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

A 2.00-kg object traveling east at 20.0 m/s collides with a 3.00-kg object traveling west at 10.0 m/s.
ELEN [110]
Momentum = mass x velocity

Before collision
Momentum 1 = 2 kg x 20 m /s = 40 kg x m/s
Momentum 2 = 3 kg x -10m/s = -30 kg x m/s

After collision
Momentum 1 = 2 kg x -5 m/s = -10 m/s
Momentum 2 = 3 kg x V2 = 3V2

Total momentum before = total momentum after
40 + -30 = -10 + 3V2
V2 = <span>6.67 m/s

Total kinetic energy before
</span><span>= (1/2) [ 2 kg * 20 m/s * 2 + 3 kg * ( -10 m/s) *2 ]
= 550 J
</span>
<span>Total kinetic energy after
</span>= (1/2) [ 2 kg * ( - 5 m/s) * 2 + 3 kg * 6.67 m/s *2 ]
= 91.73 J

Total kinetic energy lost during collision
=<span>550 J - 91.73 J
= 458.27 J</span>
