You normally drive on the freeway between San Diego and Los Angeles at an average speed of 105 km/h (65mi/h), and the trip takes

2 hr and 20 min. On a Friday afternoon, however, heavy traffic slows you down and you drive the same distance at an average speed of only 70 km/h (50 mi/h). How much longer does the trip take?

Answer:

Given the second case mentioned, the trip will take:

  • <u>1 hour and 10 minutes more than in the first case, that is, it will take 3 hours with 30 minutes in total.</u>

Explanation:

To calculate how much longer someone will take on that journey, you must calculate the distance traveled, using the aforementioned initial speed, however, the time must be converted into a number that you can calculate, this is done using a rule of three:

  • 60 minutes = 1
  • 20 minutes = X
  • X = 20 minutes / 60 minutes = 0.33333

Now it is calculated:

  • Kilometers traveled = 105 km / h (speed used) * 2,333 hours (the change from 2 hours and twenty minutes to a number) = 245 km

Now you just need to divide the total distance by the new speed to find the total time spent now:

  • Total time case 2 = 245 Km / 70 Km / h = <u>3.5 hours</u> (which is equal to <u>3 hours and 30 minutes</u>)

Since the time of the first case was 2 hours 20 minutes, the difference is <u>1 hour 10 minutes</u>.

Answer:

3 hours and 28 minutes.

Explanation:

Average speed is gu=iven by,

Average speed = \frac{Total distance}{Total time}

∴ Total distance = Average speed × Total time

Average speed = 105 \frac{km}{h}

Total time = 2 hour and 20 minutes = 2.33 hour

Total distance = 105 × 2.33

Total distance = 244.65 km

The total distance between San Diego and Los Angeles is 244.65 km.

Due to heavy traffic the average speed is decreased to 70 \frac{km}{h}.

Average speed = \frac{Total distance}{Total time}

∴ Total time =  \frac{Total distance}{Average speed }

Total time = \frac{244.65}{70}

Total time = 3.495 hours

Total time = 3 hours and 28 minutes

Thus due to heavy traffic the time taken to travel from between San Diego and Los Angeles is 3 hours and 28 minutes.

Create a piece of evidence showing the relationship between potential and kinetic energy You MUST include the following words: p
Mrac [35]
You could hold any object (like an apple) for your class to see.  (Its potential energy is greatest at this point).  At the point when you are holding the object the potential energy will be equal to the object's mass multiplied by the object's acceleration due to gravity(9. 8 m/s²) multiplied by the height of the object(however high you choose to hold it). Release the object while it is falling, the object's motion will be evidence of the kinetic energy that the object is experiencing. As the object's kinetic energy increases, its potential energy will decrease.  This can be explained by the law of conservation of energy. This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed it can only change forms.  Finally, explain to your class that mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy. 

I hope this helped. I recommend you  present with an informative powerpoint in the background of your presentation while you present this if you want to do well because it will better show your teacher how much you know rather than if you were to just speak to the class during your presentation.

Light rays bend as they pass from air into water at an angle (not 90 degrees). this is refraction. air water normal incident ray
xxTIMURxx [149]

When light ray pass from air into water, its speed and wavelength change only the frequency of the light doesn't change.

Light travels slower in a medium of higher refractive index. It bends because of this change in speed. The wavelength of light also changes in order to maintain the constant frequency.
