Given the index of refraction, n and speed of light in the vacuum, c, we can solve for the speed of light in the transparent substance by the equation below.
                                                n = c / v
where v is our unknown.
Substituting the known values,
                                            1.7 = (3 x 10^8 m/s) / v
The value of v is equal to 1.76 x 10^8 m/s.

A car accelerates from rest at 3.00 m/second squared What is the velocity after 5 secs ? What is the displacement after 5 second
andrey2020 [161]

Explanation:

after 5 seconds, the velocity is (5s)(3m/s²) = 15m/s

The displacement after 5s is

x=vo + (1/2)at²

x = 0 + (1/2)(3m/s²)(5s)(5s)

x= 37.5 m

An electromagnetic wave of intensity 150 W/m2 is incident normally on a rectangular black card with sides of 25 cm and 30 cm tha
LenKa [72]

Answer:

3.75 × 10⁻⁸ N

Explanation:

Given:

Intensity of the electromagnetic wave, I = 150 W/m²

Sides of the board = 25 cm (= 0.25 m) and 30 cm (= 0.30 m)

therefore,

the area of the rectangular box, A = 0.25 × 0.30 = 0.075 m²

Now,

force exerted on the card by the radiation, F = \frac{IA}{C}

here,

C is the speed of the light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

on substituting the respective values, we get

F = \frac{150\times0.075}{3\times10^8}

or

F = 3.75 × 10⁻⁸ N

An ideal refrigerator does 130. 0 j of work to remove 780. 0 j of heat from its cold compartment during each cycle. what is the
zheka24 [161]

The refrigerator's coefficient of performance is 6.

The heat extracted from the cold reservoir Q cold (i.e., inside a refrigerator) divided by the work W required to remove the heat is known as the coefficient of performance, or COP, of a refrigerator (i.e., the work done by the compressor). The required inside temperature and the outside temperature have a significant impact on the COP.

As the inside temperature of the refrigerator decreases, its coefficient of performance decreases. The coefficient of performance (COP) of refrigeration is always more than 1.

The heat produced in the cold compartment, H = 780.0 J

Work done in ideal refrigerator, W = 130.0 J

Refrigerator's coefficient of performance = H/W

                                                                     = 780/130

                                                                     = 6

Therefore, the refrigerator's coefficient of performance is 6.

Energy conservation requires the exhaust heat to be = 780 + 130

                                                                                          = 910 J

Can somebody help me with this I need to pass
son4ous [18]
<h2>Answer:Radiation-3,Conduction-1,Convection-2</h2>

Explanation:

Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

These waves do not require any medium.This is the way we get heat from sun.Radiation is the quickest mode to transfer of heat.

Conduction is the transfer of heat through collisions of atomic particles.

This phenomenon largely occurs in solids like metals.The neighbour atoms sets the atoms into random motion thereby raising the temperature.

Convection is the transfer of heat through actual movement of medium particle.

This phenomenon occurs in gases an liquids.The medium particles actually traverse through the space transferring the heat.

A 4.0 Ω resistor has a current of 3.0 A in it for 5.0 min. How many electrons pass 3. through the resistor during this time inte
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Number of electrons, n=5.62\times 10^{21}

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistance, R = 4 ohms

Current, I = 3 A

Time, t = 5 min = 300 s

We need to find the number of electrons pass through the resistor during this time interval. Let the number of electron is n.

i.e. q = n e ...............(1)

And current, I=\dfrac{q}{t}

I\times t=n\times e

n=\dfrac{It}{e}

e is the charge of an electron

n=\dfrac{3\ A\times 300\ s}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

n=5.62\times 10^{21}

So, the number of electrons pass through the resistor is 5.62\times 10^{21}. Hence, this is the required solution.
