I halved the speed of light in vacuum to get the speed of light in the material, since the speed of light in vacuum is twice the speed of light in material.

The index of refraction is essentially the speed of light through a vacuum divided by the speed of light through given medium.

I attached some notes on refraction too, hopefully this helps :D

A roller coaster cart of mass m = 223 kg starts stationary at point A, where h1 = 26.8 m and a while later is at B, were h2 = 14
Tresset [83]

Answer:

vB = 15.4 m/s

Explanation:

Principle of conservation of energy:

Because there is no friction the mechanical energy is conserve

ΔE = 0

ΔE : mechanical energy change (J)

K : Kinetic energy (J)

U: Potential energy (J)

K = (1/2)mv²

U = m*g*h

Where :

m: mass (kg)

v : speed (m/s)

h : hight (m)

Ef - Ei = 0

(K+U)final - (K+U)initial =0

(K+U)final = (K+U)initial

((1/2)mv²+m*g*h)final = ((1/2)mv²+m*g*h)initial , We divided by m both sides of the equation:

((1/2)vB² + g*hB = (1/2 )vA²+ g*hA

(1/2) (vB)² + (9.8)*(14.7) =  0 + (9.8)(26.8 )

(1/2) (vB)² = (9.8)(26.8 ) - (9.8)*(14.7)

(vB)² = (2)(9.8)(26.8 - 14.7)

(vB)² = 237.16

v_{B} = \sqrt{237.16}

vB = 15.4 m/s : speed of the cart at B

10. Which of the following is an acceleration?<br> a. 12 m/s2 down<br> b. 5 m/s up<br> c. 8N West
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

a. 12 m/s² down

Explanation:

Acceleration has units of length per time squared.  Acceleration is a vector, so it also has a direction.

By what factor would your weight be multiplied if the earth were1/2 as massavise and the diameter was unchanged
Nutka1998 [239]
<span>Let F be the force of gravity, G be the gravitational constant, M be the mass of the earth, m your mass and r the radius of the earth, then: 

F = G(Mm / (4(pi)*r^2)) 

The above expression gives the force that you feel on the earth's surface, as it is today! 

Let us now double the mass of the earth and decrease its diameter to half its original size. 

This is the same as replacing M with 2M and r with r/2. 

Now the gravitational force (F' ) on the new earth's surface is given by: 

F' = G(2Mm / (4(pi)(r/2)^2)) = 2G(Mm / ((1/4)*4(pi)*r^2)) = 8G(Mm / (4(pi)*r^2)) = 8F 

So: 

F' = 8F 

This implies that the force that you would feel pulling you down (your weight) would increase by 800%! 

You would be 8 times heavier on this "new" earth!</span>
