The medium is glass (index of refraction: 1.70)

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the concept of index of refraction.

The index of refraction of a medium is given by:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light in a vacuum

v is the speed of light in the medium

For the medium in this problem, we have

v=1.76\cdot 10^8 m/s

So, the index of refraction of this medium is

n=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8}{1.76\cdot 10^8}=1.70

And looking at tables of index of refraction of various materials, we see that various types of glass have index of refraction of 1.70.

Which of the balls will exert the smallest force on object A?Why
olganol [36]
The 1kg ball would exert the smallest force.

As force = mass x gravity, this means that the smaller the mass (kg), the lesser the force.

When the mass is lighter (1kg):

Force = mass x gravity
Force = 1 x 9.8
Force = 9.8N

Compared to when the mass is heavier (10kg)

Force = mass x gravity
Force = 10 x 9.8
Force = 98N

Where this proves that the lighter the mass, the smaller the force exerted.
