Answer:

a) 3.33 ns

b) Water distance = 0.75 m

Glass distance = 0.66 m

Diamond distance = 0.41 m

Explanation:

We take the speed of light, c = m/s.

Speed = distance/time

Time = distance/speed

a)

t=\dfrac{1}{3.0\times10^{8}}=3.33\times10^{-9}

t = 3.33 ns

b)

Refractive index, n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

n=\dfrac{c}{s}

s=\dfrac{c}{n}

d=s\times t

d=\dfrac{c}{n}\times \dfrac{1}{c}

d=\dfrac{1}{n}

Thus, the distance traveled in the same time is numerically equal to the reciprocal of the refractive index.

For water n = 1.333

d = 1/1.333 = 0.75 m

For glass n = 1.517

d = 0.66 m

For diamond n = 2.417

d = 0.41 m

A race car has a mass of 710 kg. It starts from rest and travels 40 m in 3.0 s. The car is uniformly accelerated during the enti
Archy [21]

The net force applied to it is 6311.9 N.

To calculate the net force to the car, first, we need to find the acceleration using the equation of motion.

Force: This as be defined as the product of mass and acceleration of a body. The S.I unit of force is Newton (N)

⇒ Formula

  • S = ut+at²/2................. Equation 1

⇒ Where:

  • u = Initial velocity
  • S = Distance
  • t = Time
  • a = acceleration

From the question,

 ⇒Given:

  • S = 40 m
  • t = 3.0 s
  • u = 0 m/s (at rest)

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 1

  • 40 = 0(3)+a(3²)/2

⇒ Solve for a

  • 9a = 80
  • a = 80/9
  • a = 8.89 m/s²

⇒ To get the force, we use the formula below

  • F = ma    .................... Equation 2

⇒ Where:

  • F = Force applied
  • m = mass of the car

⇒ Given:

  • m = 710 kg
  • a = 8.89 m/s²

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 2

  • F = 710(8.89)
  • F = 6311.9 N

Hence the net force applied to it is 6311.9 N.

A basketball is rolling with a velocity of 0.5 meters/second relative to the ground and due north. A tennis ball is rolling with
Lisa [10]
Since the basketball and the tennis ball both travel to the same direction relative to the ground, the velocity of the basketball relative to the tennis ball is therefore the difference of their velocities.
                                     0.5 m/s - 0.25 m/s = 0.25 m/s
Thus, the basketball travel for 0.25 m/s relative to the tennis ball.
