If the speed of light in air is 3.00 times 10 to the 8 m/s power and the speed of light in water is 2.25 times 10 to the 8 power

m/s what is the index of refraction of water

The refractive index is essentially the speed of light through a vacuum (extremely similar to air) divided by the speed of light through given medium.
I also attached some of my physics notes on refraction and that sort of jazz as they may help :)

On February 15, 2013, Asteroid 2012 DA14 passed within 17,200 miles [mi] of the surface of the Earth at a relative speed of 7.8
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The total amount of energy that would have been released if the asteroid hit earth = The kinetic energy of the asteroid = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J = 1.29 PetaJoules = 1.29 PJ

1 PJ = 10¹⁵ J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = mv²/2

velocity of the asteroid is given as 7.8 km/s = 7800 m/s

To obtain the mass, we get it from the specific gravity and diameter information given.

Density = specific gravity × 1000 = 3 × 1000 = 3000 kg/m³

But density = mass/volume

So, mass = density × volume.

Taking the informed assumption that the asteroid is a sphere,

Volume = 4πr³/3

Diameter = 30 m, r = D/2 = 15 m

Volume = 4π(15)³/3 = 14137.2 m³

Mass of the asteroid = density × volume = 3000 × 14137.2 = 42411501 kg = 4.24 × 10⁷ kg

Kinetic energy of the asteroid = mv²/2 = (4.24 × 10⁷)(7800²)/2 = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J

Which has the larger kinetic energy, a 10 g bullet fired at 400 m/s or a 80 kg bowling ball rolled at 6.5 m/s ?
mixer [17]
Formulae for Kinetic energy is:
Kinetic Energy= 1/2xmassx(velocity)^2

For comparison we need to have same units,thus we convert 10g into Kg.
10g/1000=0.01Kg

Input the value of bullet in the formulae;
Kinetic Energy= 1/2x0.01kgx(400)^2
K.E=800J

Input value of the ball:
Kinetic Energy=1/2x80kgx(6.5)^2
K.E=1690J

Which means that th Energy of the ball is more than the bullet.

A block of mass m = 4.8 kg slides from left to right across a frictionless surface with a speed Vi=7.3m/s. It collides with a bl
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The speed of the 11.5kg block after the collision is V≅4.1 m/s

Explanation:

ma= 4.8 kg

va1= 7.3 m/s

va2= - 2.5 m/s

mb= 11.5 kg

vb1= 0 m/s

vb2= ?

vb2= ( ma*va1 - ma*va2) / mb

vb2= 4.09 m/s ≅ 4.1 m/s
