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.

How the forces makes effect on the state of motion of an object ? <br><br> Plz ans fast urgent
Ksju [112]

Answer:

1. It may change the direction of an object in motion.

2. It may cause change in velocity of an object in motion.

Explanation:

1.It may change the direction of an object in motion.

When an object is in motion,an applied force on that object may change its direction.

For example, a sailboat moving eastward, can suddenly change its direction by interaction of a storm wind blowing form the south.

2. It may cause change in velocity of an object in motion .

A force applied to an object in motion can increase or decrease its speed. When the force is applied to the object in motion in the direction of that object, its velocity may increase.

On the other hand, when the force is applied in the opposite direction to the object in motion, its velocity may reduce.
