We use the formula,

v = \frac{d}{t}.

Here, v is velocity and its value given 26 mi/h ( in m/s,  \frac{26 \times 1.609 \times 10^{3} m}{60 \times 60 s} =11.62 \ m/s ) and d is distance and its value is given 80 m.

Substituting these values in above formula we get,

t = \frac{80 m}{11.62m/s } = 6.88 \ s

Thus, the time delay between green lights on successive blocks to keep the traffic moving continuously is 6.88 s

Aleksandr [31]
Pitch is directly related to the frequency of the sound. In this item, we are given that the frequency of the sound is higher compared to those which are audible to the human being's ears. The pitch therefore of the dog's whistle is high. 

On the other hand, the frequency and the wavelength of a certain wave are inversely proportional. This means that the high frequency wave will have a short wavelength. 

Hence, the answer to this item would have to be "high pitch with a short wavelength" 

The answer to this item is the second option.

Oliga [24]

Say you have 60 cubic meters of an ideal gas at a pressure of 200 pascals. You heat the gas until it expands to a volume of 120 cubic meters. How much work does the gas do? All you have to do is plug in the numbers:

The gas does 12,000 joules of work as it expands under constant pressure.

Why does light change its velocity (or slows down) when it encounters a glass lens?​
Rufina [12.5K]

Explanation:

what happens is that light slows down when it passes from the less dense air into the denser glass or water. This slowing down of the ray of light also causes the ray of light to change direction. It is the change in the speed of the light that causes refraction.
