Answer:

h=740\ in

Explanation:

Given:

length of each pipe section, l=15\ ft=180\ in

length of each coupling, c=4 \ in

Now according to question we have six hoses which will require 5 couplings to join them.

So the total length of the hose:

h=6\times l+5\times c

h=6\times 180+5\times 4

h=740\ in is  the total length of the hose.

A light beam has speed c in vacuum and speed v in a certain plastic. The index of refraction n of this plastic is
Mnenie [13.5K]

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.

Compare and contrast tension,compression and extension
Semmy [17]
In physical science, tension can be described as the motion that applies a pulling force that is transmitted axially through cables, chains, or string. On the other hand, compression is the application of balanced inward forces while extension is the application of balanced outward forces in the same axis through the object.
