Answer:

v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of an electromagnetic wave traveling in a transparent nonmagnetic substance is given by :

v=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{k\mu_o\epsilon_o}}

Where

k is the dielectric constant of the substance.

v is the speed of light in water

c=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1.78\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}}

v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s

So, the speed of light in water is 2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s

Feliz [49]

Answer:

B). to the right

Explanation:

Since the direction of magnetic field is into the page

So here we know that

B = B_o(-\hat k)

now the velocity is from bottom to top

so we have

v = v_o \hat j

now the force on the moving charge is given as

\vec F = q(\vec v \times \vec B)

now we have

\vec F = (-e)(v_o \hat j \times B_o(-\hat k))

\vec F = e v_o B \hat i

so force will be towards Right

if 130N centripetal force is needed to keep a 0.45kg ball that is attached to a string that is 0.7m long to complete 5 full rota
andrezito [222]

Answer:

centripetal acceleration of the ball is 6.9 m/s/s

tangential speed of the ball is 2.2 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that ball complete 5 rotations in 10 seconds

so frequency of rotation of ball is given as

f = \frac{5}{10} = 0.5 Hz

now we know that angular frequency is given as

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2(\pi)(0.5)

\omega = \pi rad/s

Now centripetal acceleration is given as

a_c = \omega^2 R

a_c = \pi^2 (0.7)

a_c = 6.9 m/s^2

now the velocity of the ball at this angular frequency is given as

v = R\omega

v = 0.7 (\pi)

v = 2.2 m/s
