What is refractive index​

Physics
1 answer:
BARSIC [14]2 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.

How do the tension of the cord and the force of gravity affect a pendulum
azamat

The time period of the pendulum is affected by the acceleration due to gravity. The tension does not have any effect on the time period of the pendulum and also the mass of the bob does not effect the time period of the pendulum.

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

Hence, if the gravity increases then the time period of the pendulum will decreases and it will swing faster.

When she rides her bike, she gets to her first classroom building 36 minutes faster than when she walks. Of her average walking
postnew [5]

Answer:

d=2.4\ miles

Explanation:

Given:

  • average walking speed, v_w=3\ mph
  • average biking speed, v_b=12\ mph

<u>According to given condition:</u>

t_w=t_b+\frac{36}{60}

where:

t_w= time taken to reach the building by walking

t_b= time taken to reach the building by biking

We know that,

\rm time=\frac{distance}{speed}

so,

\frac{d}{v_w} =\frac{d}{v_b} +\frac{36}{60}

\frac{d}{3}=\frac{d}{12} +\frac{3}{5}

d=2.4\ miles

Starting at t = 0 s , a horizontal net force F⃗ =( 0.285 N/s )ti^+(-0.460 N/s2 )t2j^ is applied to a box that has an initial mom
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that Impulse = force x time

impulse = change in momentum

change in momentum = force x time

Force F = .285 t -.46t²

Since force is variable

change in momentum = ∫ F dt  where F is force

= ∫ .285ti - .46t²j dt

= .285 t² / 2i - .46 t³ / 3 j

When t = 1.9

change in momentum = .285 x 1.9² /2 i  -  .46 x 1.9³ / 3 j

= .514i - 1.05 j

final momentum

= - 3.1 i + 3.9j +.514i - 1.05j

= - 2.586 i + 2.85j

x component = - 2.586

y component = 2.85
