Total distance = (average speed) x (total time)

What do we know, and what else can we figure out ?

-- Total time = 4 hours.

-- First piece of the trip:

. . . distance . . . 160 km

. . . speed . . . 91 km/h.  

. . . time . . . (160 km) / (91 km/hr) = 1.758 hours

-- Second piece of the trip:

. . . speed . . . 64 km/h

. . . time . . . (4 - 1.758) = 2.242 hours

. . . distance (64 km) x (2.242 hr) = 143.47 km

What we're trying to find is the total distance.  Looking back over our work for the two pieces of the trip, we see that we have the distance for each piece now, so all we have to do is addummup.

Total distance = (160 km) + (143.47 km)

<em>Total distance = 303.47 km</em>

Think about the way optical fibers are designed. why are the ends of the fibers glowing very brightly while the sides of the fib
Effectus [21]

Answer:

D. because the light is reflected back into the fiber along its sides

Explanation:

The fiber is constructed in a way that the light is bent/reflected/refracted toward the center core of glass. So, from the center core, there is a layer above it that has a different propagation than the core, and above that the same thing. To give you a real world visual example, if you look down in a pool of water, then stick a straight stick into it, you see that the straight stick appears to bend. That is what is happening to the light as it travels through a different medium (air to water). This same effect is incorporated in the fiber optic cable construction.

When drinking at a private even, you should assume that drinks will ___.
allochka39001 [22]

When drinking at a private event, you should assume that drinks will be STRONGER THAN NORMAL.

At private events, some hosts have the habit of mixing different drinks together in order to increase the intoxicating power of the drinks. This does not normally happen when one is buying from restaurants or other commercial places. Thus, to be on the safe side, one should always assume that drinks will be stronger when one is attending a private event, this will caution one to drink responsibly in order to avoid intoxication.
