Right answer: 1.5({10}^{8})m/s

The Absolute Refractive index n is the quotient of the speed of light in vacuum c and the speed of light in the medium whose index is calculated v, as shown in the expression below:

n=\frac{c}{v}     (1)

This is a dimensionless value.

If we know that:

c=3({10}^{8})m/s

n_{1}=1 is the refractive index in vacuum

n_{2}=2 is the refractive index in the liquid

We can use equation (1), with the values of n_{2} and c to calculate v_{liquid}, which is the velocity of light in this medium:

n_{2}=\frac{c}{v_{liquid}}     (2)

v_{liquid}=\frac{c}{n_{2}}     (3)

v_{liquid}=\frac{3({10}^{8})m/s}{2}    (4)

Finally:

v_{liquid}=1.5({10}^{8})m/s>>>>This is the speed of light in the liquid.

Therefore the correct option is c.

A record player turntable initially rotating at 3313 rev/min is braked to a stop at a constant rotational acceleration. The turn
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

(A) It will take 22 sec to come in rest

(b) Work done for coming in rest will be 0.2131 J              

Explanation:

We have given the player turntable initially rotating at speed of 33\frac{1}{3}rpm=33.333rpm=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 33.333}{60}=3.49rad/sec

Now speed is reduced by 75 %

So final speed \frac{3.49\times 75}{100}=2.6175rad/sec

Time t = 5.5 sec

From first equation of motion we know that '

\alpha =\frac{\omega -\omega _0}{t}=\frac{2.6175-3.49}{4}=-0.158rad/sec^2

(a) Now final velocity \omega =0rad/sec

So time t to come in rest  t=\frac{0-3.49}{-0.158}=22sec

(b) The work done in coming rest is given by

\frac{1}{2}I\left ( \omega ^2-\omega _0^2 \right )=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.035\times (0^2-3.49^2)=0.2131J

Physics question, answer completely with work
Alenkasestr [34]

The force is 2.0 N east

Explanation:

The impulse exerted by a force is defined as the product between the force itself and the time interval during which the force is applied. Mathematically, it is equal to the change in momentum experienced by the object on which the force is acting:

I=F\Delta t = \Delta p

Where

I is the impulse

F is the force

Delta t is the time interval during which the force is applied

\Delta p is the change in momentum

In this problem,

\Delta t = 3.0 s is the time interval

I=6.0 N\cdot s (east) is the impulse

Therefore, the magnitude of the force is

F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{6.0}{3.0}=2.0 N

And the direction is the same as the impulse (east).
