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

Where does the heat come from that drives this convection current in the mantle
marta [7]

Answer:

Earth's interior (Core)

Explanation:

The earth is comprised of 3 distinct layers namely the Core, the Mantle and the Crust, which are divided based on their composition as well as density.

The core of the earth is extremely very hot where the inner core remains solid and outer core acts a liquid. It is mainly comprised of iron, nickel and other siderophile elements.

A large amount of heat (energy) is radiated from this core region towards the surface of the earth. Due to this, the mantle rocks forms magma that creates the convection currents, where the hot and less dense magma rises upward and the cool and denser magma sinks to the bottom. This occurs continuously, as a result of which the lithospheric plates are forced to move over the less dense layer of asthenosphere.

Thus, the heat energy that drives the convection current in the mantle is provided from the interior (core) of the earth.

If an object has a kinetic energy of 30 j and mass of 34kg how fast is the object moving ?
cricket20 [7]

Ek = (m*V^2) / 2 where m is mass and V is speed, then we can take this equation and manipulate it a little to isolate the speed.

Ek = mv^2 / 2 — multiply both sides by 2

2Ek = mv^2 — divide both sides by m

2Ek / m = V^2 — switch sides

V^2 = 2Ek / m — plug in values

V^2 = 2*30J / 34kg

V^2 = 60J/34kg

V^2 = 1.76 m/s — sqrt of both sides

V = sqrt(1.76)

V = 1.32m/s (roughly)

A flat surface is in a uniform magnetic field. Given only the area of the surface and the magnetic flux through the surface, it
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Given the area A of a flat surface and the magnetic flux through the surface \Phi it is possible to calculate the magnitude \frac{\Phi}{A}=B\ cos \theta.

Explanation:

The magnetic flux gives an idea of how many magnetic field lines are passing through a surface. The SI unit of the magnetic flux \Phi is the weber (Wb), of the magnetic field B is the tesla (T) and of the area A is (m^{2}). So 1 Wb=1 T.m².

For a flat surface S of area A in a uniform magnetic field B, with \theta being the angle between the vector normal to the surface S and the direction of the magnetic field B, we define the magnetic flux through the surface as:

                                                     \Phi=B\ A\ cos\theta

We are told the values of \Phi and B, then we can calculate the magnitude

                                                      \frac{\Phi}{A}=B\ cos\theta
