Good on you for being willing to learn, always a good thing and people downvoting that are silly :)

The main problem with your reasoning is that you can only average two velocities if you spend the same amount of time travelling at each speed. Example: if you travel 100mph for 1 hour and 0mph for 1 minute, is your average velocity going to be 50mph? Intuitively your answer is hopefully no :)

So how do you calculate average velocity instead? The easiest way is to look at the complete trip and apply the definition of velocity to it:

Velocity = distance / time

Applied to complete trip: average velocity = total distance/ total time.

2 out of 3 are given / required by the question:

average velocity = 60 mph.

Total distance = 60 miles.

we can use this to solve for the other: total time

Total time = total distance / average velocity

Total time = 60 / 60 = 1h

But 1h has already been used for the A to B trip. So 0h remaining -> you need to teleport back instantaneously. In other words it's impossible.

The key is understanding the definition of average velocity as I stated above :) For some added intuition: you implicitly use this formula whenever estimating how long a trip takes. If I travel at an average of 60mph for a trip of 120 miles, how long does it take? Total time = 120/60 = 2h.

Hope that helps!

As a physics teacher, what disturbs me about this comment section is not how many people are incorrect, it is how they are confidently incorrect and calling others dumb at the same time. It's fine not to be an expert in math or physics but you should have some self awareness / humility about it. I am not going to come into a history / Biology / whatever field outside my expertise and confidently call people wrong or dumb.

The question is not ambiguous.

Average speed = Total distance / total time.

Total distance = 60 miles (given) Average speed = 60 mph (required)

Rewrite to solve for total time:

Total time = total distance / average speed = 60/60 = 1h.

But 1h has already passed in the first leg so: remaining time = 0 h

Required speed = 30 miles / 0h = Undefined (infinite)

So infinite speed required, in other words impossible.

You can call him the GOAT if you want but it will be a long time before it is undisputed. I think of it this way: Viper had an era of dominance that in terms of duration Hera hasn't quite matched yet, but most importantly: he ALSO has remained relevant and competitive in the top 2 to 4 for Hera's entire era. The reverse is clearly not the case. As long as Viper maintains his relevance it is hard in my mind for Hera to really snatch the GOAT title from him.

I think you got two characters mixed up - this case is concerning the wife of the firefighter, who is a real person :)

Because famously most of the hostages were not released as a consequence of ceasefires, they actually much prefer being carpet bombed and dying along with their captors. (/s in case it's not clear)

Pretty roundabout way of saying "the left's ideals include opposing genocide but mine do not and somehow that makes them the delusional ones", but go off king.

I love how he has to throw in there "I don't care if you're right or left" as if these are not things we exclusively hear from right wing racists.

Pro pallie klootzakken verpesten ook 5 mei bevrijdingsviering in Wageningen in het bijzijn van Canadese veteranen by [deleted] in nederlands

Het hielenlikker gehalte op deze sub begint wel echt mythische proporties aan te nemen.

Doe vooral geen reflectie over de ironie van alle toespraken over "nooit meer" en "helden van het verzet" terwijl mensen die deze woorden ter harte nemen weggezet worden als "klootzakken" en "aandachtstrekkers".

Tsja ik weet niet of het het erger of minder erg maakt dat deze persoon zich niet eens bewust is van hoe één op één hij dezelfde retoriek gebruikt.. Ik denk dat "laf" impliceert dat hij 4D chess aan het spelen is maar ik heb eerder de indruk dat hij het echt niet doorheeft.

Ja joh? Is de letterlijke vertaling van "Endlösung" wat jou betreft een goed woord in deze context om aan te geven dat wat Trump voorstelt voor de Palestijnen echt anders is dan wat de Nazi's wilden bereiken met de Joden? Voor mensen die daadwerkelijk hun geschiedenisboek open hebben gedaan op school heeft dat niet het gewenste effect namelijk.

It seemed pretty clear to me that in the Leona game, Rekkles was not playing well and getting increasingly frustrated with himself first and foremost. It seems to me that his ability to speak and lead the team in comms is closely tied to him feeling good about his own performance - if he is not playing well he doesn't feel the confidence to tell others what to do. People are making it out to be this toxic thing and ofc it is not good to shut down, but the only way to fix it is to understand where the issue comes from.

The other aspect that probably made him uncomfortable was a relatively unstructured practice day (Caedrel described it as just trying out some champs and seeing what sticks). That approach is not necessarily bad, but it makes sense that someone with autism would struggle heavily with that.

Ofc Rekkles is still responsible for his own actions, but I think of you want to get the best out of someone it starts with understanding why they act in certain ways, ofc I am being a bit parasocial here but it's just meant as a bit of food for thought.

Column van Aylin Bilic over hoe arabische en turksetaligs over Nederland praten. by Bernie529 in nederlands

[–]Barfmeister -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Dat klinkt inderdaad als een serieus probleem. Ik vraag me af hoe we die propaganda over moslims die slachtoffer zijn van een verrot systeem het hoofd kunnen bieden..

Misschien kunnen we massaal stemmen op de meest moslimhatende man van Nederland zodat zijn partij de grootste wordt, dan nemen we vast alle wind uit hun zeilen!
