No, just the opposite.

Think of refractive index as an enemy of light. The bad guy, the villain, the outlaw. It pushes against light and makes light slow down. BAAAD REFRACTIVE INDEX !

The bigger the refractive index is, the more it's able to slow light down.

Answer:The lower the refractive index, the faster the velocity of light. Medium A has the smaller refractive index. Light will travel faster through medium A at a velocity equal to the speed of light divided by the refractive index.

MamaMia's Pizza purchases its pizza delivery boxes from a printing supplier. MamaMia's delivers on-average 200 pizzas each month

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

a) 138 units

b) 17 units

c) 17 units

d) Total Cost = $353.35

Explanation:

Given:

Average pizzas delivered = 200

Charge of inventory holding = 30% of cost

Lead time = 7 days

Now,

a) Economic Order Quantity = $\sqrt\frac{2\times\textup{Annual Demand}\times\textup{Cost per Order}}{\textup{Carrying cost}}$

also,

Annual Demand = 200 × 12 = 2400

Cost per Order = Cost of Box + Processing Costs

= 30 cents + $10

= $10.30

and, Carrying Cost = $\frac{\textup{Total Inventory Cost}}{\textup{total annual demand}}$

= $\frac{\textup{Total Cost per order}\times\textup{Annual demand}\times\frac{25}{100}}{\textup{Annual demand}}$

= $\frac{\$10.30\times2400}\times\frac{25}{100}}{2400}$

= $2.575

Therefore,

Economic Order Quantity = $\sqrt\frac{2\times\textup{2400}\times\textup{10.30}}{\textup{2.575}}$

= 138.56 ≈ 138 units

b) Reorder Point

= (average daily unit sales × the lead time in days) + safety stock

= ( $\frac{200}{30}\times7$

= 46.67 ≈ 47 units

c) Number of orders per year = $\frac{\textup{Annual Demand}}{\textup{Economic order quantity}}$

= $\frac{\textup{2400}}{\textup{138}}$

= 17.39 ≈ 17 units

d) Total Annual Cost (Total Inventory Cost)

= Ordering Cost + Holding Cost

Now,

The ordering Cost = Cost per Order × Total Number of orders per year

= $10.30 × 17

= $175.1

and,

Holding Cost = Average Inventory Held × Carrying Cost per unit

Average Inventory Held = $\frac{\textup{0+138}}{\textup{2}}$ = 69

Carrying Cost per unit = $2.575

Holding Cost = 69 × $2.575 =

$177.675

Therefore,

Total Cost = Ordering Cost + carrying cost

= $175.1 + $177.675 = $353.35

The potential energy for a certain mass moving in one dimension is given by U(x)=(2.0J/m3)x3−(15J/m2)x2+(36J/m)x−23JU(x)=(2.0J/m

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:x=2 and x=3

Explanation:

Given

Potential Energy for a certain mass is

$U(x)=2x^3-15x^2+36x-23$

and we know force is given by

$F=-\frac{\mathrm{d} U}{\mathrm{d} x}$

$F=-(2\times 3x^2-15\times 2x+36)$

For Force to be zero F=0

$\Rightarrow 6x^2-30x+36=0$

$\Rightarrow x^2-5x+6=0$

$\Rightarrow x^2-2x-3x+6=0$

$\Rightarrow (x-2)(x-3)=0$

Therefore at x=2 and x=3 Force on particle is zero.

Consider an object rolling off of your lab bench. Discuss how you might be able to make measure- ments to determine its initial

guapka [62]

Answer:

measure the position every so often with a stopwatch

Explanation:

A possible method of measurement is to place a measuring tape along the path and measure the position every so often with a stopwatch, with this we can make a graph of position against time and by extrapolation find the initial velocity.

This is a method used in measurements of uniform movements of bodies
