25. Le Chatelier's principle
Light gates are more reliable. When using a manual stop watch, it is difficult to stop it at an exact time. A light gate is able to detect when an object passes through a 'gate' with the infrared transmitter and receiver.
The answer is C. Hope this helps.
A would be the correct answer. Its the only one to make sense since you are trying to solve the conflict!
12.00 min = 0.2 hr
8.00 min = 0.15 hr
Total distance:
(10.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr) + (15.0 km/hr) (0.15 hr) + (20.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr)
= 8.25 km
Average speed:
(10.0 km/hr + 15.0 km/hr + 20.0 km/hr) / 3
= 15 km/hr
Change in position:
(10.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr) + (15.0 km/hr) (0.15 hr) - (20.0 km/hr) (0.2 hr)
= 0.25 km
Average velocity:
(10.0 km/hr + 15.0 km/hr - 20.0 km/hr) / 3
≈ 1.67 m/s
