Answer:

1.73 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 250 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

t = 17 s

Find: a

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

250 m = (0 m/s) (17 s) + ½ a (17 s)²

a = 1.73 m/s²

What distance does light travel in water, glass, and diamond during the time that it travels 1.0 m in vacuum? The refractive ind

lidiya [134]

Answer:

refractive index for water,glass,diamond are 0.752m, 0.667m, 0.413m respectively

Explanation:

refractive index (n) = $\frac{velocity of light in air/vacuum}{velocity of light in substance}$

velocity = $\frac{distance}{time}$

The time for travel is kept constant for all mediums.

refractive index (n) = $\frac{\frac{distance in vacuum}{time} }{\frac{distance in medium}{time} }\\ \\=\frac{distance in vacuum}{distance in medium}$

distance in medium = $\frac{distance in vacuum}{refractive index of medium}$

$S_{medium} = \frac{S_{vacuum} }{n_{medium} }$

For water, n= 1.33

$S_{water} = \frac{1 }{1.33}$

$S_{water} = 0.752m$

For glass, n=1.5

$S_{glass}= \frac{1 }{1.5}$

$S_{glass} = 0.667m$

For diamond, n= 2.42

$S_{diamond} = \frac{1 }{2.42}$

$S_{diamond} = 0.413m$

A body is placed on a rough inclined plane. Why does the frictional force decrease with the increase of angle of inclination

kondor19780726 [428]

The frictional force is directly proportional to the force that is perpendicular on the surface.

When the body is placed on a horizontal level with zero inclination, the only force acting on the body is the gravitational force which always pulls the body down. The gravitational force, in this case, is the perpendicular force to the surface. Accordingly, this entire force is used to generate friction

Now as the inclination of the surface increases, the gravitational force is no longer the perpendicular force of the body, its value decreases, which means only a part is used to generate frictional force. Consequently, frictional force decreases.

When the inclination reaches 90 degrees, the gravitational force does not act along the normal and accordingly, no friction force is generated.
