Answer:

The index of refraction,n= 1.5

Explanation:

Index of refraction, n is given by:

n = c/ v

Given: c = speed of light= 3.0×10^8m/s

v= speed of light in glass= 2.0×10^8m/s

n= (3.0×10^8)/(2.0×10^8)

n= 1.5

A soccer ball with mass 0.450 kg is initially moving with speed 2.20 m/s. A soccer player kicks the ball, exerting a constant fo
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

0.187 m

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the acceleration of the ball. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.450 Kg

Force (F) = 38 N

Acceleration (a) =?

F = m × a

38 = 0.450 × a

Divide both side by 0.450

a = 38 / 0.450

a = 84.44 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine the distance. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 2.20 m/s.

Final velocity (v) = 6 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 84.44 m/s²

Distance (s) =?

v² = u² + 2as

6² = 2.2² + (2 × 84.44 × s)

36 = 4.4 + 168.88s

Collect like terms

36 – 4.84 = 168.88s

31.52 = 168.88s

Divide both side by 168.88

s = 31.52 / 168.88

s = 0.187 m

Thus, the distance is 0.187 m

How are mathematics and science related?
____ [38]
The relationship between math and science is very complicated, yet at the same time very simple. In fact all scientific equations are expressed into some form of mathematical equations. Science is a body of knowledge about the Universe. Mathematics is a language that can describe relationships and change in relationships in a rational way. Science generally uses mathematics as a tool to describe science and vice versa.

A student is trying to determine the acceleration of a feather as she drops it to the ground. if the student is looking to achie
Anna [14]

The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.

All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.

If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.
