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

At this rate, what fraction of its mass would io lose in 4. 5 billion years?.
Pie

In 4.5 billion years, the amount of mass lost is 1.41912 * 10¹⁷ kg.

<h3>Equation</h3>

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Given that:

Io loses about a ton (1000 kilograms) of sulfur dioxide per second to Jupiter's magnetosphere.

In 4.5 billion years, amount of mass lost = 1000 kg/s * (4.5 * 10⁹ * 365 * 60 60 * 24) = 1.41912 * 10¹⁷ kg.

In 4.5 billion years, the amount of mass lost is 1.41912 * 10¹⁷ kg.

Uranus and neptune have methane clouds but jupiter and saturn do not. Which factor explains why?.
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Temperature on Jupiter and Saturn are too high for methane to condense.

Explanation:

However, methane can condense on Uranus and Neptune because they are farther from the sun and hence colder.

on a very muddy football field, a 120 kg linebacker tackles an 75 kg halfback. immediately before the collision, the linebacker
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
B4 the tackle: 

<span>The linebacker's momentum = 115 x 8.5 = 977.5 kg m/s north </span>

<span>and the halfback's momentum = 89 x 6.7 = 596.3 kg m/s east </span>


<span>After the tackle they move together with a momentum equal to the vector sum of their separate momentums b4 the tackle </span>

<span>The vector triangle is right angled: </span>

<span>magnitude of final momentum = √(977.5² + 596.3²) = 1145.034 kg m/s </span>

<span>so (115 + 89)v(f) = 1145.034 ←←[b/c p = mv] </span>

<span>v(f) = 5.6 m/s (to 2 sig figs) </span>


<span>direction of v(f) is the same as the direction of the final momentum </span>

<span>so direction of v(f) = arctan (596.3 / 977.5) = N 31° E (to 2 sig figs) </span>


<span>so the velocity of the two players after the tackle is 5.6 m/s in the direction N 31° E </span>




<span>btw ... The direction can be given heaps of different ways ... N 31° E is probably the easiest way to express it when using the vector triangle to find it</span>

What is the kinetic energy of a 0.135 kg baseball thrown at 40 m/s
Ronch [10]
KE = 1/2 * m * v^2
KE = 1/2 * 0.135 * 40^2
KE = 1/2 * 0.135 * 1600
KE = 108 J

What evidence did wegener have to support his theory of plate tectonics?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Wegener first thought of this idea by noticing that the different large landmasses of the Earth almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. The continental shelf of the Americas fits closely to Africa and Europe, and other continents showed the same trend. Wegner also analyzed both sides of the Atlantic Ocean for rock type, geological structures and fossils and noticed that there was a significant similarity between matching sides of the continents, especially in fossil plants.
