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.

What does Kepler's first law of planetary motion imply?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is D.  The distance between the planet and the Sun changes as the planet orbits the sun.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Kepler’s laws of planetary motion, derived by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler, are the laws of physics that describe the motions of the planets in the solar system.

According to the Kepler's first law of planetary motion: the path on which the planets orbit around the sun is elliptical in shape, with the center of the sun at one focus.

Therefore, the distance between the Sun and the planets vary as the planet orbit around the sun.

A metal rod has a moves with a constant velocity of 40 cm/s along two parallel metal rails through a magnetic field of 0.575 T.
love history [14]

Answer:

2.12/R mW

Explanation:

The electrical power, P generated by the rod is

P = B²L²v²/R where B = magnetic field = 0.575 T, L = length of metal rod = separation of metal rails = 20 cm = 0.2 m, v = velocity of metal rod = 40 cm/s = 0.4 m/s and R = resistance of rod = ?

So, the induced emf on the conductor is

E = BLv

= 0.575 T × 0.2 m × 0.4 m/s

= 0.046 V

= 46 mV

The electrical power, P generated by the rod is

P = B²L²v²/R

=  B²L²v²/R

So, P = (0.575 T)² × (0.2 m)² × (0.4 m/s)²

= 0.002116/R W

= 2.12/R mW
