As we know that refractive index is given as

n = \frac{speed \ of \ light \ in \ air}{speed \ of \ light \ in \ medium}

now we know that

speed of light in medium = 2.04 \times 10^8 m/s

now refractive index is given as

n = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{2.04 \times 10^8}

n = 1.47

now we know that refractive index of glycerine is 1.473

So here this material will be <u>GLYCERINE</u>

glycerol or corn oil!!! -----> n=c/v----> (3x10^8) / (2.04x10^8)= 1.47

A block has a volume of 0.09 m3 and a density of 4,000 kg/m3. What's the force of gravity acting on the block in water?
12345 [234]

                                       Density = (mass) / (volume)

                                4,000 kg/m³ = (mass) / (0.09 m³)

Multiply each side
by  0.09 m³ :           (4,000 kg/m³) x (0.09 m³) = mass

                                 mass = 360 kg .

Force of gravity = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

                           = (360 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                           = (360 x 9.8)  kg-m/s²

                           =   3,528 newtons . 

That's the force of gravity on this block, and it doesn't matter
what else is around it.  It could be in a box on the shelf or at
the bottom of a swimming pool . . . it's weight is 3,528 newtons
(about 793.7 pounds).

Now, it won't seem that heavy when it's in the water, because
there's another force acting on it in the upward direction, against
gravity.  That's the buoyant force due to the displaced water.

The block is displacing 0.09 m³ of water.  Water has 1,000 kg of
mass in a m³, so the block displaces 90 kg of water.  The weight
of that water is  (90) x (9.8) = 882 newtons (about 198.4 pounds),
and that force tries to hold the block up, against gravity.

So while it's in the water, the block seems to weigh

       (3,528  -  882) = 2,646 newtons  (about 595.2 pounds) .

But again ... it's not correct to call that the "force of gravity acting
on the block in water".  The force of gravity doesn't change, but
there's another force, working against gravity, in the water.

Adaptive radiation is demonstrated by ____
Vlad1618 [11]

X-rays are high energy electrons that can cause damage when exposed under extreme conditions. The best technology that can block it is using a lightweight type of metal foam. It can take in high energy collisions which also exhibits high forces. it does not only block x-rays but also, neutron radiation and gamma rays.

Two charges, X and Y, are placed along the x-axis. Charge X is +18 nC and is placed at x = 0. Charge Y is placed at a location o
Helen [10]

Answer:

Charge Z can be placed at <em>x</em> = -2.7 m or at <em>x</em> = 0.27 m.

Explanation:

The Coulomb force between two charges, Q_1 and Q_2, separated by a distance, d, is given

F = k\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{r^2}

<em>k</em> is a constant.

For the charge Z to be at equilibrium, the force exerted on it by charge X must be equal and opposite to the force exerted on it by charge Y.

It is to be placed along the <em>x</em>-axis. Hence, it is on the same line as charges X and Y.

Let the charge on Z be <em>Q</em>. It is positive.

Let the distance from charge X be <em>x m.</em> Then the distance from charge Y will be (0.60 - <em>x</em>) m.

Force due to charge X

F_X = k\dfrac{18Q}{x^2}

Force due to charge Y

F_Y = k\dfrac{-27Q}{(0.60-x)^2}

Since both forces are equal and opposite,

F_X = -F_Y

k\dfrac{18Q}{x^2} = -k\dfrac{-27Q}{(0.60-x)^2}

\dfrac{2}{x^2} = \dfrac{3}{(0.60-x)^2}

2(0.60-x)^2 = 3x^2

2(0.36-1.20x+x^2) = 3x^2

0.72-2.40x+2x^2 = 3x^2

x^2+2.40x-0.72 = 0

Applying the quadratic formula,

x = \dfrac{-2.40\pm\sqrt{2.40^2 - (4)(1)(-0.72)}}{2} = \dfrac{-2.40\pm\sqrt{8.64}}{2}

x = -2.7 or x = 0.27

Charge Z can be placed at <em>x</em> = -2.7 m or at <em>x</em> = 0.27 m

10. Electrical Power: Why do our electronic devices get hot? We know
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Now, think on the electrons flowing through a conductor (we can think on the resistor as a simple conductor, like a piece of metal)

Inside the conductor, we have some "fixed" (they do not flow with the current) electrons, such that as the current flows in the conductor, the flowing electrons can interact with the fixed ones in the conductor. Then we can have collisions inside the conductor.

In those collisions, the flowing electrons leave energy in the conductor, and as we know, heat is a form of energy. Then when we have a lot of these collisions, the temperature of the conductor increases.

That is why electronic devices get hot.

Also, as the temperature of a conductor increases, the electrons inside of it start to move more, then the probability of an interaction with the flowing electrons increases.
