A man on a road trip drives a car at different constant speeds over several legs of the trip. He drives for 15.0 min at 50.0 km/

h, 19.0 min at 85.0 km/h, and 55.0 min at 60.0 km/h and spends 25.0 min eating lunch and buying gas.
a. What is the total distance traveled over the entire trip (in km)?
b. What is the average speed for the entire trip (in km/h)?

Answer

given

Case 1-Speed of car 50 Km/h for 15 min

Case 2-Speed of car 85 Km/h for 19 min

Case 3 - Speed of car 60 km/h for 55 min

lunch break time = 25 min

a) total distance travel

   we know,

    distance = speed x time

 D = 50 \times \dfrac{15}{60} + 85 \times \dfrac{19}{60} + 60\times \dfrac{55}{60}

  D = 94.42 Km

b) average\ speed = \dfrac{total\ distance}{total\ time}

   average\ speed = \dfrac{94.42}{\dfrac{15}{60}+\dfrac{19}{60}+\dfrac{55}{60}+\dfrac{25}{60}}

average\ speed = 49.69\ km/h

Within a period of the periodic table, how do the properties of the elements vary?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells; moving across a period (so progressing from group to group), elements gain electrons and protons and become less metallic. This arrangement reflects the periodic recurrence of similar properties as the atomic number increases.

Explanation:

The Periodic Table can predict the properties of new elements, because it organizes the elements according to their atomic numbers. ... They hope that the two nuclei at the centre of these atoms will fuse and form a heavier nucleus. When these heavy elements form, they are usually highly unstable.

Who clarified the photoelectric effect?
sergiy2304 [10]
When visible light, X rays, gamma rays, or other forms of electromagnetic radiation are shined on certain kinds of matter, electrons are ejected. That phenomenon is known as the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect was discovered by German physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857–1894) in 1887. You can imagine the effect as follows: Suppose that a metal plate is attached by two wires to a galvanometer. (A galvanometer is an instrument for measuring the flow of electric current.) If light of the correct color is shined on the metal plate, the galvanometer may register a current. That reading indicates that electrons have been ejected from the metal plate. Those electrons then flow through the external wires and the galvanometer. HOPE THIS HELPED
