Answer:
I think they use it at night because they want to avoid involving themselves in road accident while crossing the street. When there are reflective strips on their clothes, drivers do notice them even at far ends of the street since the strips will reflect the rays from the car lights to the driver,hence, the driver notifies that there is a pedestrian crossing and therefore slows down.
There are two ways to solve this. The longer way is to use those equations to calculate numbers for total distance.
The easier way is to find the area under the graph. That's right, AREA UNDER VELOCITY-TIME graph is the TOTAL DISTANCE travelled!
it's a shortcut.
Let's split up the area into a triangle and rectangle:
Triangle = 0.5(4-0)(10-0) = 20 m
Rectangle = (6-4)(10-0) = 20 m
Total distance = 40 m!
Explanation:
Methane (CH4) is 30 times stronger than carbon dioxide as an absorber of infrared radiation.
The water molecules only oscillate up and down and not across the wave as water waves are transverse waves. Thus, the oscillations of the particles are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
