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 law states force is dependent on the mass and acceleration of an object
UNO [17]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion can be stated  

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

in another form,

Force = mass * acceleration

Consider a block on a spring oscillating on a frictionless surface. The amplitude of the oscillation is 11 cm, and the speed of
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s

Explanation:

The speed of the block v = rω where r = amplitude of the oscillation and ω = angular frequency of the oscillation.

Now ω = v/r since v = speed of the block = 62 cm/s and r = the amplitude of the oscillation = 11 cm.

The angular frequency of the oscillation ω is

ω = v/r

ω = 62 cm/s ÷ 11 cm

ω = 5.64 rad/s

So, the angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s

If Fg=mg solve for g
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:Fg = mg however newtons second law states that the net force acting on an object is equal to it's mass times it's acceleration so what allows us to say that Fg = mg because certainly not for every single situation the net force is going to equal to the force of gravity please explain... what allows us to say Fg = mg

A highly volatile substance has an initial mass of 1200 g and its mass is reduced by 12% each second.
Softa [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) 1.00 - 0.12 = 0.88

m = 1200(0.88)^t

b) t = ln(m/1200) / ln(0.88)

c) m = 1200(0.88)^10 = 334.20 g

d) t = ln(10/1200) / ln(0.88) = 37.451... = 37 s

e) t = ln(1/1200) / ln(0.88) = 55.463... = 55 s
