7 0

Answer:

1.86 x 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

n = 1.61

The formula for the refractive index is given by

n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in material

n = c / v

v = c / n

v = (3 x 10^8) / 1.61

v = 1.86 x 10^8 m/s

sweet-ann [11.9K]

We have to add two vectors.

Vector #1: 0.15 m/s north

Vector #2: 1.50 m/s east

Their sum:

Magnitude: √(0.15² + 1.50²)

Magnitude = √(0.0225+2.25)

Magnitude = √2.2725

Magnitude = <em>1.5075 m/s</em>

Direction = arctan(0.15/1.50) north of east

Direction = <em>5.71° north of east</em>

Jen pushed a box for a distance of 80m with 20 N of force. How much work did she do?
Drupady [299]
The answer is 1,600 J.

A work (W) can be expressed as a product of a force (F) and a distance (d):
W = F · d<span>

We have:
W = ?
F = 20 N = 20 kg*m/s</span>²
d = 80 m
_____
W = 20 kg*m/s² * 80 m
W = 20 * 80 kg*m/s² * m
W = 1600 kg*m²/s²
W = 1600 J
