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.

A car moving at 95 km/h passes a 1.00-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track that isparallel to the road. If t

Answer:

Time to pass the train=0.05 h

How far the car traveled in this time=4.75 Km

Explanation:

We have that the train and the car are moving in the same direction, the difference between the speed of the vehicles is:

$\Delta V=V_{car}-V_{train}=95km/h-75km/h=20km/h$

We will use this difference in the speed of the car an train to calculate how much time take the car to pass the train. For this we have that the train is 1km long and the car is moving with a speed of 20km/h (we use this value because is the speed that the car have in advantage of the train) then for a movement with a constant speed we have:

$V=\dfrac{x}{t}$

Where x is the distance, t is the time and v is the speed. using the data that we have:

$V=\dfrac{x}{t}=\dfrac{1km}{20km/h}=0.05h$

This is the time that the car take to pass the train. Now to calculate how far the car have traveled in this time we have to considered the speed of 95Km/h of the car, then:

$V=\dfrac{x}{t}\\x=v\cdot t\\x=95km/h\cdot 0.05h\\x=4.75km$

In 1995 a research group led by Eric Cornell and Carl Wiemann at the University of Colorado successfully cooled Rubidium atoms t

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

0.00493 m/s

Explanation:

T = Temperature of the isotope = 85 nK

R = Gas constant = 8.341 J/mol K

M = Molar mass of isotope = 86.91 g/mol

Root Mean Square speed is given by

$v_r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3RT}{M}}\\\Rightarrow v_r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times 8.314\times 85\times 10^{-9}}{86.91\times 10^{-3}}}\\\Rightarrow v_r=0.00493\ m/s$

The Root Mean Square speed is 0.00493 m/s

is it possibly to make special swords made out of light that can cute through anything like in the movie star wars?

g100num [7]

No because light travels in waves and can not stop 3 feet away an having power supplied like that
