Answer:

9.26 km/h

Explanation:

Applying,

V' = D'/t'............... Equation 1

Where V' = Average speed, D' = Total distance, t' = total time.

Given: D' = 5 km

But,

v = d/t............ Equation 2

Where v = speed , d = distance, t = time

t = d/v............ Equation 3

Given: d = 4.5 km, v = 9 km/h, and d = 0.5 km, v = 12.5 km/h

Therefore,

t₁ = 4.5/9 = 0.5 hours

t₂ = 0.5/12.5

t₂ = 0.04 hours

Therefore,

V' = 5/(0.5+0.04)

V' = 5/0.54

V' = 9.26 km/h

A newspaper turns yellow in sunlight. Is this a physical or chemical change?
LekaFEV [45]
It is a chemical change. I always think of a chemical/physical change as if you could  reverse it back as it started off, for example if you stepped on a can you can reverse the can back probably not exactly like it was before but you can still reverse it so this would be a physical change, and if you baked a pizza you could not reverse the dough and everything else back.

Why are many mitochondria needed in cells that move, like muscle cells?
Deffense [45]
Muscle cells have to use a lot of energy and the Mitochondria is known as the "power house" of the cell... I would say the number of mitochondria needed is increased because more power and energy is being used in that cell than a normal one (idk if this helps or if that's the answer you were looking for)
