We are given with
distance traveled through vacuum = 1.0 m
refractive index of water = 1.33
refractive index of glass = 1.50
refractive index of diamond = 2.42

distance traveled through water is = 1.0/1.33 = 0.75 m
distance traveled through water is = 1.0/1.50 = 0.67 m
distance traveled through water is = 1.0/2.42 = 0.41 m

Answer:

distance travelled in water = 1 / 1.33 = 0.75 m

distance travelled in glass = 1/ 1.5 = 0.66 m

distance travelled in diamond = 1/ 2.42 = 0.41 m

Explanation:

velocity of light in water, glass and diamond will be 1/1.33 , 1/1.5 and 1/2.42 times respectively of that in vacuum. So distance travelled in these mediums will be less.

Why can we never prove that a hypothesis is true?
erma4kov [3.2K]
A theorem can be proven (from axioms or prior theorems), using logic.

A hypothesis can be supported by evidence. The more evidence in support of the hypothesis, the more likely the hypothesis is to be correct. However, you’re always at the mercy of contrary evidence appearing in the future, to reduce the likelihood or even invalidate a hypothesis.

A (mathematical) proof suffers no such vulnerability to future evidence, as long as you hold the axioms of the theory to be true, and as long as there was no flaw in the construction of the proof.

On a hot summer day, 3.50 ✕ 106 J of heat transfer into a parked car takes place, increasing its temperature from 36.5°C to 44.4
anygoal [31]

Answer:

a) \Delta s=443037.9747\ J.K^{-1}

b) \Delta s=31868131.8681\ J.K^{-1}

Explanation:

a)

Given:

amount of heat transfer occurred,dQ=3.5\times 10^6\ J

initial temperature of car, T_i=36.5+273=309.5\ K

final temperature of car, T_f=44.4+273=317.4\ K

We know that the change in entropy is given by:

\Delta s=\frac{dQ}{T_f-T_i}

\Delta s=\frac{3.5\times 10^6}{(44.4-36.5)} (heat is transferred into the system of car)

\Delta s=443037.9747\ J.K^{-1}

b)

amount of heat transfer form the system of house, dQ=5.8\times 10^8\ J

initial temperature of house, T_i=23.5+273=296.5\ K

final temperature of house, T_f=5.3+273=278.3\ K

\Delta s=\frac{dQ}{T_f-T_i}

\Delta s=\frac{5.8\times 10^8}{278.3-296.5}

\Delta s=31868131.8681\ J.K^{-1}

A vertical spring with spring stiffness constant 305 N/m oscillates with an amplitude of 28.0 cm when 0.235 kg hangs from it. Th
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The function that describe the motion in the time

y (t) = 0.28m * sin ( 36.025 * t)

Explanation:

The angular frequency of oscillation of the spring

w = √k/m

w = √305 N/m / 0.235 kg

w = 36.025 rad / s

To determine the function of the motion knowing as a motion oscillation in a amplitude a frequency

y(t) = A * sin (w t )

So

A = 28.0 cm * 1 m / 100 cm = 0.28 m

So replacing to determine the function of the motion in the time

y (t) = A sin (w t)

y (t) = 0.28m * sin ( 36.025 * t)
