A train travels due north in a straight line with a constant speed of 100 m/s. Another train leaves a station 2,881 m away traveling on the same track, but traveling due south with a constant speed of 136 m/s. At what position will the trains collide? Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer from: ChocCole

The trains will collide at a distance 1660 m from the station

Explanation:

Let the train traveling due north with a constant speed of 100 m/s be Train A.

Let the train traveling due south with a constant speed of 136 m/s be Train B.

From the question, Train B leaves a station 2,881 m away (that is 2,881 m away from Train A position).

Hence, the two trains would have traveled a total distance of 2,881 m by the time they collide.

∴ If train A has covered a distance m by the time of collision, then train B would have traveled (2881 - x) m.

Also,

At the position where the trains will collide, the two trains must have traveled for equal time, t.

That is, At the point of collision,

$t_{A} = t_{B}$

$t_{A}$ is the time spent by train A

$t_{B}$ is the time spent by train B

From,

$Velocity = \frac{Distance }{Time }\\$

$Time = \frac{Distance}{Velocity}$

Since the time spent by the two trains is equal,

Then,

$\frac{Distance_{A} }{Velocity_{A} } = \frac{Distance_{B} }{Velocity_{B} }$

${Distance_{A} = x$ m

${Distance_{B} = 2881 - x$ m

${Velocity_{A} = 100$ m/s

${Velocity_{B} = 136$ m/s

Hence,

$\frac{x}{100} = \frac{2881 - x}{136}$

$136(x) = 100(2881 - x)\\136x = 288100 - 100x\\136x + 100x = 288100\\236x = 288100\\x = \frac{288100}{236} \\x = 1220.76m\\$

≅ 1,221 m

This is the distance covered by train A by the time of collision.

Hence, Train B would have covered (2881 - 1221)m = 1660 m

Train B would have covered 1660 m by the time of collision

Since it is train B that leaves a station,

∴ The trains will collide at a distance 1660 m from the station.

Answer from: Quest

a solenoid is created by wrapping a l = 90 m long wire around a hollow tube of diameter d = 4.5 cm. the wire diameter is d = 0.9 mm. the solenoid wire is then connected to a power supply so that a current of i = 9 a flows through the wire.

randomized variablesl = 90 m

d = 4.5 cm

d = 0.9 mm

i = 9 a

write an expression for the number of turns, n, in the solenoid. you do not need to take into account the diameter of the wire in this calculation.

calculate the number of turns, n, in the solenoid.

write an expression for the length of the solenoid (l2) in terms of the diameter of the hollow tube d.

calculate the length of the solenoid (l2) in meters.
