Answer:
1.11
Explanation:
The index of the medium can be calculated using below formula
V= c/ n ............eqn(1)
Where V= velocity of the light is reduced to while traveling through the second medium= 2.7 x 10^8 m/s
n= index of the medium
c= speed of light= 3 x 10^8 m/s
Substitute for the values in eqn(1)
2.7 x 10^8 = (3 x 10^8 m/s)/ n
Making " n" subject of the formula, we have
n= (3 x 10^8 )/(2.7 x 10^8)
n= 1.11
Hence, the index of the medium is 1.11
<em>Quantities that determine the kinetic energy of a body are its </em><em>mass and velocity </em>
Answer: <em>mass and velocity </em>
Explanation:
The kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion. It is given by the equation
Where m represents mass of the body and v represents its velocity.
Two bodies of equal velocity but different mass the heavier body will have greater kinetic energy. When an object is at rest its velocity is equal to zero. Thus its kinetic energy will be zero. Hence it can be concluded that only moving bodies have kinetic energy.
Stationary objects placed at a height possess potential energy which is the energy by virtue of their position or configuration. The total mechanical energy of a system is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.
Answer:
Option A is correct
Explanation:
-The ten amendment was proposed for the sole purpose of protecting the minority from the brute greed of the majority.
- people established democratic government to protect the right, interest and welfare of the common people.
- The electoral college was designed for the sole purpose of protecting the minority interest and prevent special interest which is not in the public interest during electoral processes.
Answer:
According to Einstein's famous equation, matter can convert into energy (and viceversa) as follows:
where
E is the energy
m is the mass
c is the speed of light (
)
Given the huge value of 
, we see that even a tiny amount of matter is able to release a huge amount of energy, when the whole mass is converted into energy. This is precisely what happens in nuclear reactions. For example, in the process of nuclear fusion (that occurs in the core of the stars), two light nuclei fuse together into a heavier nucleus. The mass of the final nucleus is lower than the total mass of the initial nuclei, so part of the mass has been converted into energy according to the equation above: this is why the amount of energy produced by stars is so big.
