An airplane flies with a constant speed of 600 km/h. to the west. How far can it travel in 1/4 hour?

d = 150 km

Explanation:

Speed of an airplane is 600 km/h

We need to find how far it travel in 1/4 hour.

We know that the speed of an object is given by distance travelled divided by the time taken. Let d is the distance covered in 1/4 hour. So,

So, it will cover 150 km.

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
