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.

A baseball is hit nearly straight up into the air with a speed of 22 m/s. (a) how high does it go? (b) how long is it in the air
Mariulka [41]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

When the ball attains maximum height, it will have zero vertical velocity.
The maximum height, h. obeys the equation
0 = (22 m/s)² - 2*(9.8 m/s²)*(h m)
h = 22²/(2*9.8) = 24.694 m

Answer: The maximum height attained is 24.7 m (nearest tenth)

Part b.
The vertical height traveled by the ball obeys the equation
h = (22 m/s)t - (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)²
where
h = vertical height, m
g = 9.8 m/s², acceleration due to gravity
t = time, s

To find how long the ball stays in the air, set h = 0 to obtain
4.9t² - 22t = 0
t(4.9t - 22) = 0
t = 0, or t = 22/4.9 = 4.49 s
t = 0 corresponds to the launch, and t = 4.49 s corresponds to when the ball retuns to the ground.

Answer: The ball stays in the air for 4.5 s (nearest tenth)

Sound waves are a longitudinal wave that have a speed of about 340 m/s when traveling through room temperature air. What is the
AlexFokin [52]

The wavelength of the wave is 0.055 m

Explanation:

The relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the wave equation:

v=f\lambda

where

v is the speed

f is the frequency

\lambda is the wavelength

For the sound wave in this problem we have

v = 340 m/s is the speed

f = 6,191 Hz is the frequency

Solving for \lambda, we find the wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{340}{6191}=0.055 m

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

a

Explanation:

<u>In order to maintain speed, a moving object or person must move at a constant velocity</u>. Accelerating will increase the speed while decelerating will reduce the speed.

Hence, for Bolt to be able to maintain the top speed for a few seconds, he needs to move at a constant velocity.

The correct option is a.
