What does a refractive index from medium 1 to medium 2 mean? Isn't one of the medium must be vacuum?

Physics

Refractive index is the measure of bending of a ray of light when passing from one medium into another. It is not necessary that one medium must be vaccum.

For example, the image below shows refraction, where first medium is air and second medium is water.

What is the momentum of a baseball with a mass of 0.12 kg being thrown
Savatey [412]

Answer:

5.4kgm/s towards the hitter.

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass  = 0.12kg

Velocity  = 45m/s

Unknown:

Momentum of the baseball  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we  must understand that the momentum of a body is the quantity of motion it possesses.

 Momentum  = mass x velocity

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

 Momentum  = 0.12 x 45  = 5.4kgm/s towards the hitter.

Is the mass of an object measured with scale, yes or no​
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The scale actually measures the force that the object does against it, and that force is called the weight.

Such that if we have an object with mass M and we are on Earth, where the gravitational acceleration is g, the weight is:

W = M*g

Now, there is a unit called "kilogram-force"

Such that on Earth, an object that has a mass of 10 kilograms, weighs 10 kilograms-force.

Then from the weight measure, we can instantly know the mass of the object, but the thing that is being measured is the weight, not the mass.

Calculate the density of the football. Use the formula D = m/V where D is the density, m is the mass, and V is the volume. Recor
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Detailed explanation:

Density of water=1000kg/m³

Hence mass of water displaced is:

m=d×v

=1000kg/m³×(4.3×10^-3)m³ (volume of water displaced converted to L)

=4.3 kg of water

Hence, mass of football is also 4.3 kg(Archimedes principle)

Thus density of football

=mass÷volume

substitute the mass and volume and solve.

hope this helps

Plsss help I don’t understand this
nekit [7.7K]

B is the correct option.

1. Given eqn;

S(t) = 1/2t² - 4t + 8

2.Differentiate the above eqn with respect to t;

<u>d(S(t))</u> = t - 4

dt

When distance, S, is differentiated it results to velocity.

V = t - 4

at t = 10

V = 10 - 4

V = 6 feet/s

Discuss how a photon (aka the light particle) can be affected by gravity despite being massless.
Over [174]

Explanation:

Light is clearly affected by gravity, just think about a black hole, but light supposedly has no mass and gravity only affects objects with mass. On the other hand, if light does have mass then doesn't mass become infinitely larger the closer to the speed of light an object travels.
