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

Ball A Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 50 m/s Ball B Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 80 m/s Ball C Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 25 m/s Which ball has
charle [14.2K]
Definition formula for momentum: P = mv

So P(A) = 0.45 * 50 = 22.5 kgm/s

P(B) = 0.45 * 80 = 36 kgm/s

P(C) = 0.45 * 25 = 11.25 kgm/s

B has the greatest momentum

How rolling friction is less than sliding friction?
vovangra [49]

Rolling friction is considerably less than sliding friction as there is no work done against the body that is rolling by the force of friction. For a body to start rolling a small amount of friction is required at the point where it rests on the other surface, else it would slide instead of roll.

The center-seeking change in velocity of an object moving in a circle is:
NeTakaya

The center-seeking change in velocity of an object moving in a circle is the centripetal acceleration.

So, by Newton's laws, we know that an object moving with a given velocity will remain in constant motion with a constant velocity until we apply an acceleration.

So we define acceleration as the rate of change of the velocity, also remember that velocity is a vector (has magnitude and direction), so, if there is a change the direction of the velocity, we have an acceleration that causes that.

In circular motion, the velocity vector is always perpendicular to the radius of the circle, and it can only be possible if the velocity direction is changing constantly. This will happen because of something called centripetal acceleration.

This acceleration points radially inwards (to the center of the circle) so is also perpendicular to the velocity of the moving object, and this is what causes the constant change in the direction of the velocity of the moving object.

Just to give an example, if you have a string with a mass on one end, and with your hand, you rotate the mass (from the string), the tension of the string would be the centripetal acceleration.
