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 train starting from rest picks up a speed of 20 m/s in 20 s while travelling on a straight path. It continues to move at the s
Andrej [43]

Answer:

1300 m

Explanation:

As the path is straight, so the speed is equivalent to velocity. Now. assuming that the acceleration and deceleration of the train are constant. So, change of velocity with respect to time for acceleration as well as deceleration is constant. Hence, the slope of the speed-time graph is constant for the time of acceleration as well as deceleration. The speed for the time from 20 s to 70 s is constant, so slope for this interval of time is zero. The speed-time graph is shown in the figure.

The total distance covered by the train during the entire journey is the area of the speed-time graph.

Area=\frac{1}{2}(20\times 20)+ 50\times 20+\frac{1}{2}(20\times 10)

=200+1000+100

=1300

As velocity is in m/s and time is in s so the unit of area is m

Hence, the total distance is  1300m.

A car of mass m, traveling at constant speed, rides over the top of a round hill. How do the normal force of the road on the car
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The normal force will be lower than the gravitational force acting on the car. Therefore the answer is N < mg, which is <em>option B</em>.

Explanation:

Over a round hill, the centripetal force acting toward the the radius of the hill supports the gravitational force (mg) of the car. This notion can be expressed mathematically as follows:

At the top of a round hill

Normal force = Gravitational force - centripetal force

At the foot of a round hill

Normal Force = centripetal force + Gravitational force

The word atom comes from a Greek word that means “able to duplicate”.
Gnoma [55]
<span>The statement, The word atom comes from a Greek word that means “able to duplicate”, is false. The greek word for atom is atomos. The a- in atom means “not” and –tom means “cut”. So it is not ot cut or it cannot be cut. It is common definition is indivisibility. This definition is defined by the philosopher Democritus. He observed that as he cut the sugar cube into smaller fraction, it reduces to nothing that cannot be seen in the eye. And so he proposed that definition.</span>

Answer:

The two neighboring planets with the greatest distance between them is <em><u>Neptune and Uranus</u></em>. This happens when they are at the opposite sides of the Sun at approximately. They are 4500 million miles away from each other.

If by adjacent you mean next to each other, in terms of the order of planets in our Solar System, then the closest would be <u><em>Earth and Venus</em></u>; which are separated by about 38,000,000 kilometres when in opposition.

I am not sure about the general patterns..

<u><em>Venus has the longest day</em></u> of any planet in our solar system. It completes one rotation every 243 Earth days.

A year on <u><em>Neptune</em></u> is the longest of any planet, lasting the equivalent of 164.8 years (or 60,182 Earth days). It is obvious because it is also the farthest with the longest orbit.

Outer planets are less dense than the inner planets because they posses a big volume but contains not much mass. Try to imagine 2 rocks, one is big, but is hollow or have a lot of holes; and the other is small, but solid with no holes.

Happy learning!!
