<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Refractive index is defined as the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in medium. It is represented as . Speed of light in vacuum is always equal to
Mathematically,
If the refractive index is more, the speed of light in that medium will be slow and vice-versa.
As, the refractive index of glass is more than the refractive index of space. Hence, the speed of light will be slower in glass.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option D.
Answer:
Explanation:
According to the free body diagram, in this case, we have:
Recall that the force of friction is given by:
Replacing and solving for the coefficient of kinetic friction:
We have an uniformly accelerated motion. Thus, the acceleration is defined as:
Finally, we calculate :
Answer:
Total momentum = 50kgm/s
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Mass, M1 = 5kg
Mass, M2 = 7kg
Velocity, V1 = 10m/s
Velocity, V2 = 0m/s (since it's at rest).
To find the total momentum;
Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;
The law of conservation of momentum states that the total linear momentum of any closed system would always remain constant with respect to time.
Total momentum = M1V1 + M2V2
Substituting into the equation, we have;
Total momentum = 5*10 + 7*0
Total momentum = 50 + 0
<em>Total momentum = 50 kgm/s</em>
<em>Therefore, the total momentum of the bowling ball and the putty after they collide is 50 kgm/s. </em>
Answer:
10 kg
Explanation:
Assuming a frictionless surface, then force F=ma where F is the applied force, m is the mass and a is acceleration. Making m the subject of the formula then
Substituting 100 N for the applied force F and 10 m/s^2 for acceleration a then the value of m will be
Therefore, in terms of kilograms, the bookshelf weighs 10 Kg
