<span>Light travels Slower in a material with a higher index of refraction.
because </span><span>Water has a higher index of refraction than air and it travels slower (bends) in water
high index mean slow travel
hope it helps</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity of the object.
Mathematically, it is calculated as:
where
u is the initial velocity
v is the final velocity
t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v
Acceleration is a vector, so it is important to also take into account the direction of the velocity.
For the particle in this problem, we have:
u = +48 m/s is the initial velocity (positive direction)
v = -92 m/s is the final velocity (negative direction)
t = 4.5 s is the time interval
Therefore, the average acceleration is
The force constant of the spring is determined as 14,222.2 N/m.
<h3>Force constant of the spring</h3>
Apply the principle of conservation of energy,
K.E = U
where;
- K.E kinetic energy of the elevator
- U is elastic potential energy of the spring
¹/₂mv² = ¹/₂kx²
mv² = kx²
k = mv²/x²
Where;
- m is mass of the elevator
- v is speed
- x is compression of the spring
k = (2000 x 8²)/(3²)
k = 14,222.2 N/m
Thus, the force constant of the spring is determined as 14,222.2 N/m.

When I ride the train, the song of the train whistle is an example of the Doppler Effect. Because a train is at the center of sound waves it produces, which radiate in concentric circles around it, there is no difference between the sound heard by someone on the platform, and the sound of the train as heard by someone standing behind the caboose.
