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.

A 47-kg packing crate is pulled with constant speed across a rough floor with a rope that is at an angle of 37 degrees above the
levacccp [35]

Tension in the rope due to applied force will be given as

F = 142 N

angle of applied force with horizontal is 37 degree

displacement along the floor = 6.1 m

so here we can use the formula of work done

W = F d cos\theta

now we can plug in all values above

W = 142 * 6.1 * cos37

W = 691.8 J

So here work done to pull is given by 691.8 J

How does this relate to Newton's second law?
taurus [48]

Answer:

In ideal case, when no resistive forces are present then both the balls will reach the ground simultaneously. This is because acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass of the falling object. i.e. g = GM/R² where G = 6.67×10²³ Nm²/kg², M = mass of earth and R is radius of earth.

Let us assume that both are metallic balls. In such case, we have to take into account the magnetic field of earth (which will give rise to eddy currents, and these eddy currents will be more, if surface area will be more) and viscous drag of air ( viscous drag is proportional to radius of falling ball), then bigger ball will take slightly more time than the smaller ball.
