What is the main difference between a maglev train and a normal train?

Regular trains follow train tracks and travel on rails; Maglev trains are Magnetically Levitated using powerful electromagnets, so that they actually hover slightly above the ground. This massively reduces friction and allows them to travel much faster (kind of like how a puck can go really far with only a little push on an air hockey table).

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 of the following mixture can be separate using decantation method?

vivado [14]

Answer:

Hi sorry for answering here but you didnt put the options there

Explanation:

I'll still try to answer though so maybe the mixture from one of the questions might be something like oil and water which don't mix and can be separated by decantation so something similar would work. Hope this helps
