Answer:

Refractive index, n = 2.419

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of light in the medium, v=1.239\times 10^8\ m/s

Speed of light in the vacuum, c=2.998\times 10^8\ m/s

Let n is the index of refraction for a medium. We know that the refractive index for any medium is equal to the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in medium. It can be written as :

n=\dfrac{c}{v}

n=\dfrac{2.998\times 10^8\ m/s}{1.239\times 10^8\ m/s}

n = 2.419

So, the index of refraction for a medium is 2.419. Hence, this is the required solution.

What term refers to the product of an object’s mass and velocity
labwork [276]

Answer:Momentum

Explanation:

Product of an object mass and velocity is called Momentum. Basically momentum is the measure of mass in motion . More is the mass more will be the momentum and similar applies for velocity.

For example a bus moving with low velocity can have a same momentum as that of a bullet moving with a very high velocity

Momentum is denoted by Symbol P

\vec{P}=m\vec{v}

You measure the pressure of the four tires of your car each to be 35.0 pounds per square inch (psi). You then roll your car forw
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Weight of car = 36034.88 lb.ft/s²

Explanation:

We are told the pressure of the four tires of your car is; P = 35.0 psi

Also, the surface area of contact is; A = 32 in²

Thus;

Weight of tires = Pressure × Area

W_tires = 35 × 32

Weight_tires = 1120lb.

To get the weight of the car, we will multiply the tire weight by acceleration due to gravity.

It's value in ft/s² is g = 32.174 ft/s²

Thus;

Weight of car = 1120 × 32.174

Weight of car = 36034.88 lb.ft/s²

How fast does water flow from a hole at the bottom of a very wide, 7.1 mm deep storage tank filled with water
trapecia [35]

Answer:

<h2>The water will move faster</h2>

Explanation:

This happens as part of the consequences of the continuity of an incompressible fluid, of which water is an example.

so as the water emerges from the wider section the flow velocity increases and vice versa.

Hence the flow velocity in indirectly proportional to the area

The continuity equation is given below for our analysis

A1V1=A2V2\\-------------------1

where

            A1= the area of the wider section of the tank

            V1= the flow velocity from the wider section

            A2= the area of the hole at the bottom

            V2= velocity of flow at the bottom.

Calculate the number of coulombs per second if the area is 4cm, recombination rate of hole is 1000 cm/s and the differential len
musickatia [10]

Answer:

number of coulombs =  1.28 × 10^{-22}

option b is correct

Explanation:

Given data

area A = 4cm

rate of hole r = 1000 cm/s

length L = 2mm

to find out

number of coulombs

solution

we will apply here  number of coulombs formula that is

number of coulombs =  e×A×L× r

put here value e = 1.6 × 10^{-19}  coulombs

and A = 4 × 10^{-4} mand length = 2 × 10^{-3} m

number of coulombs =  1.6 × 10^{-19} × 4 × 10^{-4}  × 2 × 10^{-3} × 1000

number of coulombs =  1.28 × 10^{-22}

so option b is correct
