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

RI = 1/0.6 = 5/3 or 1.66

Last Thanksgiven my family and I went to Atlanta, my father drove the car at a speed of 80km/hr, and we spend 7.45hr to get ther

nalin [4]

Answer:

Atlanta is at 596.0 km from the house.

Explanation:

The distance between Atlanta and the house can be found using the following equation:

$v = \frac{d}{t}$ (1)

Where:

v: is the speed = 80 km/h

t: is the time = 7.45 h

By solving equation (1) for d and entering the above values we have:

$d = v*t = 80 km/h*7.45 h = 596.0 km = 596000 m$

Therefore, Atlanta is at 596.0 km from the house.

I hope it helps you!

When a slice of buttered toast is accidentally pushed over the edge of a counter, it rotates as it falls. If the distance to the

Masja [62]

Answer:

The smallest angular velocity is 4.42 rad/s and the largest angular velocity is 13.15 rad/s for the toast to hit and then topple to be butter-side down

Explanation:

62 cm = 0.62 m

Knowing that the vertical distance traveled is s = 0.62 m and gravitational acceleration is g = 9.81 m/s2, we can calculate the time of falling

$s = gt^2/2$

$0.62 = 9.81t^2/2$

$t^2 = 2*0.62/9.81 = 0.13$

$t = \sqrt{0.13} = 0.36 s$

If there's only 0.36s to rotate, and for the toast to hit and then topple to be butter-side down, then the angle of rotation must be between 90 and 270 degrees (Suppose that it starts with butter up and it rotates less than 1 revolution, or 360 degrees):

In other words (and units):

$\frac{\pi}{2} \leq \theta \leq \frac{3\pi}{2}$ rad

As $\omega = \theta / t$ :

$\frac{\pi}{2} / t \leq \theta / t \leq \frac{3\pi}{2} / t$ rad/s

$\frac{\pi}{2*0.36} \leq \omega \leq \frac{3\pi}{2*0.36}$ rad/s

$4.42 \leq \omega \leq 13.25$ rad/s

So the smallest angular velocity is 4.42 rad/s and the largest angular velocity is 13.15 rad/s for the toast to hit and then topple to be butter-side down

Suppose one twin takes a ride in a spaceship traveling at a very high speed to a distant star and back again, while the other tw

Fynjy0 [20]

If the twin in the spaceship travels at a speed close to the speed of light, seen from Earth, the time of the traveling twin passes very slowly. Therefore, upon returning to Earth, less time has passed for him, compared to the twin who remains on Earth, that is, he is younger, while the twin who remains on Earth is older.
