Light travels at 3.0 × 108 m/s in a vacuum and slows to 2.0 × 108 m/s in glass. What is the index of refraction of glass?

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

At what time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward?
Svetlanka [38]

The time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward is 2.0204 s.

<h3>What is the time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward?</h3>

The motion of the boulder is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration

a = g = -9.8 $$m / s^2

downward (acceleration due to gravity).

By using Suvat equation:

v = u + at

where: v is the velocity at time t

u = 40.0 m/s is the initial velocity

a = g = -9.8 $$m/s^2 is the acceleration

To find the time t at which the velocity is v = 20.7 m/s

Therefore,

$t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{20.7-40}{-9.8}=2.0204 \mathrm{~s}

The time after being ejected is the boulder moving at a speed 20.7 m/s upward is 2.0204 s.

The complete question is:

A large boulder is ejected vertically upward from a volcano with an initial speed of 40.0 m/s. Ignore air resistance. At what time after being ejected is the boulder moving at 20.7 m/s upward?

A 150kg person stands on a compression spring with spring constant 10000n/m and nominal length of 0.50.what is the total length
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

<em>The total length of the spring would be 0.65 m</em>

Explanation:

The Concept

Hooke's law evaluates the increment of  spring in relation to the force acting on the body. Hooke's law states that for a spring undergoing deformation, the  force applied is directly proportional to the deformation experienced by the spring. Hooke's law is represented thus;

F = k x ..................1

where F is the force applied to the spring

k is the spring constant

x is the spring stretch or extension

Step by Step Calculations

We have to obtain x before adding it to the nominal length, We make x the subject formula in equation 1;

x = F/k

but F = m x g

so, x = (m x g)/k

given that, the mass of the person m =150 kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^{2}

k is the spring constant = 10000 N/m

then x = (9.81 m/s^{2} x 150 kg)/10000 N/m

x = 0.14715 m

the extension experienced by the spring after the compression is 0.14715 m

The total length of the spring would be;

L = 0.14715 m + 0.5 m = 0.64715

L ≈  0.65 m

Therefore the total length of the spring would be 0.65 m

Nataly_w [17]

The idea that "students ' immune systems have declined due to the use of hand sanitizers " is a hypothesis.

The term hypothesis refers to an intelligent guess or idea often based which is subject to scientific investigation via experiments.

A hypothesis may be right or wrong. We can only prove a hypothesis by subjecting it to a series of rigorous experiments.

Thus Collette's idea is a hypothesis.
