Answer:

A.\hspace{3}n=1.52

Explanation:

The refractive index of a medium is a measure to know how much the speed of light within the medium is reduced. It can be calculated with the next equation:

n=\frac{c}{v}   (1)

Where:

c=Speed\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}light\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}vacuum\\n=Refractive\hspace{3}index\\

v=Velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}light\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}medium

The speed of light in the vacuum is approximately 300,000 km/s. In order to work with the same units let's do the proper conversion with the velocity of the medium:

122,000\frac{mi}{s} *\frac{1.60934km}{1mi}=196339.48\frac{km}{s}

Finally, replacing the data in (1):

n=\frac{300,000}{196339.48} =1.527965746\approx1.52

What are some ways you can vary your tone of voice to help you communicate effectively with others? A. Speaking aggressively
Leno4ka [110]
The answer is D, talking more loudly or quietly.
<span>
An expressive voice can bring totally different meaning to what you are saying. If you speak in a monotone voice, you are implying that you do not care about what you are saying or what the other person is talking about. If you speak expressively with some parts quieter or louder to make a point, it lets the listener know that you care about what you are saying and you care about what they have to say too. You can also emphasize a point by speaking louder or indicate that something is not as important by speaking softer.</span>

Which of the following are true about S waves
shusha [124]

Answer:

3. they can travel through solids

4. they move rock at right angles to the direction of wave travel

Explanation:

  • S waves are called transverse waves they have the ability to move past the solids. They cannot move through the liquids, these waves are perpendicular to the direction of travel.  
  • They are also called longitudinal waves, the ad is second to record on the seismograph as they slowly pass through the rocks. They have a speed of 3.4 to 7.2 km as per the boundary.

In an isolated system, Bicycle 1 and Bicycle 2, each with a mass of 10 kg,
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: 20 kgm/s

Explanation:

Given that M1 = M2 = 10kg

V1 = 5 m/s , V2 = 3 m/s

Since momentum is a vector quantity, the direction of the two object will be taken into consideration.

The magnitude of their combined

momentum before the crash will be:

M1V1 - M2V2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

10 × 5 - 10 × 3

50 - 30

20 kgm/s

Therefore, the magnitude of their combined momentum before the crash will be 20 kgm/s
