Answer:

1.3636

Explanation:

Write the expression for the refractive index.

n=c/v

c= speed of light in air

v= speed of light in material

=(3×10^8 m/s)/(2.2×10^8 m/s)

 =1.3636

Answer:

The material is silica quartz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of light in material v=2.07\times10^{8}\ m/s

Speed of light  in vacuum c=3.00\times10^{8}\ m/s

We need to calculate the refractive index

Using formula of refractive index

n=\dfrac{c}{v}

Where, c = Speed of light  in vacuum

v=Speed of light  in material

Put the value into the formula

n=\dfrac{3.00\times10^{8}}{2.07\times10^{8}}

n=1.44

We know that,

Refractive index of silica quartz  is between 1.40 to 1.55

So, This is the refractive index of silica quartz.

Hence, The material is silica quartz.

The vector product of vectors A⃗ and B⃗ has magnitude 12.0 m2 and is in the +z-direction.Vector A⃗ has magnitude 4.0 m and is in
g100num [7]

Answer:

θ=180°

Explanation:

The problem says that the vector product of A and B is in the +z-direction, and that the vector A is in the -x-direction. Since vector B has no x-component, and is perpendicular to the z-axis (as A and B are both perpendicular to their vector product), vector B has to be in the y-axis.

Using the right hand rule for vector product, we can test the two possible cases:

  • If vector B is in the +y-axis, the product AxB should be in the -z-axis. Since it is in the +z-axis, this is not correct.

  • If vector B is in the -y-axis, the product AxB should be in the +z-axis. This is the correct option.

Now, the problem says that the angle θ is measured from the +y-direction to the +z-direction. This means that the -y-direction has an angle of 180° (half turn).

Arrange the examples in order, starting with the object that has the least amount of energy. In each case, assume there’s no fri
Artemon [7]
First example: book, m= 0.75 kg, h=1.5 m, g= 9.8 m/s², it has only potential energy Ep,

Ep=m*g*h=0.75*9.8*1.5=11.025 J

Second example: brick, m=2.5 kg, v=10 m/s, h=4 m, it has potential energy Ep and kinetic energy Ek,

E=Ep+Ek=m*g*h + (1/2)*m*v²=98 J + 125 J= 223 J

Third example: ball, m=0.25 kg, v= 10 m/s, it has only kinetic energy Ek

Ek=(1/2)*m*v²=12.5 J.

Fourth example: stone, m=0.7 kg, h=7 m, it has only potential energy Ep,

Ep=m*g*h=0.7*9.8*7=48.02 J

The order of examples starting with the lowest energy:

1. book, 2. ball, 3. stone, 4. brick

A roller coaster car is going over the top of a 18-m-radius circular rise. at the top of the hill, the passengers "feel light,"
Mashutka [201]

The solution for this problem is:

If they feel 50% of their weight that means that the centripetal force is also 50% of their weight 1g - 0.5g = 0.5g 


Then 0.5* 9.8m/s² * 18m = 88.2 would be v² 

Then get the square root, the answer would be:
and v = 9.391 m/s is the answer.
