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

A 0.10 kg baseball travelling at 40 m s−1 hits straight back to the pitcher at 55 m s−1. The contact time is 0.01 seconds. What
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

1.5 kgms⁻¹

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as "<em>mass in motion</em>."  

The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two factors

  • mass of the moving object  
  • speed of motiom 

when there is a change in the velocity , it creates a change in momentum also

when we consider that we can mathematically show this,In terms of an equation,

Change in momentum    (ΔΡ) = m(Δv)

where (Δv) - change in velocity

<em>(Δv) = final velocity - initial velocity</em>

Change in momentum (ΔΡ) = m(Δv)

                                             = 0.1×([55-40])

                                             = 1.5 kgms⁻¹

A wheel rotates with a constant angular acceleration of  rad/s2. During a certain time interval its angular displacement is  r
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The angular velocity at the beginning of the interval is \pi\sqrt{2}\ rad/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular acceleration \alpha=\pi\ rad/s^2

Angular displacement \theta=\pi\ rad

Angular velocity \omega =2\pi\ rad/s

We need to calculate the angular velocity at the beginning

Using formula of angular velocity

\alpha =\dfrac{\omega^2-\omega_{0}^2}{2\theta}

\omega_{0}^2=\omega^2-2\alpha\theta

Where, \alpha = angular acceleration

\omega = angular velocity

Put the value into the formula

\omega_{0}^2=(2\pi)^2-2\times\pi\times\pi

\omega=\sqrt{2\pi^2}

\omega_{0}=\pi\sqrt{2}\ rad/s

Hence, The angular velocity at the beginning of the interval is \pi\sqrt{2}\ rad/s.

A train crosses a bridge that is 1300 m long in 1 minute and 5 seconds.
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's 20m/s because 1300m divided by 65 seconds is 20 so I think it's 20m/s

Which is more dense, cold freshwater or warm seawater?
svp [43]
Cold freshwater<span> is </span>denser<span> than </span>warm seawater<span>, because of the salinity and temperature variations. Cold water would have less salt since the solubility of the salt is lower as compared to warm water. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
