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.

7. A child of mass m starts from rest and slides without friction from a height h along a curved waterslide (Fig. P5.46). She is
marissa [1.9K]

The mechanical energy of the girl will be conserved because the system is isolated and the initial potential energy will be equal to final kinetic energy.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of energy?</h3>

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

The change in the potential energy of the  launched from a height into the pool without friction from the given height h is calculated by applying the following kinematic equation.

ΔP.E = ΔK.E

where;

  • ΔP.E is change in potential energy of the child
  • ΔK.E is change in the kinetic energy of the child

mghf - mghi = ¹/₂mv²  - ¹/₂mu²

where;

  • m is the mass of the girl
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • hi is the initial height of the girl
  • hf is the final height when she is launched into the pool
  • u is the initial velocity
  • v is the final velocity of the girl

Thus, for every closed or isolated system such as this case, mechanical energy is always conserved because the initial potential energy of the girl will be converted into her final kinetic energy.

kodGreya [7K]
<span>the gravational potential energy of anything on the ground is zero. When calculating potential energy you take height in meters and multiply it by the mass of the object in kilograms and the acceleration of gravity to get a new unit called Joules. Any object at ground level has a potential energy of zero newtons becuase anything multiplied by zero is zero. An object with mass of 54 kg, 4 meters above the ground has a gravitatinal potential energy of 2116.8 Joules.</span>
