I’m pretty sure it is dropping it horizontally at a slower speed. Sorry if I’m wrong.
B. Is faster in solids than liquids would be the correct answer because the molecules in solids are much closer and can pass along energy faster and more effectively.
Answer:
n = 1.42
Explanation:
The refractive index for a medium is given by the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a medium.
So, the refractive index of the medium is 1.42.
It contains no large maria
When the diver reaches maximum height, the upward velocity will be zero.
We shall use the formula
v^2 = u^2 - 2gh
where
v = 0 (velocity at maximum height)
u = 1.2 m/s, intial upward velocity
g = -9.8 m/s^2, gravitational acceleration (downward)
h = maximum height attained above the diving board.
Therefore
0 = 1.2^2 - 2*9.8*h
h = 1.2^2/(2*9.8) = 0.0735 m
Answer: 0.074 m (nearest thousandth)
