A. How long does it take light to travel through a 3.0-mm-thick piece of window glass?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

a) 1.517\times10^{-11} s

b) 3.41 mm

Explanation:

a)

We take the speed of light, c = 3.0\times10^8 m/s and the refractive index of glass as 1.517.

Speed = distance/time

Time = distance/speed

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

n=\dfrac{c}{s}

s=\dfrac{c}{n}

t=\dfrac{d}{c/n}

t=\dfrac{dn}{c}

t=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{3.0\times10^8}

t=1.517\times10^{-11}

b)

We take the refractive index of water as 1.333.

Speed in water = speed in vacuum / refractive index of water

Distance = speed * time

d=s\times t

d=\dfrac{c}{n_w}\times \dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{c}

d=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times 1.517}{1.333}

d = 3.41 mm

To initiate a nuclear reaction, an experimental nuclear physicist wants to shoot a proton into a 5.50-fm-diameter 12C nucleus. T
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

kinetic energy required = 1.80 MeV

= 1.8 x 10⁶ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

= 2.88 x 10⁻¹³ J

If v be the velocity of proton

1/2 x mass of proton x v² = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

= .5 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x v² = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

v² = 3.45 x 10¹⁴

v = 1.86 x 10⁷ m /s

If V be the potential difference required

V x e = kinetic energy . where e is charge on proton .

V x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 2.88 x 10⁻¹³

V = 1.8 x 10⁶ volt .

A ball is dropped from an aircraft flying at an altitude of 8,848 meters assuming gravity is 9.8m/s what is the total amount of
Dafna11 [192]
In this question, you're determining the time (t) taken for an object to fall from a distance (d).

The equation to represent this is:
Time equals the square root of 2 times the distance divided by the gravitational force of earth.
In equation from it looks like this (there isn't an icon to represent square root so just pretend like there's a square root there):
t = 2d/g (square-rooted)

d = 8,848m and g = 9.8m/s

Now plug in the information we have:
t = 2 x 8,848m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)

The first step is to multiply 2 times 8,848m:
t = 17,696m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)

Now divide 9.8m/s by 17,696m (note that the two m's (meters) cancels out leaving you with only s (seconds):
t = 1805.72s (square-rooted)

Now for the last step, find the square root of the remaining number:
t = 42.5s

So the time it takes the ball to drop from the height (distance) of 8,848 meters, and falling with the gravitational pull of 9.8 meters per second is 42.5 seconds.

I hope this helps :)
