Refractive index, n = v1/v2

Where,
v1 = Speed of light in vacuum = 3*10^8 m/s
v2 = Speed of light in a medium (sphere) = 2*10^8 m/s

Therefore,
n= (3*10*8)/(2*10^8) = 1.5

A ball with 100 J of PE is released from a height of 10 m. What will be the KE of the ball at 5
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is: 50[J]

Explanation:

The ball is having a potential energy of 100 [J], therefore

PE = [J]

The elevation is 10 [m], and at this point the ball is having only potential energy, the kinetic energy is zero.

E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\g= gravity[m/s^{2} ]\\m = mass [kg]\\m= \frac{E_{p} }{g*h}\\ m= \frac{100}{9.81*10}\\\\m= 1.01[kg]\\\\

In the moment when the ball starts to fall, it will lose potential energy and the potential energy will be transforme in kinetic energy.

When the elevation is 5 [m], we have a potential energy of

P_{e} =m*g*h\\P_{e} =1.01*9.81*5\\\\P_{e} = 50 [J]\\

This energy is equal to the kinetic energy, therefore

Ke= 50 [J]

How are types of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum defined?
Drupady [299]
It is defined by their wavelength. Different colors have different wavelengths. For example, radio waves have a really long wavelength, whereas gamma-rays have a very short wavelength.

If an amount of heat Q is needed to increase the temperature of a solid metal sphere of diameter D from 4°C to 7°C, the amount o
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Q = c M ΔT      where c is the heat capacity and M the mass present

Q2 / Q1 = M2 / M1    since the other factors are the same

M = ρ V     where ρ is the density

M = ρ Π (d / 2)^2           where d is the diameter of the sphere

M2 / M1 = (2 D/2)^2 / (D/2)^2 = 4

It will take 4Q heat to heat the second sphere

An object begins x=75.2 m and undergoes a displacement of -48.7 m. what is its final position?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

26.5 m

Explanation:

x_{o} = initial position of the object = 75.2 m

x  = final position of the object

d  = displacement of the object = - 48.7  

Displacement of the object is given as the difference of final and initial position of the object

d = x - x_{o}

Inserting the values

- 48.7 = x - 75.2

x = 26.5 m
