<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 \eta. Speed of light in vacuum is always equal to 3\times 10^8m/s

Mathematically,

\eta=\frac{\text{Speed of light in vacuum}}{\text{Speed of light in medium}}

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.

.A 0.2-kg aluminum plate, initially at 20°C, slides down a 15-m-long surface, inclined at a 30 angle to the horizontal. The forc
Ainat [17]

To solve this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Work according to the Force and distance, as well as the concepts related to energy lost-or gained-by heat. Mathematically the energy corresponding to heat is given as:

Q = mC_p(\Delta T)

Where,

m = mass

C_p= Specific heat

\Delta T = Change in Temperature

At the same time the Work made by the Force and the distance is given as:

W = F*d \rightarrow W=mg*d

As the force is applied at an angle of 30 degrees, the efficient component would be given by the vertical then the work / energy would be determined as:

W = mg*dsin(30)

W = (15m)(0.2kg)(9.81)(sin30)

W = 13.24J

Now this energy is used to heat the aluminum. We can find the change at the temperature as follow:

Q = mC_p(\Delta T)

13.24 = (0.2)(900)(\Delta T)

\Delta T = 0.0736 \°C

Therefore the correct answer is B.

4. Calculate the kinetic energy of a 4.7 kg object moving at a speed of 7 m/s. SHOW YOUR WORK
SashulF [63]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 115.15 \ J}}

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to motion. It is calculated with the following formula.

E_K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2

The mass of the object is 4.7 kilograms. The velocity of the object is 7 meters per second.

  • m= 4.7 kg
  • v= 7 m/s

Substitute the values into the formula.

E_K= \frac{1}{2} (4.7 \ kg)(7 \ m/s)^2

Solve the exponent.

  • (7 m/s)²= 7 m/s * 7 m/s = 49 m²/s²

E_K= \frac{1}{2} (4.7 \ kg)(49 \ m^2/s^2)

Multiply the numbers together.

E_K = 2.35 \ kg * 49 \ m^2/s^2

E_K= 115.15 \ kg*m^2/s^2

Convert the units. 1 kilogram square meter per square second is equal to 1 Joule.

E_K= 115.15 \ J

The object has <u>115.15 Joules</u> of kinetic energy.

The old-fashioned record player had two speeds: one for long-playing albums (LP) and one for singles. The turntable speed for LP
eimsori [14]

Answer:

\alpha = 0.305 rad/s^2

Explanation:

initial frequency of revolution is given as

f_1 = 100/3 rpm

now initial angular speed is

\omega_i = 2\pi f

\omega_i = 2\pi(\frac{100}{3\times 60})

\omega_i = 3.49 rad/s

Similarly final angular speed is given as

\omega_f = 2\pi f_2

\omega_f = 2\pi(\frac{45}{60})

\omega_f = 4.71 rad/s

Now angular acceleration is given as

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}

\alpha = \frac{4.71 - 3.49}{4}

\alpha = 0.305 rad/s^2

1. In what year did India (our second most populous country) begin to produce more energy than Spain?
choli [55]

Answers:

<h2>1) Sometime in 2014 </h2>

As we can see in the graph in 2014 there is an intersection between the lines that represent the wind energy production of Spain and India, then the production of India is increased, while that of Spain remains constant.

<h2>2) Germany </h2>

As we can see in the graph in 2000 Germany was the number 1 producer of gigawatts of wind energy. In addition it is observed a rapid growth and increase in production compared to the other countries.

<h2>3) In 2006, America was producing over 10 GW and began a steep climb in wind energy production.</h2>

In 1997, America began with a constant and very small energy production, which was growing gradually until 2006, when its rapid growth in production began to exceed the other countries shown in the graph.

<h2>4) Years</h2>

When a function is plotted, generally the independent variable, whose value is previously set, is represented on the X axis.

In this sense, the variable found on the X axis of this graph is Years.

<h2>5) Wind Energy Capacity </h2>

When a function is plotted, generally the dependent variable (which is generated from the independent variable) is represented on the Y axis.

In this sense, the variable found on the Y axis of this graph is Wind Energy Capacity.

<h2>6) Gigawatts (GW) </h2>

We already know the dependent variable in this <u>Wind Energy Capacity vs Years</u> graph is Wind Energy Capacity, and its Unit is Gigawatts (GW).

Where 1GW=10^{6} W

<h2>7) Both onshore and offshore wind sources </h2>

When we talk about scientific experimentation and representing data, the Control Variable is the one that remains constant (it does not change during the investigation).  

According to the explanation above, the option that fits with this characteristic is: Both onshore and offshore wind sources

<h2>8) 55 GW </h2>

If we want to make a linear interpolation to estimate how much wind energy capacity was there in the United States in the middle of 2011, firstly we need to <u>find two points where the value we want to find is in the middle.</u>

These points (X,Y) are:

P1: (2011,48) and P2: (2012,60)

Where X1:2011, Y1:48, X2:2012, Y2:60

Now we find the <u>slope</u> m of the line with the following equation:

m=\frac{Y2 - Y1}{X2 - X1}

m=\frac{60 - 48}{2012 - 2011}=12

Then, with this value of the slope we can write the <u>equation of the line</u> and find the <u>intersection point</u> b with one of the given points (we will use P1):

Y=mX+b

48=12(2011)+b

b=-24084

With this value and the slope, we can find Y for X=2011.5 (we need to know the wind capacity in the middle of 2011):

Y=(12)(2011.5)-24084

Y=54 This is the e<u>stimated result</u> 54 GW, and the option that is near this value is 55 GW

<h2>9) 36 GW </h2>

In this case we will apply a similar method as the previous answer, but estimating a prediction:

Let's find two points near the value we want to find. These points (X,Y) are:

P1: (2014,22) and P2: (2016,29)

Where X1:2014, Y1:22, X2:2016, Y2:29

Now we find the <u>slope</u> m of the line with the following equation:

m=\frac{Y2 - Y1}{X2 - X1}

m=\frac{29 - 22}{2016 - 2014}=\frac{7}{2}

Then, with this value of the slope we can write the <u>equation of the line</u> and find the <u>intersection point</u> b with one of the given points (we will use P2):

Y=mX+b

29=\frac{7}{2}(2016)+b

b=-7027

With this value and the slope, we can find Y for X=2020 (we need to estimate the expected wind capacity in 2020):

Y=\frac{7}{2}(2020)-7027

Y=43 This is the e<u>stimated result</u> 43 GW (note linear extrapolation is not as accurate as other methods), and the option that is near this value is 36 GW

<h2>10) Additional 7 GW/Year</h2>

In this case we will use the equation of the slope:

m=\frac{Y2 - Y1}{X2 - X1}

With the following points:

P1: (2009,35) and P2: (2016,82)

m=\frac{82 - 35}{2016 - 2009}

m=6.7 \approx 7

Therefore, the correct option is Additional 35 GW/Year
