Answer:

The speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.

Explanation:

since the critical angle is Фc = 430, we know that the refractive index is given by:

n = 1/sin(Фc)

  = 1/sin(430)

  = 1.06

then if n is the refractive index of the medium and c is the speed of light, then the speed of light in the medium is given by:

v = c/n

  = (3×10^8)/(1.06)

  = 281907786.2 m/s

Therefore, the speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.

kramer
The flow of Direct current (DC) is constant and flows in one direction. Most digital electronics make use of DC. Alternating current (AC) periodically flows in reverse and is mostly used to deliver power to houses, buildings and the like. With that alone, you can already rule out A, C and D. 

The answer would then be B. constant, periodically reversing.

An airplane weighing 11,000 N climbs to a
Gennadij [26K]

The power in horsepower is 40.1 hp

Explanation:

We start by calculating the work done by the airplane during the climb, which is equal to its change in gravitational potential energy:

W=(mg)\Delta h

where

mg = 11,000 N is the weight of the airplane

\Delta h = 1.6 km = 1600 m is the change in height

Substituting,

W=(11,000)(1600)=17.6\cdot 10^6 J

Now we can calculate the power delivered, which is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W=17.6\cdot 10^6 J is the work done

t=9.8 min \cdot 60 = 588 s is the time taken

Substituting,

P=\frac{17.6\cdot 10^6 J}{588}=2.99\cdot 10^4 W

Finally, we can convert the power into horsepower (hp), keeping in mind that

1 hp = 746 W

Therefore,

P=\frac{2.99\cdot 10^4}{746}=40.1 hp

The mass of Object 2 is double the mass of Object 5. The mass of Object 4 is half of the mass of Object 5 and the mass of Object
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
This is a great problem if you like getting tied up in knots
and making smoke come out of your brain.

I found that it makes the problem a lot easier if I give the objects some
numbers. I'm going to say that the mass of Object 5 is 20 clods.

Let the mass of Mass of Object 5 be 20 clods .

Then . . .

-- The mass of Object 2 is double the mass of Object 5 = 40 clods.

-- The mass of Object 4 is half of the mass of Object 5 = 10 clods.
and
-- the mass of Object 3 is half of the mass of Object 4 = 5 clods.

So now, here are the masses:

Object #1 . . . . . unknown
Object #2 . . . . . 40 clods
Object #3 . . . . . 5 clods
Object #4 . . . . . 10 clods
Object #5 . . . . . 20 clods .

Now let's check out the statements, and see how they stack up:

Choice-A:
Object 3 and Object 5 exert the same gravitational force on Object 1.
Can't be.
Objects #3 and #5 have different masses, so they can't both
exert the same force on the same mass.

Choice-B.
Object 2 and Object 4 exert the same gravitational force on Object 1.
Can't be.
Objects #2 and #4 have different masses, so they can't both
exert the same force on the same mass.

Choice-C.
The gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 2 is greater than
the gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 4.
Yes ! Yay !
Object-2 has more mass than Object-4 has, so it must exert more force on
ANYTHING than Object-4 does, (as long as the distances are the same).

Choice-D.
The gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 3 is greater than the gravitational force between Object 1 and Object 5.
Can't be.
Object-3 has less mass than Object-5 has, so it must exert less force on
ANYTHING than Object-4 does, (as long as the distances are the same).

Conclusion:
If the DISTANCE is the same for all the tests, then Choice-C is
the only one that can be true.
