  • A motorist travels 80 km at 100 km/h, and 50 km at 75 km/h. What is the average speed for the trip?

    I know that Average Speed = Total Distance / Time but I do not understand how to get the time out of the kph and the total distance.

  • Poetry Analysis: Sylvia Plath - Daddy (Need help understanding the deeper meaning)?

    You do not do, you do not do

    Any more, black shoe

    In which I have lived like a foot

    For thirty years, poor and white,

    Barely daring to breathe or Achoo.

    Daddy, I have had to kill you.

    You died before I had time--

    Marble-heavy, a bag full of God,

    Ghastly statue with one gray toe

    Big as a Frisco seal

    And a head in the freakish Atlantic

    Where it pours bean green over blue

    In the waters off beautiful Nauset.

    I used to pray to recover you.

    Ach, du.

    In the German tongue, in the Polish town

    Scraped flat by the roller

    Of wars, wars, wars.

    But the name of the town is common.

    My Polack friend

    Says there are a dozen or two.

    So I never could tell where you

    Put your foot, your root,

    I never could talk to you.

    The tongue stuck in my jaw.

    It stuck in a barb wire snare.

    Ich, ich, ich, ich,

    I could hardly speak.

    I thought every German was you.

    And the language obscene

    An engine, an engine

    Chuffing me off like a Jew.

    A Jew to Dachau, Auschwitz, Belsen.

    I began to talk like a Jew.

    I think I may well be a Jew.

    The snows of the Tyrol, the clear beer of Vienna

    Are not very pure or true.

    With my gipsy ancestress and my weird luck

    And my Taroc pack and my Taroc pack

    I may be a bit of a Jew.

    I have always been scared of you,

    With your Luftwaffe, your gobbledygoo.

    And your neat mustache

    And your Aryan eye, bright blue.

    Panzer-man, panzer-man, O You--

    Not God but a swastika

    So black no sky could squeak through.

    Every woman adores a Fascist,

    The boot in the face, the brute

    Brute heart of a brute like you.

    You stand at the blackboard, daddy,

    In the picture I have of you,

    A cleft in your chin instead of your foot

    But no less a devil for that, no not

    Any less the black man who

    Bit my pretty red heart in two.

    I was ten when they buried you.

    At twenty I tried to die

    And get back, back, back to you.

    I thought even the bones would do.

    But they pulled me out of the sack,

    And they stuck me together with glue.

    And then I knew what to do.

    I made a model of you,

    A man in black with a Meinkampf look

    And a love of the rack and the screw.

    And I said I do, I do.

    So daddy, I'm finally through.

    The black telephone's off at the root,

    The voices just can't worm through.

    If I've killed one man, I've killed two--

    The vampire who said he was you

    And drank my blood for a year,

    Seven years, if you want to know.

    Daddy, you can lie back now.

    There's a stake in your fat black heart

    And the villagers never liked you.

    They are dancing and stamping on you.

    They always knew it was you.

    Daddy, daddy, you bastard, I'm through.
