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.

how is momentum conserved when a cue ball moving with a velocity of 1.5 m/s strikes another billiard ball white playing pool? Sh
mote1985 [20]

according to conservation of momentum , total sum of momentum of the objects taking part in a collision is same before and after the collision.

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after the collision

when a cue ball moving at velocity 1.5 m/s hits a billiard ball , transfer of momentum takes place between the balls such that total sum of momentum of cue ball and billiard ball remain same before and after the collision.

hence we say that the momentum is conserved.

You took a running leap off a high diving platform. You were running at 3.1 m/s and hit the water 2.4 seconds later. How high wa
rusak2 [61]

The distance you free-fall from rest is  D = (1/2) (g) (T²) <== memorize this

Height of the platform = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (2.4 sec)²

Height = (4.9 m/s²) (5.76 s²)

Height = (4.9/5.76) meters

Height = 28.2 meters (a VERY high platform ... about 93 ft off the water !)

Without air-resistance, your horizontal speed doesn't change.  It's constant.  Traveling 3.1 m/s for 2.4 sec, you cover (3.1 m/s x 2/4 s) = 7.4 m horizontally.
