A freight train completes its journey of 150 miles 1 hour earlier if its original speed is increased by 5 miles/hour. Give the original speed of the train. a. 20 miles/hour b. 25 miles/hour c. 30 miles/hour d. 35 miles/hour

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is B

If we assign speed variable x; and time variable y; then;

xy=150

(y-1) (x+5) = 150

xy + 5y - x – 5 = 150

(remember xy = 150), therefore;

5y – x = 5

X = 25

Y = 6

Answer 2

Answer: 150(x+5)-150x=x(x+5)
150x+750-150x=x^2+5x
x^2+5x-750=0
(x-25)(x+30)=0
x=25

What is the potential energy of a 30 Newton ball that is on the ground

Answers

The potential energy of a 30N ball on the ground will be zero. With respect to height, h. Potential energy will be calculated like this. P=mgh. So if its on the ground relatively speaking the h=0. Thus inputting into the above formula. P=0.

Assume you have 3 light bulbs connected in a series circuit to a battery.What can you say about the current through each light bulb?
Current varies through all bulbs
There is no current through the bulbs
Current is the same through all bulbs

Answers

Answer:

Current is the same through all bulbs

Explanation:

Because it's a series circuit, the current traveling through the circuit doesn't change. In a parallel circuit, however, the current would not be the same due to the different 'paths' of the circuit.
