2 answers:

3 0

If the refractive index of some substance is 1.33, then
the speed of light in that substance is

   (speed of light in vacuum) / (1.33) =

   (299,792,458 m/s) / (1.33) = <em>225,407,863 m/s</em>

$v=2.25` 10^{8} \frac{m}{s}$
N=1.33 being the Index of Refraction of a material and $c=3.0` 10^{8} \frac{m}{s}$ the speed of light in vacuum you get:
$v= \frac{c}{N}= \frac{3.0 10^{8} }{1.33}=2.25` 10^{8} \frac{m}{s}$ speed of light in that material.

The most precise measurement of the speed of light in vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s. Which of the following values would you use to

Luda [366]

Answer:

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of light in vacuum = 299,792,458 m/s

speed of light in scientific notation to three significant figures

v = 2.99792458 x 10⁸ m/s

by rounding off the speed to three significant figure.

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

On the fourth place the value is greater than 5 so, on the third place 1 will be added.

now, the speed with three significant figure comes out to be

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

The distance from the Earth to the Sun equals 1 AU. Neptune is 30 AU from the Sun. How far is Neptune from the Earth?AU

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Depending on the relative position of the Earth the Sun and Neptune in the Earths orbit the distances are;

The closest (minimum) distance of Neptune from the Earth is 29 AU

The farthest (maximum) distance of Neptune fro the Earth is 31 AU

Explanation:

The following parameters are given;

The distance from the Earth to the Sun = 1 AU

The distance of Neptune from the Earth = 30 AU

We have;

When the Sun is between the Earth and Neptune, the distance is found by the relation;

Distance from the Earth to Neptune = 30 + 1 = 31 AU

When the Earth is between the Sun and Neptune, the distance is found by the relation;

Distance from the Earth to Neptune = 30 - 1 = 29 AU

Therefore, the closest distance from Neptune to the Earth in the Earth's Orbit is 29 AU

The farthest distance from Neptune to the Earth in the Earth's orbit is 31 AU.

A piston-cylinder device contains Helium gas initially at 150 kPa, 20 o C, and 0.5m 3 . The helium is now compressed in a polytr

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

$P_1=150 kPa$

$T_1=20^{\circ}C$

$V_1=0.5 m^3$

$T_2=140^{\circ}C$

$P_2=400 kPa$

R for Helium $R=2.076$

$c_v=3.115 kJ/kg-K$

mass of gas $m=\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}$

$m=\frac{150\times 0.5}{2.076\times 293}$

$m=0.123 kg$

Similarly $V_2$ can be found

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

$V_2=0.264 m^3$

Work done $W=\int_{V_1}^{V_2}PdV$

$W=\frac{P_2V_2-P_1V_1}{n-1}$

$W=\frac{mR(T_2_T_1)}{n-1}$

Since it is a polytropic Process

therefore $PV^n=c$

$P_1V_1^n=P_2V_2^n$

$(\frac{V_1}{V_2})^n=\frac{P_2}{P_1}$

$(\frac{0.5}{0.264})^n=\frac{400}{150}$

$n=\frac{\ln 2.66}{\ln 1.893}$

$n=1.533$

$W=\frac{0.123\times 2.076(140-20)}{1.533-1}$

$W=57.48 kJ$

From Energy balance

$E_{in}-E_{out}=\Delta E_{system}$

Neglecting kinetic and Potential Energy change

$Q_{in}+W_{in}=change\ in\ Internal\ Energy$

Change in Internal Energy $\Delta U=u_2-u_1$

$\Delta U=mc_v(T_2-T_1)$

$\Delta U=0.123\times 3.115(140-20)$

$\Delta U=45.977 kJ$

$Q_{in}+57.48=45.977$

$Q_{in}=-11.50 kJ$

i.e. Heat is being removed

What is the period of a simple pendulum 47 cm long (a) on the Earth, and ( b) when it is in a freely falling elevator?

Liula [17]

Answer:

a)1.37 s

b)∞ ( Infinite)

Explanation:

Given that

L= 47 cm ( 1 m =100 cm)

L= 0.47 m

On the earth :

Acceleration due to gravity = g

We know that time period of the simple pendulum given as

$T=2\pi\sqrt{ \dfrac{L}{g_{{eff}}}$

Here

$g_{eff}= g$

Now by putting the values

$T=2\pi \times\sqrt{ \dfrac{0.47}{9.81}}$

T=1.37 s

Free falling elevator :

When elevator is falling freely then

$g_{eff}= 0$ ( This is case of weightless motion)

Therefore

$T=2\pi\sqrt{ \dfrac{L}{0}$

T=∞ (Infinite)
