Answer:

The idex of refraction of the medium is 1.31.

Explanation:

the relationship between the index of refraction of a medium and the speed at which light travels is given by:

n = c/v

where n is the index of refraction, c is the speed of light and v is the speed of light in the medium.

n = c/v

= (3×10^8)/(2.290×10^8)

= 1.31

Therefore, the idex of refraction of the medium is 1.31.

Two metallic rods A and B of different materials have same length. The linear expansivity of A is 12×10–6 oC–1and cubical expans

uysha [10]

Answer:

The length of rod A will be <u>greater than </u>the length of rod B

Explanation:

We, know that the formula for final length in linear thermal expansion of a rod is:

L' = L(1 + ∝ΔT)

where,

L' = Final Length

L = Initial Length

∝ = Co-efficient of linear expansion

ΔT = Change in temperature

Since, the rods here have same original length and the temperature difference is same as well. Therefore, the final length will only depend upon the coefficient of linear expansion.

For Rod A:

∝₁ = 12 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

For Rod B:

∝₂ = β₂/3

where,

β₂ = Coefficient of volumetric expansion for rod B = 24 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

Therefore,

∝₂ = 24 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹/3

∝₂ = 8 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

Since,

∝₁ > ∝₂

Therefore,

L₁ > L₂

So, the length of rod A will be <u>greater than </u>the length of rod B

What is true about the force between charges?

shusha [124]

Answer:

The statements A and D are true

The statements B and C are false

Explanation:

The force between charges can be explained by the Coulomb's Law.

According to Coulomb:

1 - Like charges always repel each other

2- Unlike or opposite charges always attrack each other

3- Force between 2 charges is given by:

$F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

where F is the force between 2 charges and r is the distance between 2 charges.

We can see that Force F is inversely proportional to the distance r

Which means that when F increase, r decreases and when F decreases, r increases

You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 44 m in front of you. Your reaction tim

never [62]

Answer:

14.0 m

25.1 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Distance traveled in the reaction time

Distance = Speed × Time

$\text{Distance}=20\times 0.5=10\ m$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-20^2}{2\times -10}\\\Rightarrow s=20\ m$

Distance in which the car will stop is 10+20 = 30.0 m

So, the car will not hit the deer

Distance between the car and deer is 44-30 = 14.0 m

$\text{Distance}=u\times 0.5=0.5u\ m$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u^2=v^2-2as\\\Rightarrow u^2=0^2-2\times -10\times (44-0.5u)\\\Rightarrow u^2=20(44-0.5u)\\\Rightarrow u^2=880-10u\\\Rightarrow u^2+10u-880=0$

$u=\frac{-10+\sqrt{10^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-880\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}, u=\frac{-10-\sqrt{10^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-880\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}\\\Rightarrow u=25.08, -35.08\ m/s$

Maximum speed of the car by which it will not hit the deer is 25.1 m/s
