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 .

Trava [24]

Answer:

rotates faster

Explanation:

A huge rotating cloud of particles in space gravitate together to form an increasingly dense ball As it shrinks in size, the cloud rotates faster. Because Angular momentum is conserved, so when it shrinks the moment of inertia decreases, then angular speed must increase. So it rotates fast.

Two identical resistors are connected in parallel across a 26-V battery, which supplies them with a total power of 7.1 W. While
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

A) R = 190.42 Ω

B) P = 5.325 W

Explanation:

We are given;

Total power;P_tot = 7.1 W

Voltage;V = 26 V

A)We are told that while the battery is still connected, one of the resistors is heated, so that its resistance doubles.

Thus, the power is doubled.

Now, formula for power is;

P = IV

Thus, since power is doubled, we have;

P = 2(IV)

Now, formula for current is; I = V/R

So, P = 2V²/R

Making R the subject, we have;

R = 2V²/P

In this question, P is p_total = 7.1 W

Thus;

R = (2 × 26²)/7.1

R = 190.42 Ω

B) Now, the resistance of the resistors are R and 2R.

Formula for power in this context is;

P = V²/R

Thus,

Total power delivered to the resistors is;

P = V²/R + V²/2R

P = 3V²/2R

P = (3 × 26²)/(2 × 190.42)

P = 5.325 W

lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.02kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to L
vodomira [7]

Answer:

I=2 kg.m/s

Explanation:

The impulse is defined as the change of momentum:

I=p_f-p_o\\I=m*v_f-m*v_o\\I=0.02kg*[(-60m/s)-40m/s]\\I=2kg.m/s

We took the final velocity as negative since it is going on the opposite direction of the intial motion of the ball.
