Hot coals of wood? Wood is not coals. So they can't burn their feet, there are no hot coals, just wood.

The correct answer of this question is : Low thermal conductivity of hot coals.

EXPLANATION :

Before going to answer of this question, first we have to understand the nature of hot coals of wood in terms of conductivity.

The thermal conductivity of the wood is very small i.e it is thermally insulator.

Due to the less thermal conductivity of wood, the heat partially flows to the foot. The person will feel the heat, but not as much as the heat given by thermal conductors.

Hence, a barefoot person person can walk on hot coals of wood.

What was his average swimming speed during the second half of the race if he tied the record, which was at an average speed of 2

Nimfa-mama [501]

<span>I believe this question has additional detail which stated that during the 1st half, his speed was 2.01 m/s. From this we can calculate his speed during the second half, v2, using the formula:</span>

v_ave = (v1 + v2) / 2

2.05 m/s = (2.01 m/s + v2) / 2

Do you see that blank, open space after the word "potential ..." ?

There's supposed to be a number there that actually tells us the value of the potential. Without that number ... and a lot more description of the whole scenario here ... there's no possible answer to the question.
