Answer:

refractive index for water,glass,diamond are 0.752m, 0.667m, 0.413m respectively

Explanation:

refractive index (n) = \frac{velocity of light in air/vacuum}{velocity of light in substance}

velocity =\frac{distance}{time}

The time for travel is kept constant for all mediums.

refractive index (n) = \frac{\frac{distance in vacuum}{time} }{\frac{distance in medium}{time} }\\ \\=\frac{distance in vacuum}{distance in medium}

distance in medium = \frac{distance in vacuum}{refractive index of medium}

S_{medium}  = \frac{S_{vacuum} }{n_{medium} }

For water, n= 1.33

S_{water} = \frac{1 }{1.33}

S_{water} = 0.752m

For glass, n=1.5

S_{glass}= \frac{1 }{1.5}

S_{glass} = 0.667m

For diamond, n= 2.42

S_{diamond} = \frac{1 }{2.42}

S_{diamond} = 0.413m

A stone is thrown straight up from the edge of a roof, 925 feet above the ground, at a speed of 20 feet per second. Remembering
Black_prince [1.1K]
<h2>Answer: 469 feet</h2>

Explanation:

This problem is a good example of Vertical motion, where the main equation for this situation is:

y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (1)

Where:

y is the height of the stone at 6s (the value we want to find)

y_{o}=925ft is the initial height of the stone

V_{o}=20ft/s is the initial velocity of the stone

t=6s is the time  at which we need to find the height

g=32ft/s^{2} is the acceleration due to gravity

Having this clear, let's find y from (1):

y=925ft+(20ft/s)(6s)-\frac{1}{2}(32ft/s^{2})(6s)^{2} (2)

Finally:

y=469ft This is the height of the stone at t=6s

A 0.45-m metal rod moves 0.11 m in a direction that is perpendicular to a 0.80-T magnetic field in an elapsed time of 0.036 s. A
Gwar [14]

Answer:

1.1 V

Explanation:

L = 0.45 m

d = 0.11 m

B = 0.80 T

t = 0.036 s

Let e be the emf.

e = B v L

e = 0.80 x 0.11 x 0.45 / 0.036 = 1.1 V

When astronomers look at distant galaxies, what sort of motion do they see?

Hello! You can call me Emac or Eric.

I understand your problem, that question is pretty hard. But I found some information that I think you should read. This can get your problem done quickly.

Please hit that thank you button if that helped, I don’t want thank you’s I just want to know that this helped.

Please reply if this doesn’t help, I will try my best to gather more information or a answer.

Here is some good information that could help you out a lot!


Let’s begin by exploring some techniques astronomers use to study how galaxies are born and change over cosmic time. Suppose you wanted to understand how adult humans got to be the way they are. If you were very dedicated and patient, you could actually observe a sample of babies from birth, following them through childhood, adolescence, and into adulthood, and making basic measurements such as their heights, weights, and the proportional sizes of different parts of their bodies to understand how they change over time.

Unfortunately, we have no such possibility for understanding how galaxies grow and change over time: in a human lifetime—or even over the entire history of human civilization—individual galaxies change hardly at all. We need other tools than just patiently observing single galaxies in order to study and understand those long, slow changes.

We do, however, have one remarkable asset in studying galactic evolution. As we have seen, the universe itself is a kind of time machine that permits us to observe remote galaxies as they were long ago. For the closest galaxies, like the Andromeda galaxy, the time the light takes to reach us is on the order of a few hundred thousand to a few million years. Typically not much changes over times that short—individual stars in the galaxy may be born or die, but the overall structure and appearance of the galaxy will remain the same. But we have observed galaxies so far away that we are seeing them as they were when the light left them more than 10 billion years ago.


That is some information, I do have more if you need some! Thanks!

Have a great rest of your day/night! :)
