Dispersion occurs due to the different degrees of refraction experienced by different colours of light. Light of different colours may travel with the same speed in a vacuum, but they travel at different speeds in some refracting medium. The speed of violet light is relatively lower than that of red light.

A rocket travels 1.3 km in 62 ms. What is its average speed in m⋅s−1? Do not give your answer in scientific notation. The answer

Answer:

Average speed = 0.35 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 1.3 Km

Time = 62 minutes

To find the average speed in m/s;

First of all, we would convert the quantities to their standard unit (S.I) of measurement;

Conversion:

1.3 kilometres to meters = 1.3 * 1000 = 1300 meters

For time;

1 minute = 60 seconds

62 minutes = X

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 62 * 60

X = 3720 seconds

Now, we can calculate the average speed in m/s using the formula;

$Speed = \frac {distance}{time}$

$Speed = \frac {1300}{3720}$

Average speed = 0.35 m/s
