This is not as simple as it looks.
His average speed is NOT (10km/hr + 50km/hr)/2 = 30 km/hr.
You have to use the definition of speed:
Speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).
Let's say the distance up (and down) the hill is 'd' .
Then the time it takes to go up the hill is (d/10) hours.
And the time it takes to come down the hill is (d/50) hours.
Total distance = 2d km
Total time = (d/10) + (d/50) = (5d/50) + (d/50) = 6d/50
Speed = distance/time = 2d/(6d/50) = 100d/6d
<em>Speed = </em>100/6 = <em>16-2/3 km/hr</em>
Because almost all of the force is done by the weight of the person and the mechanism of the swing itself, when you push someone you only give them an increase in velocity, the acceleration comes from the weight at first and then from gravity when the person is coming down, which is why we bend our legs when coming down
The resistance of the thermometer at room temperature is 15.04 ohms.

<h3>What is a resistance thermometer?</h3>
A resistance thermometer is a type of thermometer that measures temperature through a change in resistance.
To calculate the resistance of the thermometer at room temperature, we use the formula below.
Formula:
- 100/27 = 2/(x-14.5)..............Eqquation 1
Where:
- x = Resistance of the thermometer at room temperature
Make x the subject of the equation
- x = [(27×2)/100]+14.5
- x = (54/100)+14.5
- x = 0.54+14.5
- x = 15.04 ohms.
Hence, The resistance of the thermometer at room temperature is 15.04 ohms.
