By definition, the refractive index is
n = c/v
where c =  3 x 10⁸ m/s,  the speed of light in vacuum
v = the speed of light in the medium (the liquid).

The frequency of the light source is
f = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(495 x 10⁻⁹ m) = 6.0606 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Because the wavelength in the liquid is 434 nm = 434 x 10⁻⁹ m, 
v = (6.0606 x 10¹⁴ 1/s)*(434 x 10⁻⁹ m) = 2.6303 x 10⁸ m/s

The refractive index is (3 x 10⁸)/(2.6303 x 10⁸) = 1.1406

Answer:  a.  1.14

aluminum has a density of 2.7 g/cm3. if a chuck of aluminum with a mass of 16 g is placed in a graduated cylinder partially fill
sweet-ann [11.9K]
When placing the piece of aluminium in water, the level of water will rise by an amount equal to the volume of the piece of aluminum.
Therefore, we need to find the volume of that piece.

Density can be calculated using the following rule:
Density = mass / volume 
Therefore:
volume = mass / density
we are given that:
the density = 2.7 g / cm^3
the mass = 16 grams
Substitute in the equation to get the volume of the piece of aluminum as follows:
volume = 16 / 2.7 = 5.9259 cm^3

Since the water level will rise to an amount equal to the volume of aluminum, therefore, the water level will rise by 5.9259 cm^3

Round your answers to one decimal place.this parallel circuit has two resistors at 15 and 40 ohms. what is the total resistance?
lubasha [3.4K]
1) The equivalent resistance of two resistors in parallel is given by:
\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}
so in our problem we have
\frac{1}{R_{eq}} =  \frac{1}{15 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{40 \Omega}=0.092 \Omega^{-1}
and the equivalent resistance is
R_{eq} =  \frac{1}{0.092 \Omega^{-1}}=10.9 \Omega

2) If we have a battery of 12 V connected to the circuit, the current in the circuit will be given by Ohm's law, therefore:
I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}= \frac{12 V}{10.9 \Omega}=1.1 A

If the 50-kg crate starts from rest and achieves a velocity of v = 4 m/s
Kay [80]

Answer:

P = 227 N

Explanation:

Assuming the crate is on horizontal ground and subject to a horizontal force.

F = ma

P - μmg = ma

P = m(a + μg)

P = m(v²/2s + μg)

P = 50(4²/(2(5))+ 0.3(9.8))

P = 227 N

A force of 20. Newtons to the left exerted on a cart for 10. Seconds. For what period of time must a 50.-newton force to the rig
FinnZ [79.3K]
Impulse = (force) x (time)

The first impulse was (20 N) x (10 sec) = 200 meters/sec

The second one is (50 N) x (time) and we want it equal to the first one, so

(50 N) x (time) = 200 meters/sec

Divide each side by 50N :    Time = 200/50 = <em>4 seconds</em>

By the way, the quantity we're playing with here is the cart's <em>momentum</em>.
