Answer: 1.333

Explanation:

Index of refraction= n=c/v

Where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in material ( water) in this case.

n = 3.00.108/2.25.108

n =3.00/2.25

n = 1.333

Approximately 1.33

There is no unit because m/s cancels out m/s

N= velocity in vacuum/velocity in water 
n=3.00*10⁸m/s/2.25 *10⁸m/s= 3.00/2.25 ≈ 1.33

n ≈ 1.33

solniwko [45]

The frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

Explanation:

As the ear canal is like a tube with open at one end, the wavelength of sound passing through this tube will propagate 4 times its length of the tube. So wavelength of the sound wave will be equal to four times the length of the tube. Then the frequency can be easily determined by finding the ratio of velocity of sound to wavelength. As the velocity of sound is given as 339 m/s, then the wavelength of the sound wave propagating through the ear canal is  

Wavelength=4*Length of the ear canal

As length of the ear canal is given as 2.9 cm, it should be converted into meter as follows:

wavelength = 4*2.9*10^{-2} =0.116

Then the frequency is determined as

f=c/λ=339/0.116=2922 Hz=2.92 kHz.

So, the frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

A certain unbalanced force gives a 5kg object an acceleration of 15 m/s2. What would be the acceleration if the same force was a
stira [4]

Answer:

a2 = 2.5 m/s2

Explanation:

F1 = m1 a1 We use the same force so F1 = F2

= 5kg × 15m/s2 F2 = m2 a2

= 75N a2 is required

a2 = F2 / m2

= 75N / 30 kg

= 2.5 m/s2

A small steel roulette ball rolls around the inside of a 30 cm diameter roulette wheel. It is spun at 150 rpm, but is slows to 6
liraira [26]

Solution :

Given

Diameter of the roulette ball = 30 cm

The speed ball spun at the beginning = 150 rpm

The speed of the ball during a period of 5 seconds = 60 rpm

Therefore, change of speed in 5 seconds = 150 - 60

                                                                      = 90 rpm

Therefore,

90 revolutions in 1 minute

or In 1 minute the ball revolves 90 times

i.e. 1 min = 90 rev

     60 sec = 90 rev

        1 sec = 90/ 60 rec

         5 sec = $\frac{90}{60}\times 5$

                   = 75 rev

Therefore, the ball made 75 revolutions during the 5 seconds.
