What effect does gravity have on a person living on earth?

The speed of light in vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 m/s. A beam of light has a wavelength of 651 nm in vacuum. This light propag

Answer:

$v=2.58\times10^8m/s$

Explanation:

The index of refraction is equal to the speed of light c in vacuum divided by its speed v in a substance, or $n=\frac{c}{v}$ . For our case we want to use $v=\frac{c}{n}$ , which for our values is equal to:

$v=\frac{c}{n}=\frac{299792458m/s}{1.16}=258441774.138m/s$

Which we will express with 3 significant figures (since a product or quotient must contain the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the least number of significant figures):

$v=2.58\times10^8m/s$

At a height of ten meters above the surface of a freshwater lake, a sound pulse is generated. The echo from the bottom of the la

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity of sound in air at 20 degree = 343 m/s

Velocity of sound in water at 20 degree = 1470 m/s

Time taken in to and fro movement in air

=( 2 x 10) / 343 = 0.0583 s

Rest of the time is

.171 - .0583 = .1127 s

This time is taken to cover distance in water. If d be the depth of lake

2d / velocity = time taken

2 d / 1470 = .1127

d = 82.83 m

Answer:

An increase in air temperature because of its compression.

Explanation:

The Gay-Lussac's Law states that a gas pressure is directly proportional to its temperature in an enclosed system to constant volume.

$P = kT$

where P: is the gas pressure, T: is the gas temperature and k: is a constant.

Therefore, due to Gay-Lussac's Law, when the plunger is pushed down very rapidly, the pressure of the air increase, which leads to its temperature increase. That is why cotton flashes and burns.

I hope it helps you!
