Answer:
The speed of light is faster in water. The Refractive index of water is 1.3 and the refractive index of glass is 1.5. From the equation n = c/v, we know that the refractive index of a medium is inversely proportional to the velocity of light in that medium. Hence, light travels faster in water.
Answer:
The speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s.
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of car 1, m₁ = 15,000 kg
Mass of car 2, m₂ = 50,000 kg
Speed of car 1, u₁ = 2 m/s
Initial speed of car 2, u₂ = 0
Let V is the speed of the two cars after coupling. It is the case of inelastic collision. Applying the conservation of momentum as :
V = 0.46 m/s
So, the speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
Acceleration a ≤ 3 m/s^2
the greatest acceleration that the truck can have without losing its load is 3 m/s^2
Explanation:
For the truck to accelerate without losing its load.
Acceleration force of truck must be less than or equal to the maximum friction force between the truck bed and the load.
Fa ≤ F(friction)
But;
Fa = mass × acceleration
Fa = ma
ma ≤ F(friction)
a ≤ (F(friction))/m ......1
Given;
Fa = mass × acceleration
Fa = ma
mass m = 800 kg
F(friction) = 2400 N
Substituting the given values into equation 1;
a ≤ F(friction)/m
a ≤ 2400N/800kg
a ≤ 3 m/s^2
the greatest acceleration that the truck can have without losing its load is 3 m/s^2
A Magnet is an object that produces a Magnetic Field; it can be formed of a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. The word magnet comes from the Greek "magnítis líthos", which means "Magnesian Stone". Magnesia is an area in Greece (Now Manisa, Turkey) where deposits of magnetite have been discovered since antiquity.
Magnets come in many shapes but no matter what their shapes are, each magnet has a North Pole and a South Pole.
A Magnetic Field is said to exist in a region if a (Magnetic) Force can be exerted on a Magnet. Magnetic Field Lines (Flux Lines) are imaginary lines representing the direction and strength of the Magnetic Field. They go from the North Pole to the South Pole outside the Magnet, and go from the South Pole to the North Pole inside the Magnet. The density of the Magnetic Field Lines is higher near the Poles, and the Magnetic Force is stronger there.
Answer:
187 J
Explanation:
First Law of Thermodynamics :
ΔQ = ΔW + ΔU
ΔQ : Heat. If it added to system then positive and if it is rejected by system then negative.
ΔW : Work. If it done by the system then positive and if it is done on system then negative.
ΔU : Internal Energy. If it positive then temperature of system increased and if it is negative then temperature of system decreased.
ΔQ = 79 J
ΔW = - 108 J
ΔU = ?
substituting the value in the equation:
79 = -108 + ΔU
∴ ΔU = 187 J
