What is refractive index​

Physics
1 answer:
BARSIC [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

In optics, the refractive index of a material is a dimensionless number that describes how fast light travels through the material. It is defined as where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the phase velocity of light in the medium or for short the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to its velocity in a specified medium.

A plane drops a rubber raft to the survivors of a shipwreck. The plane is flying at a height of 1960 m and with a speed of 109 m
Korolek [52]

In this case the rubber raft has horizontal and vertical motion.

Considering vertical motion first.

We have displacement  s = ut +\frac{1}{2}at^2, u = Initial velocity, t = time taken, a = acceleration.

In vertical motion

    s = 1960 m, u = 0 m/s, a = 9.81 m/s^2

    1960 = 0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.81*t^2\\ \\ t = 20 seconds

So raft will take 20 seconds to reach ground.

Now considering horizontal motion of raft

u = 109 m/s, t = 20 s, a = 0m/s^2

So s = 109*20+\frac{1}{2} *0*20^2 = 2180 m

So shipwreck was 2180 meter far away from the plane when the raft was dropped.

Question 9
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

F=ma

given solution

v=12m/s a=v/t

s=6 sec =12m/s÷6sec

=2m/s^2 then we get acceleration now we will find the mass. first derive the the formula of mass by crisis cross then you will get this formula which is m=F/a

=36÷2

= 18

Nutka1998 [239]

Astronomers thought that a nova was a new star, appearing for the first time in the heavens, today we know that it is as a binary star system.

<h3>What is the binary star system about?</h3>

A binary star system is known to be one where one star is known to be called a white dwarf and there is a mass that is said to be transferred to it

A binary star is known to be a kind of a system that is composed of two stars that are known to be gravitationally held together to and in orbit near each other.

Note that Binary stars in the night sky are ones that are often seen as a single object and thus Astronomers thought that a nova was a new star, appearing for the first time in the heavens, today we know that it is as a binary star system.
