<span>Different materials expand and contract at different rates based on temperature. Just like if you leave a plastic bottle full of water in a freezer it will burst, but if you leave it partially full no problem.....Ok?Expansion joints do the same for bridges. There is a gap to allow for temperature related expansions and contractions. Sometimes you drive over bridges and roadways where this movement is constricted and you might notice a bumpy ride. Engineers can predict the variation of structural length based on span lengths and leave the necessary gaps.....btw, NICE QUESTION:)</span>

A person travels by car from one city to another with different constant speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 35.0 min
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Explanation:

Solution:

Let the time be

t1=35min = 0.58min

t2=10min=0.166min

t3=45min= 0.75min

t4=35min= 0.58min

let the velocities be

v1=100km/h

v2=55km/h

v3=35km/h

a. Determine the average speed for the trip. km/h

first we have to solve for the distance

S=s1+s2+s3

S= v1t1+v2t2+v3t3

S= 100*0.58+55*0.166+35*0.75

S=58+9.13+26.25

S=93.38km

V=S/t1+t2+t3+t4

V=93.38/0.58+0.166+0.75+0.58

V=93.38/2.076

V=44.98km/h

b. the distance is 93.38km
