Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Average speed = (21 km) / (1/2 hour)

Average speed = (21/0.5) (km/hour)

Average speed = 42 km/hr

A very slow airplane ! Maybe an ultralight, a motorized hang-glider, etc.

30 minutes is 1/2 of an hour.

So if you just multiplied 21×2, you would get you answer.
The answer is:
42 kilometers per hour

Calculate the index of refraction for a medium in which the speed of light is 2.1x 108 m/s. The speed of light in vacuum is 3x10

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

n = 1.42

Explanation:

The refractive index for a medium is given by the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a medium.

$n=\dfrac{c}{v}\\\\n=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{2.1\times 10^8}\\\\n = 1.42$

So, the refractive index of the medium is 1.42.

Which quantity and unit are INCORRECTLY paired?

liq [111]

Force, the unit is Newton, newton is the force to accelerate a mass. so it should be kg m/s^2

joule (J) is equal to Nm not Ns

the unit of work is J and it is correct.
the unit of power is J/s which is equal to W
the unit of of energy is the same with work, which is J which equivalent to kgm2/s2

As a woman walks, her entire weight is momentarily placed on one heel of her high-heeled shoes. Calculate the pressure exerted o

astraxan [27]

Answer:

3.6 x 10⁶ Pa

Explanation:

A = Area of the heel = 1.50 cm² = 1.50 x 10⁻⁴ m²

m = mass of the woman = 55.0 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Force of gravity on the heel is given as

F = mg

Inserting the values

F = (55) (9.8)

F = 539 N

Pressure exerted on the floor is given as

$P = \frac{F}{A}$

$P = \frac{539}{1.5\times 10^{-4}}$

P = 3.6 x 10⁶ Pa
