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.

How is a net electric charge produced

Vlad [161]

If an object has more protons than electrons, then the net charge on the object is positive. If there are more electrons than protons, then the net charge on the object is negative. If there are equal numbers of protons and electrons, then the object is electrically neutral.

The circuits, P and Q, show two different ammeter-voltmeter methods of measuring resistance. Suppose the ammeter has a resistanc

qaws [65]

Answer:

Uncorrected values for

For circuit P

R = 2.4 ohm

For circuit Q

R = 2.4 ohm

Corrected values

for circuit P

R = 12 OHM

For circuit Q

R = 2.3 ohm

Explanation:

Given data:

Ammeter resistance 0.10 ohms

Resister resistance 3.0 ohms

Voltmeter read 6 volts

ammeter reads 2.5 amp

UNCORRECTED VALUES FOR

1) circuit P

we know that IR =V

$R = \frac{6}{2.5} - 2.4 ohm$

2) circuit Q

R = 2.4 ohm as no potential drop across ammeter

CORRECTED VALUES FOR

1) circuit p

IR = V

$\frac{3R}{R+3} \times 2.5 = 6$

R= 12 ohm

2) circuit Q

$I\times (R+0.1) =V$

$R+0.1 =\frac{6}{2.5}$

R = 2.3 ohm

Why echos are undesirable in a big hall

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Helloooo

Sound created in a big hall will persist by repeated reflection from the walls until it is reduced to a value where it is no longer audible. The repeated reflection that results in this persistence of sound is called reverberation. In an auditorium or big hall excessive reverberation is highly undesirable

A long ramp made of cast iron is sloped at a constant angle θ = 52.0∘ above the horizontal. Small blocks, each with mass 0.42 kg

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

For cast iron we have

$h = 0.92 m$

For copper

$h = 1.05 m$

For Lead

$h = 1.23 m$

For Zinc

$h = 2.43 m$

Explanation:

As we know that final speed of the block is calculated by work energy theorem

$W_f + W_g = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we have

$-\mu_k mg cos\theta(\frac{h}{sin\theta}) + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

now we have

$v^2 = 2gh - 2\mu_k g h cot\theta$

$v = \sqrt{2gh(1 - \mu_k cot\theta)}$

For cast iron we have

$4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.15cot52)}$

$h = 0.92 m$

For copper

$4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.29cot52)}$

$h = 1.05 m$

For Lead

$4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.43cot52)}$

$h = 1.23 m$

For Zinc

$4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.85cot52)}$

$h = 2.43 m$

Static, sliding and rolling are types of friction true or false

Marina CMI [18]

True because friction happens when two things are rubbed against each other and it creates force and sliding something vigorously against something else can create force.
