Suppose two trains, say A and B are initially 125 miles apart on the same east-west track. Train A is initially to the west of train B. Train A begins to head due east at 25 mph, and train B begins to head due west at 20 mph. To the nearest minute, how long will it take for the two trains to collide?

Suppose two trains, say A and B are initially, №17886791, 23.07.2020 03:49

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between the two trains is 125 miles.

So, when they will collide they would have covered a distance of 125 miles together.

The time that will pass for both the trains will be same but the distances covered will be different as their speeds are different.

167\ \text{minutes}\text{ or }166\ \text{minutes}\ \text{and}\ \text{40}\ \text{seconds}

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between the two trains is 125 miles.

So, when they will collide they would have covered a distance of 125 miles together.

The time that will pass for both the trains will be same but the distances covered will be different as their speeds are different.

\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times \text{Time}

25t+20t=125\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{125}{45}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{25}{9}\ \text{hours}=\dfrac{25}{9}\times 60\times 60=10000\ \text{s}=166.67\ \text{minutes}\\\approx 167\ \text{minutes}\\=166\ \text{minutes}\ \text{and}\ \text{40}\ \text{seconds}

167\ \text{minutes}\text{ or }166\ \text{minutes}\ \text{and}\ \text{40}\ \text{seconds}

SI=(P*R*T)/100

P=2000

R=1.5

T=6

SI=(2000*1.5*6)/100

=(2000*9)/100

=180

Cost of 7 gallons=$24.50

Cost of 1 gallon=24.50/7=3.5

Cost of 15 gallons=15*3.5=52.5

Cost of 15 gallons will be $52.5

a=acceleration

Here,

F=4300

a=3.3m/s2

m=F/a

    =4300/3.3

Speed=Distance/time

Here,

distance=15m

time=1sec

speed=15/1=15m/sec

Distance=Speed*time

time=15min=15*60sec=900sec

Distance travelled in 15 min=15*900=13,500m

=13500/1000 km=13.5Km

The wood before starting =12 feet

Left wood=6 feet

Wood used till now=12-6=6 feet

Picture frame built till now= 6/(3/4)

=8 pieces

Therefore, till now 8 pieces have been made.
