Physics

serg [7]3 years ago

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.

If you walk 1.2 km north and then 1.6 km east, what are the magnitude and direction of your resultant displacement?
vodomira [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

 Option A is the correct answer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Let the east point towards positive X-axis and north point towards positive Y-axis.

 First walking 1.2 km north,  displacement = 1.2 j km

 Secondly 1.6 km east, displacement = 1.6 i km

 Total displacement = (1.6 i + 1.2 j) km

 Magnitude = \sqrt{1.2^2+1.6^2} = 2 km

 Angle of resultant with positive X - axis = tan^{-1}(1.2/1.6)=36.87^0 = 36.87⁰ east of north.

a stomp rocket takes 1.5 seconds to reach its maximum height what was the initial velocity and what was the maximum height ?
Zinaida [17]
1) Vf = Vo - gt; Vf = 0 => Vo = gt = 9.8m/s^2 * 1.5s = 14.7 m/s

2) d = Vo*t - gt^2 /2 = 14.7m/s*1.5 - 9.8m/s^2 * (1.5s)^2 / 2 = 11.02 m

Argon, atomic number 18, has an atomic weight of 39.9. Potassium, atomic number 19, has an atomic weight of 39.1. Which of these
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: D

Explanation:

Atomic weight is measured by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus. Argon's atomic number is 18 while potassium's is 19. This means that Argon will always have 18 protons while potassium will always have 19 protons.

To make the numbers easier to work with, round each atomic weight. We'll say the atomic weight of potassium is 39 and the atomic weight of argon is 40. To see how many neutrons each one has, I can set up a simple equation for each using the following equation:

Atomic weight = protons + neutrons

Potassium:

39 = 19 + N  -->  N = 20

Argon:

40 = 18 + N  -->  N = 22

An atom is defined by the number of protons it has, but the number of neutrons can vary. We call these isotopes, or atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. As the math shows, argon typically has more neutrons per atom than potassium does.
