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

Consider two wheels with fixed hubs. The hub cannot move, but the wheel can rotate about it. The hubs are fixed to a stationary
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Magnitude of force on wheel B is 4 N

Explanation:

Given that

I=mr^2

For wheel A

m= 1 kg

d= 1 m,r= 0.5 m

F=1 N

We know that

T= F x r

T=1 x 0.5 N.m

T= 0.5 N.m

T= I α

Where I is the moment of inertia and α is the angular acceleration

I_A=1 \times 0.5^2\ kg.m^2

I_A=0.25\ kg.m^2

T= I α

0.5= 0.25 α

\alpha = 2\ rad/s^2

For Wheel B

m= 1 kg

d= 2 m,r=1 m

I_B=1 \times 1^2\ kg.m^2

I_B=1 \ kg.m^2

Given that angular acceleration is same for both the wheel

\alpha = 2\ rad/s^2

T= I α

T= 1 x 2

T= 2 N.m

Lets force on wheel is F then

T = F x r

2 = F x 1

So F= 2 N

Magnitude of force on wheel B is 2 N
