The ratio of the speed of light v in a medium to the speed of light in a vacuum c is called its Refractive Index n
v/c=n
Different substances have different Refractive Indices (plural of Index). Values are always bigger than 1.
Refractive index of water is 1.33
Refractive index of glass is about 1.4

Find the distance covered by a car in 10 second, if it is moving at the speed of 20m/s​
labwork [276]

Answer:

solution

we know that .

s=ut+½at²

now, putting the values in the second equation of motion ,

we get,

S=20×10+1/2×(10)²

S=200+1×100

S=200+100

S=300m

the distance covered by given body or object in 10 seconds is 300 m.

A batter hits a baseball m = 0.41 kg from rest with a force of F = 81
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

7.0s

Explanation:

Mass = 0.41kg

F= 81N

t = 0.22s

¤ = 29°

Lo = 86m

From impulse equation,

F*t = m* v

81 * 0.22 = 0.41 * v

Vo = 17.82 / 0.41

Vo = 43.46m/s

Vx= velocity across horizontal plane

Vy = velocity across vertical plane

Vx = Vo * cos ¤

Vy = Vo * sin ¤

Vx = 43.46 * cos 30° = 37.64 m/s

Vy = 43.46 sin 30° = 21.73 m/s

Distance travelled across the vertical plane,

L = Lo + Vy *t + ½gt²

0 = 86 + 21.73t - 4.9t²

4.9t² - 21.73t - 86 = 0

Solving for t in the quadratic equation,

t = 6.96 or -10.04

Using the positive root since time can't be negative, t = 6.96 approximately 7.0s
