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.

Two long wires hang vertically. Wire 1 carries an upward current of 1.50 A . Wire 2,20.0cm to the right of wire 1, carries a dow
Inessa [10]

The magnitude of the current in wire 3  is 2.4 A and in a direction pointing in the downward direction.

  • The force per unit length between two parallel thin current-carrying I_1 and I_2  wires at distance ' r ' is given by  f=\frac{u_0I_1I_2}{2\pi r}   ....(1) .
  • If the current is flowing in both wires in the same direction, and  the force between them will be the attractive force and if the current is flowing in opposite direction in wires then the force between them will be the repulsive force.

A schematic of the information provided in the question can be seen in the image attached below.

From the image, force on wire 2 due to wire 1 = force on wire 2 due to wire 3

F_2_1=F_2_3

Using equation (1) , we get

\frac{u_0I_2I_1}{0.2} =\frac{u_0I_2I_3}{0.32} \\\\\frac{I_1}{0.2} =\frac{I_3}{0.32} \\\\\frac{1.50}{0.2} =\frac{I_3}{0.32} \\\\0.48=0.2I_3\\\\I_3=2.4A

I₃ = 2.4 A and the current is pointing in the downward direction

A 91-kg astronaut and a 1300-kg satellite are at rest relative to the space shuttle. The astronaut pushes on the satellite, givi
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

18.2145 meters

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum, we have that:

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1'v1' + m2'v2'

m1 = m1' is the mass of the astronaut, m2=m2' is the mass of the satellite, v1 and v2 are the inicial speed of the astronaut and the satellite (v1 = v2 = 0), and v1' and v2' are the final speed of the astronaut and the satellite. Then we have that:

0 + 0 = 91*v1' + 1300*0.17

v1' = -1300*0.17/91 = -2.4286\ m/s

The negative sign of this speed just indicates the direction the astronaut goes, which is the opposite direction of the satellite.

If the astronaut takes 7.5 seconds to come into contact with the shuttle, their initial distance is:

distance = 2.4286 * 7.5 = 18.2145\ meters

All ball is thrown up with a vertical velocity of 54 m/s and a horizontal velocity of 39 m/s. Calculate how many seconds it will
VikaD [51]

5.5 s

Explanation:

The time it takes for the ball to reach its maximum height can be calculated using

v_y = v_{0y} - gt \Rightarrow t = \dfrac{v_{0y}}{g}

since v_y = 0 at the top of its trajectory. Plugging in the numbers,

t = \dfrac{(54\:\text{m/s})}{(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)} = 5.5\:\text{s}
