If the refractive index of benzere is 2.419, what is the speed of light in benzene?

Physics

Grace [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

v=1.24\times 10^8\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The refractive index of benzene is 2.419

We need to find the speed of light in benzene. The ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in the medium equals the refractive index. So,

n=\dfrac{c}{v}\\\\v=\dfrac{c}{n}\\\\v=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{2.419}\\\\v=1.24\times 10^8\ m/s

So, the speed of light in bezene is 1.24\times 10^8\ m/s.

mixer [17]

Answer:

Both the astronauts and photographer have the same displacement

Explanation:

Displacement is the minimum distance between two point. The initial point of both the astronauts and the photographer was Florida and the final point was California. So, the minimum distance for both of the astronauts and the photographer would be the distance between Florida and California would be the same.

Hence, both the astronauts and photographer will have the same displacement.

a girl that has a mass of 55kg is standing on a floor, how much supporting force does the floor have?
KengaRu [80]
A girl standing on a floor would have two opposite forces acting on it. These forces are the weight and the normal force. Since no other forces are acting and that the girl is at rest, then the weight must equate to the normal force. Therefore, the supporting force would be:

F = mg = 55kg (9.81 m/s^2) = 539.55 N

A 1150 kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 7.69 m before contacting the beam,
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

the average force 11226 N  

Explanation:

Let's analyze the problem we are asked for the average force, during the crash, we can find this from the impulse-momentum equation, but this equation needs the speeds and times of the crash that we could look for by kinematics.

Let's start looking for the stack speeds, it has a free fall, from rest  (Vo=0)

             

           Vf² = Vo² - 2gY

            Vf² = 0 - 2 9.8 7.69 = 150.7

            Vf = 12.3 m / s

This is the speed that the battery likes when it touches the beam.  They also give us the distance it travels before stopping, let's calculate the time

         

            Vf = Vo - g t

             0 = Vo - g t

             t = Vo / g

             t = 12.3 / 9.8

             t = 1.26 s

This is the time to stop

Now let's use the equation that relates the impulse to the amount of movement

                 I = Δp

                F t = pf-po

The amount of final movement is zero because the system stops

                F = - po / t

                F = - mv / t

                F = - 1150 12.3 / 1.26

                F = -11226 N

This is the average force exerted by the stack on the vean
