Describe in a couple sentences how the index of refraction is related to the speed of light?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: n = c / v" "c" is the speed of light in a vacuum, "v" is the speed of light in that substance and "n" is the index of refraction. According to the formula, the index of refraction is the relation between the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in a substance.

Explanation: the relation is the vacuum and the speed of light in a substance.

An object is moving with a constant velocity of 278 m/s. How long will it take it to travel 7500 m, using the formula Delta X=Vt

rusak2 [61]

If the velocity is constant then the acceleration of the object is zero.
$a=0 (m/s^2)$
Thus when we apply the equation
$\Delta X=vt+(at^2/2)$
It remains
$\Delta X =vt$
or equivalent
$t=(\Delta X/v) =7500/278 =26.98 (seconds)$

A runner completes the 200-meter dash with a time of 19.80 seconds. What was the runner's average speed in miles per hour?

andriy [413]

Answer:

v = 22.54 mph.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance moved, d = 200 m

Time, t = 19.8 s

We need to find the runner's average speed.

We know that,

1 mile = 1609.34 m

200 m = 0.124 miles

19.8 seconds = 0.0055 h

So,

Speed = distance/time

$v=\dfrac{0.124}{0.0055}\\\\v=22.54\ mph$

So, the runner's average speed is 22.54 mph.

2. A carpenter tosses a shingle off a 9.4 m high roof, giving it an initial horizontal

Aleksandr [31]

Sounds like the shingle/ball is thrown from the roof horizontally, so that the distance it travels x after time t horizontally is

x = (7.2 m/s) t

The object's height y at time t is

y = 9.4 m - 1/2 gt²

where g = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, and its vertical velocity is

v = -gt

(a) The object hits the ground when y = 0:

0 = 9.4 m - 1/2 gt²

t² = 2 * (9.4 m) / (9.80 m/s²)

t ≈ 1.92 s

at which time the object's vertical velocity is

v = -g (1.92 s) = -18.8 m/s ≈ -19 m/s

(b) See part (a); it takes the object about 1.9 s to reach the ground.

(c) The object travels a horizontal distance of

x = (7.2 m/s) * (1.92 s) ≈ 13.8 m ≈ 14 m
