Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Speed = (60 km) / (3.5 hr)

Speed = (60 / 3.5) (km/hr)

<em>Speed = 17.14 km/hr</em>

You would divide 60/3.5 which equals about 17km per hour. (i rounded)

A solid object has a mass of 104 kg and a volume of 1,278 m3. What is its density?

MrMuchimi

The density is 81.4 g/m3. Before you start plugging numbers into the density formula (D=M/V), you should convert 104 kg to grams, which ends up being 104,000 grams. Then you can plug in the 104,000 grams and 1,278 m3 into the formula. When you divide the mass by the volume, you get a really long decimal, which you can round to 81.4 g/m3, or whatever place your teacher wants you to round to.

A ray of light crosses a boundary between two transparent materials. The medium the ray enters has a larger optical density. Whi

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater optical density.

The frequency of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials.

Explanation:

- When a ray of light crosses a boundary between two different materials, it undergoes refraction: the ray changes direction, and it also changes speed, according to the relationship:

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

where v is the speed of the ray of light in the material, c is the speed of light in a vacuum, n is the index of refraction of the material, which is larger for a medium with larger optical density. So, from the equation, we see that the larger the optical density, the smaller the speed of the wave.

- The frequency of the light does not depend on the properties of the medium, so it remains unchanged: therefore the statement

The frequency of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials.

is correct.

- Moreover, the wavelength of the ray of light is related to the speed and the frequency by the equation

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where v is the speed and f the frequency. Since we have seen that v decreases and f remains constant, this means that the wavelength decreases as well, so the statement

The wavelength of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater optical density.

is also correct.

Fill in a T/F answer for each statement below. If false, correct the statement to make it true.:

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's answer these statements

.1) True. This is the law of reflection.

.2) False. The speed of light depends on the index of refraction n = c / v

v = c / n

.3) True. The frequency creates a forced oscillation, whereby the atoms re-emit at the same incident frequency

.4) False. The index of refraction is a measure of the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum and the material environment, the ability to change the trajectory is given by the law of refraction

.5) True. True due to the change in beam trajectory due to the law of refraction

.6 False. The phenomenon occurs when you pass from a medium with a higher index to one with a lower ratio, because the refracted beam separates from the normal

.7) True.

.8) False so that the lightning approach is valid Lam >> d,

.9) True.
