The speed of light in benzene is 2.00×108 m/s. what is the index of refraction of benzene?

Physics

The index of refraction of a material is the ratio between the speed of light in vacuum, c, and the speed of light in that material, v:
n= \frac{c}{v}
where the speed of light in vacuum is c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s. The speed of light in benzene is v=2.00 \cdot 10^8 m/s, so we can use the previous relationship to find the refractive index of benzene:
n= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{2.00 \cdot 10^8 m/s}=1.5

Andreyy89

Answer:

1000 N

Explanation:

An impulse results in a change of momentum

FΔt = mΔv

F = 0.001 kg(1000 - 0) m/s / 0.001 s = 1000 N

A projectile is fired vertically from Earth's surface with
scoray [572]

Answer:

h=25.52\times10^6 m

Explanation:

Initial speed, v = 10 x 10^3 m/s

Mass of the earth, M = 6 x 10^24 kg

Radius of the earth, R = 6.4 x 10^6 m

Maximum from the surface of earth, h = ?

Let  m = Mass of the projectile

Solution:

Potential energy at maximum height =  ( Potential + Kinetic energy ) at the surface

-G M m / ( R + h )=- G M m / R + (1/2) m v^2

- G M / ( R + h ) = - G M / R + (1/2) v^2

-2\times G M / ( R + h ) = ( - 2 G M / R ) + v^2

-2\times6.67\times10^{-11}\times6\times10^{24}/ ( R + h )

=( (- 2\times 6.67\times10^{-11}\times6\times10^{24}) /(6.4\times10^6)} +10000^2

=-2.50625\times10^7 J

=- 8\times10^{14} / ( R + h )=-2.50625\times 10^7

R+h=31.92\times10^{6}

h=31.92\times10^{6}-6.4\times10^6

h=25.52\times10^6 m
