Answer:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

Explanation:

Refraction: It is a process in which light ray travel from one medium to another medium.

When a light travel form one medium to another medium then the speed of light changes.

When a light travel from rare to denser medium then the light bend towards normal .

When a light travel form denser to rare medium then the light ray bend away from the normal.

Refractive index:It is a ratio of velocity of light in vacuum to the velocity of light in medium .It is a measure of change in speed of light when it passes from vacuum into material.It is represented by "n''.

Mathematical representation:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

Where n=Refractive index of material

c=Velocity of light in vacuum

v=Velocity of light in medium

During the power stroke energy released by combustion generates the force that:_______.

Inessa05 [86]

Explanation:

An IC engines means an Internal Combustion engine. Here, the combustion takes place in side a chamber or a cylinder internally, hence it is known as internal combustion engine.

Combustion is the process where oxygen reacts with the fuel and it burns to produce a large amount of force and heat. In each revolution of the crank, the engine creates a power stroke when the piston goes from the bottom dead center to the top dead center.

During each power stroke, the energy released forces the piston down and the crankshaft is rotated.

Two gliders collide on an air track moving in from opposite directions, and they bounce back. The masses of the gliders are 0.20

timurjin [86]

Answer:

so initial momentum is 0.22kgm/s

Explanation:

m1=0.20kg

m2=0.30kg

initial velocity of m1=u1=0.50m/s

initial velocity of m2=u2=0.40m/s

total momentum of the system before collision

Pi=m1u1+m2u2

Pi=0.20kg×0.50m/s+0.30kg×0.40m/s

Pi=0.1kgm/s+0.12kgm/s

Pi=0.22kgm/s

calculate the period of a wave whose frequency is 5 Hertz and whose wavelength is one centimeter give your answer in a decimal f

olga2289 [7]

The period of the wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.

1 / (5 per second) = 0.2 second .

The wavelength is irrelevant to the period. But since you
gave it to us, we can also calculate the speed of the wave.

Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)

= (5 per second) x (1cm) = 5 cm per second
