Neglect air resistance, and g = 9.8 m/s².

The time, t, required for the pen to attain a vertical velocity of 19.62 m/s is given by
19.62 m/s = 0 + (9.8 m/s²)*(t s)
t = 19.62/9.8 = 2.00 s

Answer:  2.0 s

Shutting the fluid discharge of an air-operated reciprocating pump will cause the pump to ?
Misha Larkins [42]
Had to look for the options and here is my answer. What happens when the fluid discharge of an air-operated reciprocating pump is shut, this will cause the pump to OVERSTROKE. Overstroke happens when the engine is switching in a normally-closed manner.

Imagine you derive the following expression by analyzing the physics of a particular system: v2=v20+2ax. The problem requires so
lisabon 2012 [21]

As per kinematics equation we are given that

v^2 = v_o^2 + 2ax

now we are given that

a = 2.55 m/s^2

v_0 = 21.8 m/s

v = 0

now we need to find x

from above equation we have

0^2 = 21.8^2 + 2(2.55)x

0 = 475.24 + 5.1 x

x = 93.2 m

so it will cover a distance of 93.2 m
