Two trains are headed towards each other on the same track unbeknownst to the engineers. One departs San Francisco. Its average

speed is 55 miles per hour. The 2nd departs Seattle at the same time that the first one departs San Francisco. Its average speed is 65 miles per hour. The length of track separating the two locations is 860 miles. How many minutes (from departure time) before the two trains collide?

Answer:

7,166 hrs =430  minutes

Explanation:

Since both train are on the same track, going one towards the other, the relative speed is the addition of both, then the time they need to meet, and consistently crash, is the time that (65mph + 55 mph)=120mph need to travel the total distance of 860 miles, of course in this case one part is traveled by the first train and the rest by the other. Then to find the time we use a three rule

1 h --->120mi

X ---->860mi, then X=(860 mi* 1h)/120 mi = 43/6 hrs= 7,16666 hrs, turning this into minutes need that we notice 1h=60min, then 43/6 hrs *60 min/hrs = 430 minutes.

Which of the answer choices is a true statement? Select all that apply. Metallic elements usually exist as molecules, combining
Pani-rosa [81]

Metallic elements can exist on their own as individual atoms.

Nonmetals usually exist as molecules, combining with atoms of themselves.

Nonmetals can exist on their own as individual atoms.

Explanation:

Metallic elements can exist on their own as individual atoms without combining with another atom. They are stable that way. For example gold, copper, and silver.

Non-metals are usually found as molecules in combined states. The molecules are bounded to each other through covalent bonds. Examples are oxygen gas, nitrogen gas e.t.c. When the two atoms combine, they share their electrons to for homonuclear molecules.

Non-metals like the noble gases exists on their own as individual atoms. They are mono-atomic gases and are stable in nature.

Intensity: Radiation of a single frequency reaches the upper atmosphere of the earth with an intensity of 1350 W/m2. What is the
sesenic [268]

Answer:

The right answer is "1010 V/m".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Intensity,

I=1350 \ W/m^2

c = 3.00\times 108 \ m/s

\mu_0= 4\pi\times 10^{-7} \ T.m/A

Now,

The electric field's maximum value will be:

=  \sqrt{2\times u\times c\times I}

On substituting the values in the above formula, we get

=  \sqrt{2\times 4\times \pi\times 10^{-7}\times 3\times 10^8\times 1350}

=  \sqrt{32400\times 3.14\times 10^{-7}\times 10^8}

=  1010 \ V/m

A metal spoon becomes hot after being left in a pan of boiling water. this is an example of _____. conduction reflection radiati
IRISSAK [1]
Two methods of transfer of heat are involved in this process: conduction and convection.

In fact, the metal spoon is heated by conduction because the molecules of the boiling water collide with the molecules of the spoon, releasing heat to it; and also by convection, because in the pot of boiling water masses of hot water goes upward and they give their heat to the spoon, then these masses become cooler and they go down, replaced by other masses of hot water.

A particular material has an index of refraction of 1.25. What percent of the speed of light in a vacuum is the speed of light i
beks73 [17]

Answer:

80% (Eighty percent)

Explanation:

The material has a refractive index (n) of 1.25

Speed of light in a vacuum (c) is 2.99792458 x 10⁸  m/s

We can find the speed of light in the material (v) using the relationship

n = c/v, similarly

v = c/n

therefore v = 2.99792458 x 10⁸  m/s ÷ (1.25) = 239 833 966 m/s

v = 239 833 966 m/s

Therefore the percentage of the speed of light in a vacuum that is the speed of light in the material can be calculated as

(v/c) × 100 = (1/n) × 100 = (1/1.25) × 100 = 0.8 × 100 = 80%

Therefore speed of light in the material (v) is eighty percent of the speed of light in the vacuum (c)

Where do incident rays that are parallel to the principal axis converge to after reflecting off a concave mirror?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

At focus

Explanation:

A concave mirror is converging in nature. In a mirror, concave in nature, the rays which are parallel to the principal axis are supposed to be coming from very large distances or we assume the source to be placed at infinity for such rays which are parallel to the principal axis.

These rays,  parallel to the principal axis, coming from infinity, converges at the focus of the mirror concave in nature after reflecting from the concave mirror
