Answer: 1.43

Explanation:

Given that:

C (critical angle) = 44.4°

n (refractive index of plastic) = ?

Apply the formula n = 1/sineC, the index of refraction for the plastic can be obtained by:

n = 1/sineC

n = 1/sine 44.4°

n = (1/0.6996)

n = 1.43

Thus, the index of refraction for the plastic is 1.43

To qualify to run in the 2005 Boston Marathon, a distance of 26.2 miles, an 18-year-old woman had to have completed another mara

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

7,14545 mph and 3,1936 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed is calculated by dividing the displacement over time, then it is 26,2 miles/(3 2/3 hours), here 3 (2/3) hours is a mixed number, that represents 11/3 hours or 3,66 hours. Then the average speed is 7,14545 mph, now to turn this into meters per second, we notice as mentioned that 1 mile =1609 meters and 1 hour=3600 seconds. Then 7,14545 miles/hour* (1 hour/3600 seconds) * (1609 meters/1 mile)=3,1936 m/s

Allushta [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

A (the entire green box): Chemical Equation

B (the blue box): Reactants

C (the arrow): Reacts to Form

D (the number): Coefficient

E (the purple box): Products

Explanation:

The chemical reaction of burning methane and oxygen is as follows;

Here, the green part A is the chemical equation that includes various parts that are reactants B, methane, and oxygen, C is an arrow that indicates the formation of products.

2 is here coefficient that indicates the moles of the oxygen which forms carbon dioxide and water in box E is products
