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

Use the graph below to answer the following question: if average acceleration is calculated using the equation, “ change in velo
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

a=9\ cm/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Average Acceleration </u>

Acceleration is a physical magnitude defined as the change of velocity over time. When we have experimental data, we can compute it by calculating the slope of the line in velocity vs time graph.

Note: <em>We cannot see if the time axis is numbered in increments of 1 second, and we'll assume that. </em>

When t_2=4\ sec, the graph shows a value of v_2=36\ cm/s

When t_1=0\ sec, the object is at rest, v_1=0

We compute the average acceleration as

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_2-v_1}{t_2-t_1}

\displaystyle a=\frac{36\ cm/s-0\ cm/s}{4\ sec-0\ sec}

\displaystyle a=\frac{36\ cm/s}{4\ s}

\boxed{a=9\ cm/s^2}

What is Marie's instantaneous speed at 20 minutes in miles/min?
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

0.25miles/min

Explanation:

Instantaneous speed of a person or an object is its speed at a particular moment usually at a period of time.

The speedometer of a car reports the instantaneous speed.

 It can be mathematically expressed as;

        Instantaneous speed  = \frac{distance}{time}

At 20min the distance covered is 5miles;

    Instantaneous speed  = \frac{5 miles }{20mins}   = 0.25miles/min
