r * t = d We know that the distance was the same. So, where x = the rate on the way to his friend's house: Trip there = Trip back x * (3 hours) = (x-2) * (4 hours) -or- 3x = 4(x-2) 3x = 4x - 8 8 = x He was traveling 8 mph on the way there. The distance was 24 miles (8 mph * 3 hours. He was traveling 6 mph on the way home, which makes sense because it would take 4 hours to travel 24 miles while traveling 6 mph.

What effect does a decrease in the stiffness of the system have on the natural period?

A decrease in the stiffness of a system leads to a longer natural period. This is because lower stiffness allows for slower oscillations, resulting in a slower return to equilibrium after being disturbed.


What is example of Whitworth quick return mechanism?

Whitworth quick return mechanism is a device where reciprocation motion in forward stroke is slower then the return stroke.


Which type of wave travels slower through gasses than it does through solids?

Sound waves travel slower through gases than through solids. This is because gases have lower density and stiffness compared to solids, which affects the speed of sound waves traveling through them.


How do traveling shows transport their portable buildings?

Traveling shows typically transport their portable buildings either by trane or by truck. Typically rail is less expensive but it is slower.


How much slower is 10 minutes 5 seconds than 9 minutes 55 seconds?

The difference in time is 10 seconds. How much slower depends on how fast you are traveling.


When you are traveling at the speed of light what happens when you turn on your headlights?

In theory you would not see them because there is no way of the light getting to you because for that to happen you would need to travel slower than the light or the light would have to be coming from the opposed direction

If you are riding in a fast moving car in what direction would you throw an object so that it will return to your hand?

Forward. When you throw an object, you'll be traveling at a high acceleration and velocity fast enough that when you throw the object you'll catch very quickly, mostly because you would throw it slower than the acceleration of the car.-----------If you are accelerating, the above is true--you would need to throw ahead of you at an angle for it to return to your hand. However, if the car is traveling quickly but at a constant speed, you would simply throw it straight upward, like you normally would. This is because both you and the object are already traveling at the same speed in the same direction.

Does Speed increase as distance increases for the same time?

If you travel less distance in the same time, you are traveling slower.

According to Kepler's second law Jupiter will be traveling most slowly around the sunwhen?

Jupiter will be traveling most slowly around the Sun when it is farthest from the Sun in its orbit. This is because Kepler's second law states that a planet will move faster when it is closer to the Sun and slower when it is farther away.
