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

A dentist’s drill starts from rest. After 4.28 s of constant angular acceleration it turns at a rate of 28940 rev/min. Find the
mylen [45]

Answer:

Angular acceleration, is 708.07\ rad/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the drill, \omega_i=0

After 4.28 s of constant angular acceleration it turns at a rate of 28940 rev/min, final angular speed, \omega_f=28940\ rev/min=3030.58\ rad/s

We need to find the drill’s angular acceleration. It is given by the rate of change of angular velocity.

\alpha =\dfrac{\omega_f}{t}\\\\\alpha =\dfrac{3030.58\ rad/s}{4.28\ s}\\\\\alpha =708.07\ rad/s^2

So, the drill's angular acceleration is 708.07\ rad/s^2.

Give me advantages and disadvantages of sustainable energy:​
AVprozaik [17]
An advantage of sustainable energy is that it diversifies the energy supply and reduces importance on imported fuels.
A disadvantage is that all types of gaining access to sustainable energy requires a lot of space/ land. This may prevent important necessities such as housing to not have enough land. Hope this helps ;)

A 1300 kg car moving at 20 m/s and a 900 kg car moving at 15 m/s in precisely oppositedirections participate in a head-on crash.
miskamm [114]

Given

Car 1

m1 = 1300 kg

v1 = 20 m/s

m2 = 900 kg

v2 = -15 m/s

(Negative sign shows that direction of car 2 is opposite to car 1)

Procedure

As per the conservation of linear momentum, "The total momentum of the system before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision". And this applies to the perfectly inelastic collision as well. Then the expression is,

\begin{gathered} m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v \\ v=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2} \\ v=\frac{1300\operatorname{kg}\cdot20m/s-900\operatorname{kg}\cdot15m/s}{1300\operatorname{kg}+900\operatorname{kg}} \\ v=5.681m/s \end{gathered}

Thus, we can conclude that the speed and direction of the cars after the impact is 5.68 m/s towards the first car.

A car starting from rest accelerates uniformly at 4.3 m/s^2 for 5.0 seconds. How far does the car move?
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Vf = 21.5 [m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following kinematics equation:

v_{f}= v_{i} +(a*t)\\

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 0

a = aceleration = 4.3 [m/s^2]

t = time = 5 [s]

Now replacing:

Vf = 0 + (4.3*5)

Vf = 21.5 [m/s]

Water waves in a small tank are 6.6 m long. They travel at a speed of 2.9 m/s. What is the frequency of the water
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

.439 Hz

Explanation:

Wavelength = 6.6 m

speed = 2.9 m/s

  2.9 = 6.6 f

f = 2.9/6.6 =  .439 Hz
