Answer:
1.11
Explanation:
The index of the medium can be calculated using below formula
V= c/ n ............eqn(1)
Where V= velocity of the light is reduced to while traveling through the second medium= 2.7 x 10^8 m/s
n= index of the medium
c= speed of light= 3 x 10^8 m/s
Substitute for the values in eqn(1)
2.7 x 10^8 = (3 x 10^8 m/s)/ n
Making " n" subject of the formula, we have
n= (3 x 10^8 )/(2.7 x 10^8)
n= 1.11
Hence, the index of the medium is 1.11
Answer:
<em>50%</em>
Explanation:
Given
Initial power = 200W
Final power = 300W
Increment = 300 - 200 = 100W
percentage increase = increment/initial power * 100
percentage increase = 100/200 * 100%
percentage increase = 0.5 * 100
percentage increase = 50%
<em>Hence the percentage increase in speed is 50%</em>
Answer: A voltmeter must have a high resistance where as an ammeter must have a low resistance.
Explanation:
A voltmeter is a device which is connected in parallel to the component across which voltage needs to be measured. In a parallel circuit voltage drop is same at the nodes. The parallel connection must not offer easier path for current to divert from the main circuit and travel. Thus, a voltmeter must have high resistance.
On the other hand, an ammeter which is used to measure current in the circuit must have low resistance as it is connected in series. It should not offer resistance as it would reduce the actual current and measurement would be inaccurate.
<span>Answer:
skater x km/h
cyclist 20 faster x + 20 km/h
skater 30 km
cyclist 80 km
skater time = cyclist time
t=d/r
30 / x = 80 /( x + 20
cross multiply
30 ( x + 20 ) = 80 x
30 x + 600 = 80 x
30 x - 80 x = -600
-50 x = -600
/ -50
x = 12 km/h
12 km/h skater</span>
Answer:
the rope should break
Explanation:
she with equal amounts of pulling are on each side then the rope should slowly start to tare apart and snap/break.
hope this helps you
