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

You are standing at the top of a cliff that has a stairstep configuration. There is a vertical drop of 7 m at your feet, then a
Zolol [24]

Answer:

1. v = 6.67 m/s

2. d = 9.54 m

Explanation:

1. To find the horizontal velocity of the rock we need to use the following equation:

d = v*t \rightarrow v = \frac{d}{t}    

<u>Where</u>:

d: is the distance traveled by the rock

t: is the time

The time can be calculated as follows:

t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{g}}

<u>Where:</u>

g: is gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*7 m}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} = 1.20 s

Now, the horizontal velocity of the rock is:

v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{8 m}{1.20 s} = 6.67 m/s      

Hence, the initial velocity required to barely reach the edge of the shell below you is 6.67 m/s.          

2. To calculate the distance at which the projectile will land, first, we need to find the time:

t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*(7 m + 3 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} = 1.43 s

So, the distance is:

d = v*t = 6.67 m/s*1.43 s = 9.54 m    

Therefore, the projectile will land at 9.54 m of the second cliff.

I hope it helps you!

Two spherical shells have a common center. A -2.1 10-6 C charge is spread uniformly over the inner shell, which has a radius of
julsineya [31]

Answer:

a) E_total = 6,525 10⁴ N /C ,field direction is radial outgoing

b)  E_total = 1.89 10⁶ N / C, field is incoming radial

c) E_total = 0

Explanetion:

For this exercise we can use that the charge in a spherical shell can be considered concentrated at its center and that the electric field inside the shell is zero, since Gauss's law is

                Ф = E .dA = q_{int} /ε₀

inside the spherical shell there are no charges

The electric field is a vector quantity, so we calculate the field created by each shell and add it vectorly.

We have two sphere shells with radii 0.050m and 0.15m respectively

a) point where you want to know the electric field d = 0.20 m

shell 1

the point is on the outside,d>ro,  therefore we can consider the charge to be concentrated in the center

            E₁ = k q₁ / d²

             

shell 2

the point is on the outside,d>ro

             E₂ = k q₂ / d²

the total camp is

              E_total = -E₁ + E₂

              E_total = k ( \frac{-q_1 + q_2}{d^2})

              E_total = 9 10⁹ (-2.1 10⁻⁶+ 5 10⁻⁶ / .2²

              E_total = 6,525 10⁵ N /C

The field direction is radial and outgoing ti the shells

b) the calculation point is d = 0.10m

shell 1

point outside the shell d> ro

                 E₁ = k q₁ / d²

shell 2

the point is inside the shell d <ro

Therefore, according to Gauss's law, since there are no charges in the interior, the electrioc field is zero

                E₂ = 0

               

                 E_total = E₁

                 E_total = k q₁ / d²

                 E_total = 9 10⁹ 2.1 10⁻⁶ / 0.1²

                 E_total = 1.89 10⁶ N / A

As the charge is negative, this field is incoming radial, that is, it is directed towards the shell 1

c) the point of interest d = 0.025 m

shell 1

point  is inside the shell d< ro

                 

as there are no charges inside

                     E₁ = 0

shell 2

point is inside the radius of the shell d <ro

                    E₂ = 0

the total field is

                    E_total = 0

Two wires A and B with circular cross-section are made of the same metal and have equal lengths, but the resistance of wire A is
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

r₁/r₂ = 1/2 = 0.5

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by the following formula:

R = ρL/A

where,

R = Resistance of wire

ρ = resistivity of the material of wire

L = Length of wire

A = Cross-sectional area of wire = πr²

r = radius of wire

Therefore,

R = ρL/πr²

<u>FOR WIRE A</u>:

R₁ = ρ₁L₁/πr₁²   -------- equation 1

<u>FOR WIRE B</u>:

R₂ = ρ₂L₂/πr₂²   -------- equation 2

It is given that resistance of wire A is four times greater than the resistance of wire B.

R₁ = 4 R₂

using values from equation 1 and equation 2:

ρ₁L₁/πr₁² = 4ρ₂L₂/πr₂²

since, the material and length of both wires are same.

ρ₁ = ρ₂ = ρ

L₁ = L₂ = L

Therefore,

ρL/πr₁² = 4ρL/πr₂²

1/r₁² = 4/r₂²

r₁²/r₂² = 1/4

taking square root on both sides:

<u>r₁/r₂ = 1/2 = 0.5</u>

The distance between Earth and Mars is 225 million km. When converted using the conversion factor 1 AU = 1.5 × 108 km, the dista
noname [10]
To convert km to AU, we divide 225,000,000 km by the factor of 1.5 x 10^8 = 150,000,000 km. This gives us 225,000,000 / 150,000,000 = 1.5 AU. Therefore, the distance between Earth and Mars in AU is 1.5 AU.
The AU is not equivalent to a light-year. A light-year is equivalent to around 9.5 x 10^12 kilometers.
