Two bicyclist, originally separated by a distance of 20 miles, are each traveling at a uniform speed of 10 miles per hour toward

each other down a long straight east-west aligned road. As the bikes travel, a bumble bee flying at a uniform speed of 25 miles per hour travels from the front wheel of one bike to the other, instantaneously reversing its course each time it encounters one of the bicycle wheels. Alas, eventually the two bicycles collide, crushing the poor bumble bee between their front wheels. What distance does the bee travel before his demise?

Answer:

D = 25 miles

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we just need to know how much time it took both bicyclists to collide and that will be the same amount of time that the bee flew at 25miles per hour. With those values we could calculate the distance it traveled.

Since both bicyclists collide, we know that Xa=Xb, so:

Xa = V*t = 10*t     and    Xb = 20 - V*t = 20 - 10*t

10*t = 20 - 10*t      Solving for t:

t = 1 hour  Now we can calculate the distance for the bee:

D = Vbee * t = 25 * 1 = 25 miles

Answer:

The table can be used to predict the properties of elements, even those that have not yet been discovered.  Columns (groups) and rows (periods) indicate elements that share similar characteristics. The table makes trends in element properties apparent and easy to understand. The table provides important information used to balance chemical equations. Atoms are important because they form the basic building blocks of all visible matter in the universe. There are 92 types of atoms that exist in nature, and other types of atoms can be made in the lab. The different types of atoms are called elements. Hydrogen, gold and iron are examples of elements comprised of unique types of a single kind of atom.
