Answer:

Ozone layer in the upper atmosphere filters most of the harmful radiations of shorter wavelength. It actually absorbs the hazardous radiations like ultraviolet, gamma rays, x- rays and most of all those having shorter wavelength then the visible light. That's how the earth's atmosphere protects life on earth. But unfortunately, climate change and global warming is causing the depletion of ozone layer which is causing skin related diseases and harming not only the human life but also the plants and animals.

A car moves uphill at 40 km/h and then back downhill at 60 km/h. What is the average speed for the round trip?

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=48km/h$

Explanation:

Ok, the average speed can be calculate with the next equation:

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{Total\hspace{3}distance}{Total\hspace{3}time}$ (1)

Basically the car cover the same distance "d" two times, but at different speeds, so:

$Total\hspace{3}distance=2*d$

and the total time would be the time t1 required to go from A to B plus the time t2 required to go back from B to A:

$Total\hspace{3}time=t1+t2$

From basic physics we know:

$t=\frac{d}{S1}$

so:

$t1=\frac{d}{S1}$

$t2=\frac{d}{S2}$

Using the previous information in equation (1)

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{2*d}{\frac{d}{S1} +\frac{d}{S2} }=\frac{2*d}{\frac{d*S2+d*S1}{S1+S2} }$

Factoring:

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{2*S1*S2}{S1+S2}$ (2)

Finally, replacing the data in (2)

$S_a_v_e_r_a_g_e=\frac{2*40*60}{60+40} =48km/h$
