On a trip, you get stuck in slow traffic and have to drive 90.0 km at 30.0 km/hr. Then the traffic clears up, and you're able to drive another 90.0 km at 60.0 km/hr. a) Calculate your overall average speed for this 180.0 km trip. Check: it's not 45.0 km/hr! See the next question as well. Use the definition of average speed in physics. b) Prove that if you'd driven 180. km at 60.0 km/hr for the second leg, your...

On a trip, you get stuck in slow traffic and have to drive 90.0 km at 30.0 km/hr. Then the traffic clears up, and you're able to drive another 90.0 km at 60.0 km/hr. a) In the original description of the trip, why was your overall average speed lower than 45.0 km/hr, the mathematical average of 30.0 km/hr and 60.0 km/hr? b) Determine the speed at which you'd have to have driven the second 90.0 km so that your overall...

Last year you could get a hamburger, fries, and a cola at Francisco's Drive-In for $2.50. Since the price of a hamburger has increased 20%, the price of fries has increased 40%, and the price of a cola has increased 50%, the same meal now costs $3.42, If the price of a cola is now 6 cents more than that of a hamburger, what was the price of each item last year?
