Answer:
Average speed equals distance / time
380 / 40 = 9.5 m/s.

is that all the question?
Answer:
Explanation:
If we assume there is a sharp boundary between the two masses of air, there will be a refraction. The refractive index of each medium will depend on the relative speeds of light.
n = c / v
If light travels faster in warmer air, it will have a lower refractive index
nh < nc
Snell's law of refraction relates angles of incidence and refracted with the indexes of refraction:
n1 * sin(θ1) = n2 * sin(θ2)
sin(θ2) = sin(θ1) * n1/n2
If blue light from the sky passing through the hot air will cross to the cold air, then
n1 = nh
n2 = nc
Then:
n1 < n2
So:
n1/n2 < 1
The refracted light will come into the cold air at angle θ2 wich will be smaller than θ1, so the light is bent upwards, creating the appearance of water in the distance, which is actually a mirror image of the sky.
<span>5.7 km/h north and 5.8 km/h west are instantaneous velocities, while 8.1 km/h is the average velocity.
This is because each value has a magnitude and direction so it is a velocity. Moreover, the 8.1 km/h is the resultant of the two velocities so it is the average while the other two are instantaneous.</span>
