Change in momentum formula

The change in momentum resulting from an external force is called the impulse (I=mv-mvo) and is related to the force applied through the Impulse-Momentum Theorem: I = F tc = mv - mvo . Here F is the external force applied and tc is the amount of time the force is in contact with the object.

The speed of light in water is 2.25 x 108 m/s. What is true about the index of refraction of water? A. It is less than 1. B. It
guajiro [1.7K]
Good afternoon!


We can see that \mathsf{2.25\times10^8\ \textless \ 3\times10^8 = c}

The index of refraction can be calculated as:

\mathsf{n = \dfrac{c}{v}}

As we noted, \mathsf{v \ \textless \  c} , and therefore:

\mathsf{\dfrac{v}{v} \ \textless \  \dfrac{c}{v}}\\ \\ \\ \mathsf{\dfrac{c}{v} \ \textgreater \  1}

Beccause n = c/v, we have:

n > 1

B - Is more than 1.

A girl weighing 600 N steps on a bathroom scale that contains a stiff spring. In equilibrium, the spring is compressed 1.0 cm un
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The spring constant is 60,000 N

The total work done on it during the compression is 3 J

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the girl, W = 600 N

compression of the spring, x = 1 cm = 0.01 m

To determine the spring constant, we apply hook's law;

F = kx

where;

F is applied force or weight on the spring

k is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

k = F / x

k = 600 / 0.01

k = 60,000 N

The total work done on the spring = elastic potential energy of the spring, U;

U = ¹/₂kx²

U = ¹/₂(60000)(0.01)²

U = 3 J

Thus, the total work done on it during the compression is 3 J

The coefficient of friction on a surface is 0.25. A box requires 100N to slide it across the surface. What is the weight of the
Novosadov [1.4K]
So we know coefficient of f times normal force is friction. So do 100= .25 times x. Now solve for x. You get 400. So 400 is the normal force. And we know normal force equals weight in these types of problems so the answer is 400
