The sun is 1.5 × 108 km from Earth. The index of refraction for water is 1.349. How much longer would it take light from the sun

to reach Earth if the space between them were filled with water rather than a vacuum?

Answer:

175s

Explanation:

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  vacuum

C=light speed=299792458m/s

X=1.5x10^8km=1.5x10^11m

c=X/t

T1=X/c

T1=1.5X10^11/299792458=500.34s

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  water:

First we calculate the speed of light in water taking into account the refractive index

Cw=299792458m/s/1.349=222233104.5m/s

T2=1.5x10^11/222233104.5m/s=675s

additional time it would take for the light to reach the earth

ΔT=T2-T1=675-500=175s

a person dives off the edge of aa cliff 33m above the surface of the sea. assuming that air resistance is negligible, how long d
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The time is t = 2.595 \  s

The speed is v = 25.43 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The height of the cliff is  h =  33 \  m

 Generally from kinematic equation we have that

       h  =  ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^2

before the jump the persons initial velocity is  u =  0 m/s

 So

        33   =  0 * t + \frac{1}{2} 9.8 * t^2

=>      t = 2.595 \  s

Generally from kinematic equation

     v= u + gt

=>  v= 0 + 9.8 * 2.595

=>  v = 25.43 \ m/s

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The best glasses have a wider bowl than rim to allow for proper swirling. The swirl releases volatile aroma compounds and creates a vortex in the center of the glass towards which these compounds are drawn

1. What is wave motion
nadya68 [22]
A wave is basically propagation of disturbances—that is, deviations from a state of rest or equilibrium—from place to place in a regular and organized way. Most familiar are surface waves on water, but both sound and light travel as wavelike disturbances, and the motion of all subatomic particles exhibits wavelike properties.

Sandy is on a road trip. She leaves at 8:00 AM. It takes her 2 hours to drive 200 kilometers. She stops at a rest stop for half
lutik1710 [3]
The average velocity of Sandy is given by the total distance covered S divided by the total time taken t:
v= \frac{S}{t}

The total distance covered is
S=200 km+0+100 km=300 km
while the total time taken is 2 hours + half an hour (for the rest) + 1 hour and half, so
t=2h+0.5h+1.5 h=4 h
Therefore, the average velocity is 
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{300 km}{4 h}=75 km/h
