A car traveling 100.0 m/s is trying to pass a 500.0 m long train traveling in the same direction on a track parallel to the road. If the train's speed is 50.00 m/s, a) how long does it take the car to pass it, and how far will the car have traveled in this time? b) what are the results if the train and car are moving in opposite directions?

Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. set up the ripple tank as in previous investigations. 2. bend the rubber tube to form a "concave mirror" and place in the ripple tank. the water level must be below the top of the hose. 3. generate a few straight pulses with the dowel and observe the reflected waves. do the waves focus (come together) upon reflection? can you locate the place where the waves meet? 4. touch the water surface where the waves converged. what happens to the reflected wave? 5. move your finger twice that distance from the hose (2f = c of c, center of the curvature) and touch the water again. does the image (the reflected wave) appear in the same location (c of c)? you may have to experiment before you find the exact location. sometimes it is hard to visualize with the ripple tank because the waves move so quickly. likewise, it is impossible to "see" light waves because they have such small wavelengths and move at the speed of light. however, both are examples of transverse waves and behave in the same way when a parallel wave fronts hit a curved surface.

Imagine that someone pushes one marble toward a motionless marble. would there still be action-reaction forces involved in the collision? how might the marbles’ motions be changed? ?

Aplane flying horizontally at an altitude of 1 mile and a speed of of 500mih passes directly over a radar station. find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2mi away from the station.
