I'm probably going to have to say C. E as it seems the steepest right around there. If I'm wrong on that, it has to be B. B
Answer: a. 85km/hr b.82.3km/hr
c. 84km/hr
Explanation: first let take the total time from San Antonio to Houston to be 2hr.
Half time 1hr was covered with speed of 72km/hr
Distance = speed*time=72km/hr *1hr
=72km
So too with the second half of 1hr covered with speed of 98km/hr
Distance = 98km
Total distance from Houston to San Antonio is 98+72 =170km
a. Average speed from San Antonio to Houston is
S1 =170/2
=85km/hr
b.half distance from Houston to San Antonio which is 170km/2
= 85km was covered with speed of 72km/hr first half, so time
t = dist/speed
t = 85/72 = 1hr 12 mins
Remaining 85 km covered with a speed of 98km/hr
Time = 85/98 = 0.88*60min
= 52 mins
Total time = 1hr +12mins +52mins
=2hr4mins= 124/60 hr
So average speed = distance/time
=170/124/60
Using reciprocal law
Average speed S2= 170*60/124
= 82.3km/hr
C. Average speed to and fro(entire tripe)
= (85+82.3)/2
=84km/hr

-- Two satellites at the same distance, different masses:
The forces of gravity between two objects are directly
proportional to the product of the objects' masses. In
other words, the gravitational forces between the Earth
and an object on its surface are proportional to the mass of
the object. In other words, people with more mass weigh more
on the Earth, and the Earth weighs more on them.
If the satellites are both at the same distance from Earth,
then the Earth pulls on the one with more mass with greater
force, and also the one with more mass pulls on the Earth
with greater force.
-- Two satellites with the same mass, at different distances:
The forces of gravity between two objects are inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them.
In other words, the gravitational
forces between the Earth
and an object are inversely proportional
to the square of
the distance between the object and the center of the Earth.
If
the satellites both have the same mass, then the Earth
pulls on the nearer one with greater force, and also the
nearer one pulls on the Earth with greater force.
-- Resistor in a circuit when the voltage changes:
The resistance depends on how the resistor was manufactured.
Its resistance is marked on it, and doesn't change. It remains
the same whether the voltage changes, the current changes,
the time of day changes, the cost of oil changes, etc.
If you increase the voltage in the circuit where that resistor is
installed, the current through the resistor increases. If the current
remains constant, then you can be sure that somebody snuck over
to your circuit when you weren't looking, and they either installed
another resistor in series with the original one to make the total
resistance bigger, or else they snipped the original one out of the
circuit and quickly connected one with more resistance in its place.
