Which of the following values represents an index of refraction of an actual material?

Sadly, we're forced to answer the question without the benefit of the
list of choices, which, for some reason, you decided not to let us see.

Index of refraction of a substance =

(speed of light in vacuum) / (speed of light in the substance).

Any number greater than ' 1 ' can be an index of refraction. A number
less than ' 1 ' can't be . . . that would be saying that the speed of light
in this substance is greater than the speed of light in vacuum.

an athlete whirls an 8.71 kg hammer tied to the end of a 1.5 m chain in a simple horizontal circle where you should ignore any v

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

T = 692.42 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of hammer, m = 8.71 kg

Length of the chain to which an athlete whirls the hammer, r = 1.5 m

The angular sped of the hammer, $\omega=1.16\ rev/s=7.28\ rad/s$

We need to find the tension in the chain. The tension acting in the chain is balanced by the required centripetal force. It is given by the formula as follows :

$F=m\omega^2r\\\\=8.71\times (7.28)^2\times 1.5\\\\=692.42\ N$

So, the tension in the chain is 692.42 N.

What elements compose the stars and planets in the universe

Savatey [412]

Well hydrogen would be the main element, as a process called nuclear fusion with both helium and hydrogen atoms occurs within stars. And planets are the products of dead stars that have burned through their supplies of hydrogen, helium, and carbon. Planets are a product of this.
