If the speed of light in a substance is 2.26 x 10^8 m/s, what is the index of refraction of that substance?

Physics

Answer:

1.33

Explanation:

speed of light in vacuum, c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

speed of light in medium, v = 2.26 x 10^8 m/s

The refractive index of the medium is given by

μ = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

μ = (3 x 10^8) / (2.26 x 10^8)

μ = 1.33

Why would knowing the characteristics of circuits be important in designing electrical circuits?
zubka84 [21]
Well if you didn't you could make mistakes, which would lead ,in the best case, at a fail of the circuit , or if it goes out of control it could be dangerous

for example you have to know that the wires become hot and they loose their abbilitys as connecters(the hotter it will, the more energy you lose becouse the R will be bigger)

A boy moves down a waterslide from a height of 10 meters. what is his velocity when he hits the water at the bottom of the slide
statuscvo [17]

The velocity of the boy when he hits the water at the bottom of the slide is 14 m/s.

<h3>Velocity of the boy at the bottom of the slide</h3>

The velocity of the boy when he hits the water at the bottom of the slide is calculated from the principle of conservation of energy.

K.E = P.E

¹/₂mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

where;

  • h is height of the boy
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 10)

v = 14 m/s.

Thus, the velocity of the boy when he hits the water at the bottom of the slide is 14 m/s.

A cardinal (Richmondena cardinalis) of mass 4.20×10−2 kg and a baseball of mass 0.146 kg have the same kinetic energy. What is t
bekas [8.4K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of cardinal,m_c=4.2\times 10^{-2}\ kg

Mass of baseball, m_b=0.146\ kg

Both cardinal and baseball have same kinetic energy. We need to find the ratio of the cardinal's magnitude p_c of momentum to the magnitude p_c of the baseball's momentum.

E_c=E_b

Kinetic energy is given by, E=\dfrac{p^2}{2m}

\dfrac{p_c^2}{2m_c}=\dfrac{p_b^2}{2m_b}

(\dfrac{p_c}{p_b})^2=\dfrac{m_c}{m_b}

\dfrac{p_c}{p_b}=\sqrt{\dfrac{m_c}{m_b}}

\dfrac{p_c}{p_b}=\sqrt{\dfrac{4.2\times 10^{-2}}{0.146}}

So, \dfrac{p_c}{p_b}=\dfrac{53}{100}

So, the ratio of cardinal's magnitude of momentum to the magnitude of the baseball's momentum is 53 : 100
