Answer:

Refractive Index = 1.52

Explanation:

As we know speed of light in vaccum is 3 x 10^8 meters per second and distance tavelled by light is 3.97 km or 397000m.

Time taken by light in vaccum = distance / speed = 397000 / 3 x 10^8 = 1.323 x 10^-3 s

Speed of light in liquid = distance / time taken = 261000 / 1.323 x 10^-3 = 197278911 ms^-1 = 1.972 x 10^ 8 ms^-1

According to Snell's law

Refractive index = speed of light in vaccum / speed of light in medium = 3 x 10^8 ms^-1 / 1.972 x 10^8 ms^-1 = 1.52

What is the transmitted intensity of light if unpolarized light passes through a single polarizing filter and the initial intens
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The transmitted intensity is   I  =  40 \ W/m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The intensity of the unpolarized  light  I_o  =  80 \ W /m^2

Generally for a single filter the transmitted intensity of light  is mathematically evaluated as

           I  =  \frac{I_o}{2}

substituting values

          I  =  \frac{80}{2}

          I  =  40 \ W/m^2

Why do solids have a definite shape?
ddd [48]
Any matter that is a solid<span> has a </span>definite shape<span> and a </span>definite<span> volume. The molecules in a </span>solid<span> are in fixed positions and are close together. Although the molecules can still vibrate, they cannot move from one part of the </span>solid<span> to another part. As a result, a </span>solid does<span> not easily change its </span>shape<span> or its volume</span>

Suppose a NASCAR race car rounds one end of the Martinsville Speedway. This end of the track is a turn with a radius of approxim
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the car will be 12.32 m/s² .

Explanation:

Given that

radius ,R= 57 m

Velocity , V=26.5 m/s

We know that centripetal acceleration given as follows

a_c=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

a_c=\dfrac{26.5^2}{57}=12.32\ m/s^2

Therefore the centripetal acceleration of the car will be 12.32 m/s² .

Why doesn’t a heavy object accelerate more than a light object when they are free falling
Ivahew [28]
I like to think of it this way:

... Gravity pulls on heavy objects with more force than light objects.
(That's why they're "heavy".)

... Heavy objects are the ones with more mass.  Light objects are the ones with less mass.

... Gravity is pulling on more mass with more force, and on less mass with less force.

... But from Newton's 2nd law of motion, we know that it takes more force to accelerate more mass, and less force to accelerate less mass. 
That's exactly what gravity is doing.  So the heavy object with more mass, and the light object with less mass, wind up with the same acceleration.

There you go.  With zero math !
