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.

THere ya go ! :)

What minimum speed must the rocket have just before impact in order to save the explorer's life?

34kurt

<span>Answer: Assuming that I understand the geometry correctly, the combine package-rocket will move off the cliff with only a horizontal velocity component. The package will then fall under gravity traversing the height of the cliff (h) in a time T given by h = 0.5*g*T^2 However, the speed of the package-rocket system must be sufficient to cross the river in that time v2 = L/T Conservation of momentum says that m1*v1 = (m1 + m2)*v2 where m1 is the mass of the rocket, v1 is the speed of the rocket, m2 is the mass of the package, and v2 is the speed of the package-rocket system. Expressing v2 in terms of v1 v2 = m1*v1/(m1 + m2) and then expressing the time in terms of v1 T = (m1 + m2)*L/(m1*v1) substituting T in the first expression h = 0.5*g*(m1 + m2)^2*L^2/(m1*v1)^2 solving for v1, the speed before impact is given by v1 = sqrt(0.5*g/h)*(m1 + m2)*L/m1</span>

Simple but not plagiarized answer for "what is forces and motion?"

egoroff_w [7]

FORCE-physical power or strength possessed by a living being:
He used all his force in opening the window.

MOTION-the action or process of moving or of changing place or position; movement.

Three bullets are fired simultaneously by three guns aimed toward the center of a circle where they mash into a stationary lump.

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

2,87 * $10^{-3}$

Explanation:

When the bullets meet at the center and collide, since momentum is a vectoral quantity, their momentum vectors even up and are sumof zero. Formula of momentum is P = m.v , where m is mass and v is velocity. Let’s name the first two bullets as x,y and the one which mass is unknown as z. Then calculate momentum of x and y:

Px= 5,30 * $10^{-3}$ * 301 = 1,5953 kg*m/s

Py= 5,30 * $10^{-3}$ * 301 = 1,5953 kg*m/s

The angle between x and y bullets is 120°, and we know that if the angle between two equal magnitude vectors is 120°, the magnitude of the resultant vector will be equal to first two and placed in exact middle of two vectors. So we can say total momentum of x and y (Px+Py) equals to 1,5953 kg*m/s as well (Shown in the figure).

For z bullet to equalize the total momentum of x and y bullets, it needs to have the same amount of momentum in the opposite way.

Pz = 1,5953 = m * 554

m = 2,87 * $10^{-3}$ kg

Ben rushin is waiting at a stoplight. when it finally turns green, ben accelerated from rest at a rate of a 6.00 m/s2 for a time

jasenka [17]

In the 4.10 seconds that elapsed, Ben reaches a velocity of

$v_f=v_0+at\implies v_f=0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+\left(6.00\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(4.10\,\mathrm s)$

$\implies v_f=24.6\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$

In this time, his displacement $\Delta x$ satisfies

${v_f}^2-{v_0}^2=2a\Delta x\implies\left(24.6\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2-\left(0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2=2\left(6.00\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\Delta x$

$\implies\Delta x=50.4\,\mathrm m$
