Sally and Ramona were competing in a four-lap, one-mile foot race. Sally’s style was to run at a constant rate of 12 mph. Ramona

decided to run her first three laps at 11 mph, and save a ‘kick’ in order to run a 16 mph pace for the fourth and final lap. Who wins the race, and by how many minutes or seconds?

Sally wins the race by 0.03 min

Explanation:

To find time = distance / velocity

Sally;

1 mile / 12 mph

= ¹/12 hrs * 60

= 5 min

Ramona;

³/4 mile ÷ 11 mph  +  ¹/4 mile ÷ 16 mph

= ³/44 hrs + ¹/64 hrs

= 4.09 min + 0.94 min

= 5.03 min

A student measures the speed of yellow light in water to be 2.00x10^8
max2010maxim [7]

NOTE: The given question is incomplete.

<u>The complete question is given below.</u>

A student measures the speed of yellow light in water to be 2.00 x 10⁸ m/s. Calculate the speed of light in air.

Solution:

Speed of yellow light in water (v) = 2.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Refractive Index of water with respect to air (μ) = 4/3

Refractive Index = Speed of yellow light in air / Speed of yellow light in water

Or,  The speed of yellow light in air = Refractive Index × Speed of yellow light in water

or,                                           = (4/3) × 2.00 x 10⁸ m/s

or,                                           = 2.67 × 10⁸ m/s ≈ 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

Hence, the required speed of yellow light in the air will be 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s.

an aeroplane moving horizontally with a speed of 180 km/hr drops a food packet while flying at a height of 490m . the horizontal
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
The time the package travels horizontally is equal to the time it takes to hit the ground. This can be calculated using:
s = ut + 1/2 at²; u is 0
480 = 4.9t²
t = 9.90 seconds

Horizontal distance = horizontal speed x time
The speed will be converted to m/s from km/h
= 180 km/hr x 1000m/km x 1hr/3600 seconds x 9.90 seconds
= 495 m
