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.

Two square air-filled parallel plates that are initially uncharged are separated by 1.2 mm, and each of them has an area of 190
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

5.5\cdot 10^{-11} C

Explanation:

The capacitance of the parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

C=\epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}

where

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the vacuum permittivity

A=190 mm^2 = 190 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2 is the area of the plates

d=1.2 mm = 0.0012 m is the separation between the plates

Substituting,

C=(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}) \frac{190 \cdot 10^{-6}}{0.0012}=1.4\cdot 10^{-12}F

The energy stored in the capacitor is given by

U=\frac{Q^2}{2C}

Since we know the energy

U=1.1 nJ = 1.1 \cdot 10^{-9} J

we can re-arrange the formula to find the charge, Q:

Q=\sqrt{2UC}=\sqrt{2(1.1\cdot 10^{-9} J)(1.4\cdot 10^{-12}F )}=5.5\cdot 10^{-11} C

The main difference between a chest and a bounce pass is what?
snow_lady [41]

Answer: The main difference between the three is the mode of transmission. The chest pass is straight through the air towards your teammate. While the bounce pass is directed toward the ground and then at your teammate. Finally, the overhead pass is projected high in the air to avoid defenders.

Us your understanding of asexual reproduction to explain why is it important that organisms reproduce in a variety of ways.
valentina_108 [34]
The genetic material is identical in asexual reproduction- in order for organisms to be strong they need variety so if a disease comes, some of the species may be able to fight it off because of their varied genetics

When you cut yourself how does your body heal the wound
Naya [18.7K]
Chemicals are released by the damaged tissue to bring platelets to the area to become sticky and to plug the vessels. An inflammatory response occurs which brings immune cells to fight infection and other clotting factors come to begin forming a new tissue.
