How long is the bus trip from Balamb to Galbadia?

AI Thread Summary
The bus trip from Balamb to Galbadia typically takes about 18 minutes at an average speed of 70 km/hr. On days with heavy traffic, the speed decreases to 40 km/hr, resulting in a longer travel time. To determine how much longer the trip takes under these conditions, calculating the distance of the trip is essential. The discussion emphasizes the importance of showing previous attempts at solving the problem for better assistance. Accurate calculations will clarify the impact of traffic on travel time.

Homework Statement




On certain days, traveling to Balamb from Galbadia using a bus takes an average speed of 70 km/hr. The trip takes about 18 minutes. On a busy traffic day, the drive slows down to 40 km/hr over the same distance. How much longer does the trip takes?

Thanks

Unfortunately you have completely deleted the "attempt at the solution" section from your new post so we can't see what you have already tried.

To get you started: it may help to first calculate the distance of the bus trip.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
