Complete Question

The  complete question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

A

   v_w  =  2.256 *10^{8} \  m/s

B

  v_e  =  2.21 *10^{8} \  m/s

C

The  correct option is  B  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The refractive  index of water is  n_w  =  1.33

      The  refractive  index of ethanol is  n_e  =  1.36

       

Generally the threshold velocity for creating Cherenkov light   from a charged particle as it travels through water is mathematically evaluated as

       v_w  =  \frac{c}{n_w }

Where  c is the speed of light with value  c =  3.0 *10^{8} \  m/s

       v_w  =  \frac{3.0 *10^{8}}{1.33 }

       v_w  =  2.256 *10^{8} \  m/s

Generally the threshold velocity for creating Cherenkov light   from a charged particle as it travels through water is mathematically evaluated as

            v_e  =  \frac{ c}{n_e }

  =>       v_e  =  \frac{3.0 *10^{8}}{1.36 }

=>          v_e  =  2.21 *10^{8} \  m/s

A rowboat passenger uses an oar to push the boat off the dock by exerting a force of 40N for 3.0s. What impulse acts on the boat
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

120 Ns

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on an object is given by:

I=Ft

where

F is the force applied

t is the time taken

In this problem, we have:

F = 40 N

t = 3.0 s

So, the impulse acting on the boat is

I=Ft=(40 N)(3.0 s)=120 Ns

If a snail moves 6.5in/min, how many miles per hour does the snail travel?​
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Unit Conversion

  1. 6.5in/min× 1ft/12in× 1 mile/5280ft= 0.001231 m/min
  2. 0.001231 m/min× 60 min/1hr= 0.0738 miles/hr

Describe the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas when temperature and mass are constant
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The product of Pressure and Volume is a constant.

Explanation:

We know the Ideal gas equation,

PV  =  nRT,

where,

P -  Pressure of the gas

V -  Volume of the gas

n -  No. of moles of the gas taken

R -  Universal Gas Constant.

T - Temperature of the gas.

We know that ,  n  =  \frac{wt}{Mwt}

where, wt - Mass of gass ; Mwt - Molecular weight of the gas.

We are given the weight of the gas remains constant (wt is a constant)

Therefore as n = \frac{wt}{Mwt},(where both wt and Mwt are constants)

n is a constant in this process.

Universal gas constant is a constant

Given temperature is a constant.

Therefore,

As, PV = nRT,  (where n,R,T are constants),

PV is a constant.

Therefore we can say,

PV = k,  for some constant k.

If we plot a graph for P vs V , we get a Rectangular Hyperbola( One of the general forms of a Rectangular Hyperbola is xy = c)
