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 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
