3.4m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance to school  = 14.4km

Time taken by Amy = 49min

Time taken by bill = 20min after Amy = 20+49 = 69min

Unknown parameters:

How much faster is Amy's average speed = ?

Solution:

Average speed is the rate of change of total distance with total time taken.

 Average speed = \frac{total distance }{total time taken}

convert units to meters and seconds

      1000m = 1km

       60s = 1min

Distance to school  = 14.4 x 1000 = 14400m

Time taken by Amy = 49 x 60 = 2940s

Time taken by Bill = 69 x 60 = 4140s

Average speed of Amy = \frac{14400}{2940}  = 4.9m/s

Average speed of Bill = \frac{4140}{2940}  = 1.4m/s

Differences in speed = 4.9 - 1.5 = 3.4m/s

Amy was 3.4m/s faster than Bill

How does the physical structure of a plant have<br> Large leaves help it survive?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The large leaves help it survive as they serve as the<u> organ for photosynthesis.</u>

Explanation:

  • Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy.
  • During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds
  • Leaves provide food and air to help a plant stay healthy and grow. Through photosynthesis, leaves turn light energy into food.
  • Through pores, or stomata, leaves breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. Leaves also release excess water.
  • Most leaves are broad and so have a large surface area allowing them to absorb more light
  • A thin shape means a short distance for carbon dioxide to diffuse in and oxygen to diffuse out easily.
  • The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the leaf occurs through pores called stomata.
  • Normally stomata open when the light strikes the leaf in the morning and close during the night.
