Answer:

1.97 * 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Refractive index, n = 1.523

Refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a specified medium.

When the medium is glass, the refractive index is given as:

n = Vv/Vg

Where Vv = velocity of light in a vacuum

Vg = velocity of light in glass

The velocity of light in a vacuum is 3 * 10^8 m/s. Therefore,

1.523 = (3 * 10^8)/Vg

Vg = (3 * 10^8)/1.523

Vg = 1.97 * 10^8 m/s

Answer:

1.97×10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

From Snell's Law,

Refractive index of glass = Speed of light in air/ speed of light in glass

R.I = N1/N2................ Equation 1

Where R.I = refractive index, N1 = Speed of light, N2 = speed of light in glass

Make N2 the subject of the equation

N2 = N1/R.I.................. Equation 2

Given: R.I = 1.523, N1 = 3×10⁸ m/s

Substitute into equation 2

N2 = 3×10⁸ /1.523

N2 = 1.97×10⁸ m/s

Hence the speed of light in the glass window = 1.97×10⁸ m/s

Represent 7468 N with SI units having an appropriate prefix. Express your answer to four significant figures and include the app
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

7.468 kN

Explanation:

Here the force is given in Newton

Some of the prefixes of the SI units are

kilo = 10³

Mega = 10⁶

Giga = 10⁹

Tera = 10¹²

The number is 7468.0

Here, the only solution where the number of significant figures is kilo. If any other prefix is chosen then the significant figures will increase.

1 kilonewton = 1000 Newton

1\ Newton=\frac{1}{1000}\ kilonewton

\\\Rightarrow 7468\ Newton=\frac{7468}{1000}\ kilonewton\\ =7.468\ kilonewton

So, 7468 N = 7.468 kN

Can the big bang's sound still be heard?

There is no sound in space because there is no medium to move it. However i think the big bang can still been seen in the form of background radiation but i am unsure.

A race car drives one lap around a race track that is 500 meters in length.
pychu [463]

Explanation:

Check out the picture I drew for a minute before reading this...

B. Distance [the red line] is a scalar quantity reflecting how far an object has traveled. Displacement [the green line] is a vector quantity reflecting how far an object has moved from a point. The key difference is that distance can be any sort of path while displacement is always a vector (or a straight line) between a starting point and a finishing point. Sometimes distance and displacement are equal to one another. Sometimes you have a distance traveled, but zero displacement overall; which is what's going on in your question.

A. The distance that the racecar traveled is indeed 500m. But at the end of the lap, it is right back where it started. So overall, it has been displaced 0m.
