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

Ø=37°
Initial velocity=u=20m/s
g=10m/s²

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow H_{max}=\dfrac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow H_{max}=\dfrac{20^2(sin37)^2}{2(10)}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow H_{max}=\dfrac{400sin^237}{20}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow H_{max}=20sin^237$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow H_{max}=7.2m$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow R=\dfrac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow R=\dfrac{20^2sin74}{10}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow R=40sin74$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow R=38.5m$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow T=\dfrac{2usin\theta}{g}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow T=\dfrac{2(20)sin37}{10}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow T=4sin37$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow T=2.4s$

Now

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow v=u-gt$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow v=20-10(2.4)$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow v=20-24$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow v=-4m/s$

What is the value of acceleration due to gravity at heght h=4re

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: Formula for Acceleration Due to Gravity

These two laws lead to the most useful form of the formula for calculating acceleration due to gravity: g = G*M/R^2, where g is the acceleration due to gravity, G is the universal gravitational constant, M is mass, and R is distance.please mark as brainliest
