Everyday Stuff...300Yesterday I saw people on TV trying to sound

smart using this problem: Train A leaves the station traveling at 20 m/s. Train B leaves the station traveling at 35 m/s. Both trains travel at a constant velocity. Stations A and B are 175 m apart. After how many seconds do the trains cross paths, assuming they are traveling to the opposite station?

Everyday Stuff...300 - AnswerWe know that they are at the same location when

the cross, so final positions are equal.A B

xf= xi + vt xf= xi + vt

xi + vt = xi + vt0m + (20m/s)t = 175m + (-35m/s)t

(55m/s)t = 175m

t = 3.18st = 3.18s

A student wanted to find out if the temperature of water affected the amount of sugar that would dissolve in it. He put 50 mL of water into each of four identical jars. He changed the temperatures of the water in the jars until he had one at 0°C, one at 50°C, one at 75°C, and one at 95°C. He then dissolved as much sugar as he could in each jar by stirring. What is the relationship being studied?

Everyday Stuff...400 - Answer

The effect of higher temperature on the amount of sugar dissolved.

car at a constant speed of 25 m/s directly at his friend, with the intention of stopping just before him. His friend is 150 m away when the driver hits the brakes and beings to accelerate uniformly at a rate of 0.63m/s2. Will the car come to a stop as the driver intended, or should we call an ambulance?

FFLL: Force lifting helicopter off ground: Force lifting helicopter off ground

ΣF = FΣF = FLL – F – FEE = ma = ma

FFLL – (4600kg)(9.8N/kg) = (4600kg)(2m/s2) – (4600kg)(9.8N/kg) = (4600kg)(2m/s2)

FFLL = 9200 N + 45080 N = 9200 N + 45080 N
