The speed of light is determined by the medium (material) through which the light is travelling. Light travels faster in a vacuum than it does in any other medium. Light changes speed as it passes from one medium to another. This is called refraction.

A child pulls on a wagon with a force of 75 N. If the wagon moves a total of 42 m in 3.1 min, what is the average power delivere
exis [7]

Answer:

16.96 W

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the rate at which work is done by an object. The S.I unit of power is Watt(W).

From the question,

P = (F×d)/t....................... Equation 1

Where P = power, F = force, d = distance, t = time.

Given: F = 75 N, d = 42 m, t = 3.1 min = 3.1×60 = 186 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (75×42)/186

P = 16.94 W

Hence the average power delivered by the child  = 16.96 W

Ground reaction force acting on carter
mezya [45]
We don't know Carter, and we don't know where he is or what
he's doing, so I'm taking a big chance speculating on an answer.

I'm going to say that if Carter is pretty much just standing there,
or, let's say, lying on the ground taking a nap, then the force of
the ground acting on him is precisely exactly equal to his weight.

A small airplane flies 780 miles with an average speed of 260 miles per hour. 1.5 hours after the plane leaves, a Boeing 747 lea
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

520 miles per hour

Explanation:

Let the speed of the Boeing 747 be x miles per hour.

The small airplane covers distance of 780 miles with speed 260 miles per hour.

Also,

After 1.5 hours the Boeing 747 leave the same place and reaches at same time. Both covered distance of 780 miles.

So,

<u>Time taken by Boeing 747 + 1.5 hours = Time taken by small plane.</u>

Also,

Time =  Distance/ speed

So,

780 / x + 1.5 = 780/ 260

Solving for x, we get:

<u>x = 520 miles per hour</u>
