First, determine the mass of the object by dividing its weight on Earth by 9.8 m/s² as shown below,
                                   m = 250 N / 9.8 m/s² = 25.51 kg
Then, multiply the obtained mass by the acceleration due to gravity (g) on Pluto. 
                                  W (in Pluto) = (25.51 kg) x (0.61 m/s²)  = 15.56 N
Therefore, the object will only weigh 15.56 N.

Light traveling through air encounter a second medium which slows the light to 2.7 x 10^8. What is the index of the medium?
kozerog [31]

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

Can someone help me with 1-2
ira [324]
Can't really plot a graph here for question 1.

2a) The car speeds up from A to B. The car travels at a constant speed from B to C. The car slows down to a stop from C to D.

b) From the graph, at 10 seconds, the car is moving at 20 m/s.

Along some shorelines, incoming waves cause the water to simply rise and fall rather that form a surf zone. What does this tell
NARA [144]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Along some shorelines, incoming waves cause the water to simply rise and fall and not form surfs because of the steepness of the shorelines. Long period waves wont form surfs at steep shores because of the breaking and unstability of waves. Wave breaks at the shallow waters. The breaking of the waves depends upon H/L ratio.
