Julie drives 100 mi to grandmother's house. on the way to grandmother's, julie drives half the distance at 39.0 mph and half the distance at 61.0 mph . on her return trip, she drives half the time at 39.0 mph and half the time at 61.0 mph . you may want to review (pages 33 - 36) . part a what is julie's average speed on the way to grandmother's house? express your answer with the appropriate units.

The average speed is 47.62 mph.

Why?

To calculate the average speed of Julie, we need to calculate the time taken to cover the first 50 miles (at 39 mph) and then, the other 50 miles (at 61 mph).

So, calculating we have:

- Traveling at 39 mph, first 50 miles:

We have that:

Now, substituting the given information, we have:

So, we know thay Julie traveled the first 50 miles in 1.28 hours.

- Traveling at 61 mph, last 50 miles:

Substituting the given information, we have:

So, we know thay Julie traveled the last 50 miles in 0.82 hours.

Then, if we need to calculate the average speed, we can use the following formula:

We can rewrite the formula, to make it fit with our problem, we have:

Finally, substituting the obtained values for the times, we have:

Hence, we have that the average speed of Julie on the way to Grandmother's house is 47.62 mph.

Have a nice day!

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
