Suppose you have an unknown clear substance immersed in water, and you wish to identify it by finding its index of refraction. Y

ou arrange to have a beam of light enter it at an angle of 45.7∘, and you observe the angle of refraction to be 30.5∘. What is the index of refraction of the substance? Water has an index of refraction equal to 1.333.

Answer: 1.65

Explanation: Snell's law says that index of refraction of the first material times sine theta one equals index of refraction of the second material, which we don't know, multiplied by sine theta two, . So, we'll solve this for N two by dividing both sides by sine theta two. So, N two is N one sine theta one over sine theta two . So, that's 1.33 index of refraction of water times sine of 45.7degrees incidence angle divided by sine of 30.5 degrees angle of refraction, giving us 1.65.

The formula for snell's law is N1*sintheta1=N2*sinetheta2

Answer:

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}

Explanation:

The period of the simple pendulum is:

T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

Where:

l - Cord length, in m.

g - Gravity constant, in \frac{m}{s^{2}}.

Given that the same pendulum is test on each planet, the following relation is formed:

T_{1}^{2}\cdot g_{1} = T_{2}^{2}\cdot g_{2}

The ratio of the gravitational constant on planet CornTeen to the gravitational constant on planet Earth is:

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} \right)^{2}

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \left(\frac{2\,s}{4\,s} \right)^{2}

\frac{g_{2}}{g_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}

A shopping cart rolls from x=19.9m to x=5.40m with an average velocity of -0.418m/s. How much time did it take? (unit=s)
andrew11 [14]

Given

initial position = Xi= 19.9m

Final position Xf = 5.4m

Average velocity= Va = -0.418m/s

it shows displacement is reverse.

To find  t=?

As   Va = (Xf- Xi) / t

t = (Xf-Xi) / ( Va)

t = ( 5.4-19.9) / (-0.418)

t = (-14.5 ) / (-0.418)   (-ve sign cancel out at numerator and denominator)

t =34.69 s
