NOTE: The given question is incomplete.

<u>The complete question is given below.</u>

A student measures the speed of yellow light in water to be 2.00 x 10⁸ m/s. Calculate the speed of light in air.

Solution:

Speed of yellow light in water (v) = 2.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Refractive Index of water with respect to air (μ) = 4/3

Refractive Index = Speed of yellow light in air / Speed of yellow light in water

Or,  The speed of yellow light in air = Refractive Index × Speed of yellow light in water

or,                                           = (4/3) × 2.00 x 10⁸ m/s

or,                                           = 2.67 × 10⁸ m/s ≈ 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

Hence, the required speed of yellow light in the air will be 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s.

Two cars cover the same distance in a straight line. Car a covers the distance at a constant velocity. Car b starts from rest an
Artyom0805 [142]

a) For the motion of car with uniform velocity we have , s = ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2, where s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, t is the time taken a is the acceleration.

In this case s = 520 m, t = 223 seconds, a =0 m/s^2

Substituting

       520 = u*223\\ \\u = 2.33 m/s

 The constant velocity of car a = 2.33 m/s

b) We have s = ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2

s = 520 m, t = 223 seconds, u =0 m/s

Substituting

      520 = 0*223+\frac{1}{2} *a*223^2\\ \\ a = 0.0209 m/s^2

Now we have v = u+at, where v is the final velocity

Substituting

        v = 0+0.0209*223 = 4.66 m/s

So final velocity of car b = 4.66 m/s

c) Acceleration = 0.0209 m/s^2

A sphere of metal has a mass of 1431 g and a diameter of 5.80 cm. What is the density of metal in g/cm3
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

You will need t find the volume of the sphere

 4/3 pi r^3    divide into the mass

1431 / (4/3 pi (5.8)^3) = 14 gm /cm^3

According to Ohm’s law, the ratio of voltage to current in a conductor is
valina [46]

According to Ohm’s law, the ratio of voltage to current in a conductor is  constant.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ohm's law defines that an electric current flowing through the conductor between two ends is directly proportionate to the voltage at these two points. The introduction of a constant proportionality, resistance, gives a simple mathematical equation describing this relationship. Particularly, Ohm's law also mentions that R is constant in this respect, i.e. not dependent on the current.

                                            I=\frac{V}{R}

Where,  

I is the current conduction in amperes

V is the voltage calculated by the conductor in volts

R is the conductor’s resistance in ohms.

What characteristic of liquids makes them pourbale
DedPeter [7]

   Liquids are pourable because they do not maintain a "solid" structure as solids do, but still have structure, unlike gasses. Why is this? The forces between liquid particles are weaker than the forces between solid particles. The particles are further apart and move around more easily.

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
