Highway 1 Guide

We were driving north on 1 and just as the sun was setting there was like a really fast, bright light way up in the sky that traveled out toward the sea. It left a trail like an airplane but it was wayyy faster, like a comet or a shooting star. This must have been 10 miles out and as high as an airplane.

Then we saw about 10 emergency vehicles heading south on highway 1 from Monterey and PG.

Any idea what this could have been?

I’m driving down highway 1 in California between L.A and San Fransisco. Where are some memorable stops/sight/places to eat/activities to do? I’ve never been to the West Coast before.

big engined car meaning greater than 3000cc
small engined car meaning less than 2000cc
I know a big engined car would use up more fuel doing urban driving, but how about on the motorways?
i was having an argument with a friend and he was saying a mercedes S500 would consume less petrol than like a VW golf 1.6 on a motorway. obviously i thought otherwise?

I’ve heard two different views.
1. Pumping the brakes
2. Downshift to a lower gear

Which one is the better way?

I have a BMW 328 with 175000. Over the past 1 year, I have noticed the city fuel economy to be 16, while the highway is 30. Previously, I was getting 22 for city, and 30 for highway. Any suggestions appreciated.

A sand storage tank used by the highway department for winter storms is leaking. As the sand leaks out it forms a conical pile. The radius of the pile increases at the rate of 1 inch per minute. The height of the pile is always twice the radius of the base. Find the rate at which the volume of the pile is increasing at the instant the radius of the base is 5 inches

So far, I’ve been to:
South Dakota to sites where “Dances With Wolves” was filmed.
Juliette, Georgia (”Fried Green Tomatoes”)
Mackinac Island (”Somewhere in Time”)
Southern Utah (”Thelma and Louise”)

I’d love to go to the town in Scotland where “Local Hero” was shot, as well as the movie “Bandits” which was filmed down Highway 1 from Oregon to L.A. Wherever “The Princess Bride” was filmed would be cool, too.

How about you? Anywhere you’ve gone or would like to go?

My little sister borrowed my 1996 Buick LeSabre without asking and I found out she was going 70mph on the highway in 1. I always drive in (D) because that’s what I was told to drive in when I first got it. She even admitted that the engine got really loud. I’m so worried, but it sounds ok driving it after that. Please help!

I have a 2006 1.8S sentra. I’m stationed in Germany and I consistanly drive for 30 min to 2 hours at 80 to 100 miles an hour on the autobaun. The highest i will coast at is about 4000 rpm and the redline is 6500. I only use Royal Purple oil and change it every 2000 to 2500 miles. Is this bad for my vehicle?

How much solar energy (kJ) would have to be transferred to a 154.0 foot length of asphalt highway that is 43.0 feet wide and 21.7 centimeters deep in order to raise the temperature 1.00 oC ?

The average density of asphalt is 721 kg/m3

The specific heat of asphalt is 0.920 kJ/kg-oC
first, I found the volume, and then I found the mass. Then I used the equation q=(c)(m)(change in temp.) and got the answer as 4.96872 but it’s not the right answer…

help please?
okay, I got it now. thankss =]
