A light beam is directed parallel to the axis of a hollow cylindrical tube. When the tube contains only air, the light takes 8.7

2 ns to travel the length of the tube, but when the tube is filled with a transparent jelly, the light takes 1.82 ns longer to travel its length. What is the refractive index of this jelly?

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of light in a medium of refractive index V = V₀ / μ

V₀  is velocity of light in air and μ is refractive index of light.

time to travel in tube with air =  length of tube / velocity of light

8.72 ns = L / V₀  L is length of tube .

time to travel in tube with jelly =  length of tube / velocity of light

8.72+ 1.82  = L / V  L is length of tube .

10.54 ns = L / V

dividing the equations

10.54 / 8.72 = V₀  / V

10.54 / 8.72 =   μ

1.21 =  μ

refractive index of jelly = 1.21 .

The answer is C) the density of the rock

Density of rock is the dependent variable, because it depends on the temperature. The temperature can’t be the dependent variable because ,the density of a rock does not have magical powers that can change temperature of a room. However changing the temperature of the room ,will change the density of the rock. Hope this helps !

An object experiences an acceleration of -6.8m/s^2. As a result, it accelerates from 54m/s to a complete stop. how much distance
Kipish [7]

Answer:

210 m

Explanation:

Given:

a = -6.8 m/s²

v₀ = 54 m/s

v = 0 m/s

Find: Δx

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(0 m/s)² = (54 m/s)² + 2 (-6.8 m/s²) Δx

Δx ≈ 210 m
