Answer: Yes

Explanation:

Refractive index is a number that describes the speed of light through a material.

n = sin I/ sin r

It has no dimension and it is equal to the velocity of light c of a given wavelength in an empty space divided by its velocity v in a substance.

n = c/v

3. A sprinter leaves the starting blocks with an acceleration of 4.5 m/s2. What is the
UkoKoshka [18]

Hi there! :)

\large\boxed{v_{f} = 18 m/s}

Use the following kinematic equation to solve for the final velocity:

v_{f} = v_{i} + at

In this instance, the runner started from rest, so the initial velocity is 0 m/s. We can rewrite the equation as:

v_{f} = at

Plug in the given acceleration and time:

v_{f} = 4.5 * 4 = 18 m/s

A particular balloon can be stretched to a maximum surface area of 1257 cm2. The balloon is filled with 3.1 L of helium gas at a
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The ballon will brust at

<em>Pmax = 518 Torr ≈ 0.687 Atm </em>

<em />

<em />

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem we are going to use the ideal gass law

PV = nRT

Where n (number of moles) and R are constants (in the present case)

Therefore, we can relate to thermodynamic states with their respective pressure, volume and temperature.

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2} --- (*)

Our initial state is:

P1 = 754 torr

V1 = 3.1 L

T1 = 294 K

If we consider the final state at which the ballon will explode, then:

P2 = Pmax

V2 = Vmax

T2 = 273 K

We also know that the maximum surface area is: 1257 cm^2

If we consider a spherical ballon, we can obtain the maximum radius:

R_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{A_{max}}{4 \pi}}

Rmax = 10.001 cm

Therefore, the max volume will be:

V_{max} = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_{max}^3

Vmax = 4 190.05 cm^3 = 4.19 L

Now, from (*)

P_{max} = P_1 \frac{V_1T_2}{V_2T_1}

Therefore:

Pmax= P1 * (0.687)

That is:

Pmax = 518 Torr

The relative humidity would be ________% if the actual water vapor in the air was 4 grams per cubic meter, the air's capacity to
AveGali [126]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Humidity is the amount water vapor present in the atmosphere.

Relative humidity is defined as the ratio of partial water vapor present in air to the actual water vapor at a particular temperature. It is expressed in percentage and the higher the percentage RH, the more the saturated water vapor present in the atmosphere and vice versa.

It is expressed mathematically as shown;

RH = actual water vapor in air/saturated water vapor × 100%

If the actual water vapor in the air was 4 grams per cubic meter and the air's capacity to hold water vapor was 8 grams per cubic meter

Actual water vapor = 4g/cm³

Air's water capacity (saturated water vapor) = 8g/cm³

RH = 4/8×100

RH = 50%

Explain two reasons why astronomers are continually building larger and larger telescopes. Explain two reasons why astronomers a
Sergio [31]

Answer:

* Larger mirrors collect more light and therefore fainter and more distant objects can have enough intensity to be detected

* arger mirrors decreases the angle of dispersion giving a better resolution of the bodies

Explanation:

Refracting telescopes get bigger every day for two main reasons.

* Larger mirrors collect more light and therefore fainter and more distant objects can have enough intensity to be detected

* the diffraction process for circular apertures is given by

               θ = 1.22 λ / D

where d is the diameter of the mirror, therefore having larger mirrors decreases the angle of dispersion giving a better resolution of the bodies

What makes a magnet on the atomic level?
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Magnetism at atomic /sub - atomic levels is mostly due to charged particles called electrons. Electrons have spin which give them angular momentum and thus a magnetic moment associated with it. That is the cause of Magnetism at atomic levels. Electrons fill up orbitals in atoms in pairs.
