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

a tire with inner volume of 0.0250m^3 is filled with air at a gauge pressure of 36.0 psi. If the tire valve is opened to the atm
enyata [817]

Answer: Escaped volume = 0.0612m^3

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 = initial pressure in the tire = 36.0psi + 14.696psi = 50.696psi (guage + atmospheric pressure)

P2 = atmospheric pressure= 14.696psi

V1 = volume of tire =0.025m^3

V2 = escaped volume + V1 ( since air still remain in the tire)

V2 = P1V1/P2

V2 = 50.696×0.025/14.696

V2 = 0.0862m^3

Escaped volume = 0.0862 - 0.025 = 0.0612m^3

dexar [7]

A car of mass 1535 kg collides head-on with a parked truck of mass 2000 kg. Spring mounted bumpers ensure that the collision is essentially elastic. If the velocity of the truck is 17 km/h (in the same direction as the car's initial velocity) after the collision, what was the initial speed of the car <u>20kmh</u>

<h3>What is collision ?</h3>

A collision in physics is any situation in which two or more bodies quickly exert forces on one another. Despite the fact that the most common usage of the word "collision" refers to situations in which two or more objects clash violently, the scientific usage of the word makes no such assumptions.

The following are a few instances of physical encounters that scientists might classify as collisions:

  • Legs of an insect are said to collide with a leaf when it falls on one.
  • Every contact of a cat's paws with the ground while it strides across a lawn is seen as a collision, as is every brush of its fur with a blade of grass.
