Well, let's see:

If you live 'D' kilometers from the city, and you go and return by the same route, then

-- The time it takes you to reach the city, at 40 km/h, is  D/40  hours.

-- The time it takes you to return, at 60 km/h, is    D/60.

-- The total distance you cover is  2D, and the total driving time is

                        (D/40) + (D/60)

                   =  (3D/120)  +  (2D/120)

                   =        5D/120  =  D/24

-- Your average speed for the entire trip is

                         (distance covered)  /  (time to cover the distance)

                   =            ( 2D )   /   ( D/24 )

                   =              48 km/hr.

If a transparent blue filter is placed over a camera lens, what happens to visible light entering it
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

If you pass white light through a blue filter, then only blue color will appear on the other end. This is because a blue filter will only allow blue light through it. And will absorb other color. In other words the rest colors would disappear. Hence the camera would receive just blue light. This phenomenon is referred to as color by subtraction.

Why was the concern over global cooling replaced with a concern over global warming?
velikii [3]
<span>During 1970s, same observations were seen as what we have observed today pertaining to our climate. Journals were discussing that there would be warming because of greenhouse gases emissions. Also, it was observed between the years 1970 to 1990 that there was a steady surface temperature increase. Due to this, people are now fixated with global warming rather than on global cooling.</span>
