26. The speed of light in a certain medium is

1 answer:

6 0

The number we need in order to answer the question belongs in the space between the words "is" and "of". You left that blank blank, so there really isn't any question here to answer.

HOWEVER ... the refractive index of a medium can never be less than 1.0 , so we know for sure that <em>choice-a can't be</em> the correct answer.

A meteor moving 468 km per minute traveling in a south-to-north direction passed near Earth in 2013. Does this statement describ

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

this statement describes meteor's velocity,

because velocity is a vector quantity which has both magnitude as well as a specific direction and here the meteor's direction is specified in the statement hence we conclude that this statement describes meteor's velocity as well as speed too.

Two 125 kg bumper cars are moving toward each other in opposite directions. Car X is moving at 10 m/s and Car Z at −12 m/s when

nignag [31]

<h2>Given that,</h2>

Mass of two bumper cars, m₁ = m₂ = 125 kg

Initial speed of car X is, u₁ = 10 m/s

Initial speed of car Z is, u₂ = -12 m/s

Final speed of car Z, v₂ = 10 m/s

We need to find the final speed of car X after the collision. Let v₁ is its final speed. Using the conservation of momentum to find it as follows :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

v₁ is the final speed of car X.

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1=m_2v_2\\\\m_2v_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_2v_2\\\\m_1v_1=125\times 10+125\times (-12)-125\times 10\\\\v_1=\dfrac{-1500}{125}\\\\v_1=-12\ m/s$

So, car X will move with a velocity of -12 m/s.

When you irradiate a metal with light of wavelength 433 nm in an investigation of the photoelectric effect, you discover that a

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The right solution is:

(a) 2.87 eV

(b) 1.4375 eV

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength,

= 433 nm

Potential difference,

= 1.43 V

Now,

(a)

The energy of photon will be:

E = $\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{433\times 10^{-9}}$

= $4.59\times 10^{-19} \ J$

or,

= $\frac{4.59\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

= $2.87 \ eV$

(b)

As we know,

⇒ $Vq=\frac{hc}{\lambda}-\Phi_0$

By substituting the values, we get

⇒ $1.43\times 1.6\times 10^{19}=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{433\times 10^{-9}}-\Phi_0$

⇒ $\Phi_0=2.3\times 10^{-19} \ J$

or,

⇒ $=\frac{2.3\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

⇒ $=1.4375 \ eV$

A Carnot air conditioner operates between an indoor temperature of 20°C and an outdoor temperature of 39°C. How much energy does

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

D. 130 J

Explanation:

The coefficient of performance for a machine that is being used to cool, is given by:

$COP=\frac{Q_C}{W}=\frac{T_C}{T_H-T_C}$

Here $Q_C$ is the heat removed from the cold reservoir, W is the work required, that is, the energy required to remove the heat from the interior of the house, $T_C$ is the cold temperature and $T_H$ is the hot temperature. Recall use absolutes temperatures( $273.15+^\circ C$ ). Replacing and solving for W:

$W=Q_c\frac{T_H-T_C}{T_C}\\W=2000J\frac{312.15K-293.15K}{293.15K}\\W=129.63J$
