3 0

Answer:

n = \frac{c}{v}

Explanation:

Refractive Index: It is a measure to find how fast the light travels through a medium. It is ration of the speed of light in vacuum to speed of light in the medium. Speed of light is not constant and varies depending on the density of the medium.

In vacuum the speed of light is 300000 km/s and is denoted by c. When the light beam enters any medium the speed will decrease. Here it is given that the speed in plastic is v. Thus the refractive index(n) is given as:

n = \frac{c}{v}

It is a dimensionless no.

A metal spehere hangs by a thread. when the north of a bar magnet is brought near the sphere is strongly attracted to the magnet
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

It gets attracted

Explanation:

Materials that attracts magnet gets attracted to the magnet at both the North and South Pole. This can be compared to how neutral objects also gets attracted to the positively and negatively charged rod through the force of polarisation.

This term means that we are interacting with an item at a high-level, with lower-level internal details hidden from the user.
katovenus [111]

Option d) abstraction is the correct answer.

Abstraction is the process of taking away or removing characteristics from something in order to reduce it to a set of essential characteristics. In object-oriented programming, abstraction is one of three central principles Through this process, a programmer hides all but the relevant data about an object in order to reduce complexity and increase efficiency.

At which temperature will water boil when the external pressure is 17.5 torr
ch4aika [34]
<span>The temperature of water will boil at one hundred degrees celsius when the external pressure is at 17.5 torr. Essentially, it is based off of the vaporizing of heat, as well as the gas constant. This is a matter of solving a physics equation and breaking down the factors that will affect the boiling point.</span>

During a baseball game, a batter hits a high .
Harman [31]

Answer: Due that we don't know the initial speed after hitting the ball, we are going to accept that the ball goes up for half of the time and then falls during other half part, that is 3.0 seconds each. Then we know that ball's movement is ruled by the acceleration of gravity formula, as follows: H = Vi * T + 1/2 * g * T^2 V = Vi + g * T where: H is height, Vi initial speed, g gravity acceleration and T time When we only consider the second half of the trajectory, we have that initial speed at the top of that movement is zero, because ball goes up till top, where stops and starts to go down, so : H = 0 * 3 + 1/2 * 32 * 3^2 = 144 ft. So the height of the pop-up is 144 feet.
