The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum. Find the refractive index of the medium.

Refractive index is defined as

\mu = \frac{speed of light in air}{speed of light in medium}

\mu = \frac{c}{v}

given that

v = 0.6 c

so we will have

\mu = \frac{c}{0.6c}

\mu = 1.67

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The refractive index is 1.66

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum .

Refractive index of medium = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium  

So

RI = 1/0.6 = 5/3 or 1.66

Using the graph predict how many paper clipsa 7.5 v battery would pick up for both the 25 coil electromagnet and the 50 coil ele
enyata [817]

The graph between the strength of the magnet(number of paper clips picked) and battery is approximately a straight line.

For 25 coil, with increase of 1.5 V battery voltage, the electromagnet picks about 5 more clips. So, for a 7.5 V battery, it would pick about 30 paper clips.

For 50 coil, with increase of 1.5 V battery voltage, the electromagnet picks about 15 more clips. So, for a 7.5 V battery, it would pick about 30 paper clips.

What does it mean if the moon is waxing and waning
konstantin123 [22]
Both verbs come from Olde English. 
That's why everybody clearly understood their meaning until
a hundred years ago, but nobody understands them now.


"Waxing"  =  growing

For two weeks after the New Moon, it's growing toward Full.
First it's a waxing crescent for a week, then it's waxing gibbous.


"Waning"  =  shrinking

For two weeks after the Full Moon, it's shrinking toward New.
First it's waning gibbous for a week, then it's a waning crescent.

A spherical drop of water carrying a charge of 38 pC has a potential of 710 V at its surface (with V = 0 at infinity). (a) What
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: a) r= 4.82 * 10^-4 m ; b) 1420 V

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to take into account that potential for a sphere respec to V=0 at the infinity, which is given by:

V=k*Q/r where r is the radius of the drop

then we have

r=k*Q/V=9*10^9*38pC/710V= 4.82 * 10^-4 m

Finally if we join two drop to form one with the same radius but with twice charge the resultant potential is:

V= k*2*Q/(r)= 710*2= 1420 V

A good soccer player can kick the ball up to 25 m/sec. A soccer ball has a mass of 800 grams (0.8 kg). What force must a goalie
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

200 N

Explanation:

Applying,

The force a golie must exert on the ball is,

F = ma...................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the ball, a = acceleration of the ball.

But,

a = Δv/t............... Equation 2

Where Δv = change in velocity, t = time.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(Δv/t)............... Equation 3

From the question,

Given: m = 0.8 g, t = 0.1 s, Δv = 25 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 3

F = 0.8×25/0.1

F = 200 N
