What is the property of a medium that determines the speed of light in the material?

The speed of light is determined by the medium (material) through which the light is travelling. Light travels faster in a vacuum than it does in any other medium. Light changes speed as it passes from one medium to another. This is called refraction.

A juggler throws a bowling pin straight up with an initial speed of 8.20 m/s. How much time elapses until the bowling pin return
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

1.68 s

Explanation:

From newton's equation of motion,

a = (v-u)/t.................................. Equation 1

Making t the subject of the equation

t =(v-u)g............................. Equation 2

Where t = time taken for the bowling pin to reach the maximum height, v = final velocity bowling pin, u = initial velocity of the bowling pin, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Note: Taking upward to be negative and down ward to be positive,

Given: v = 0 m/s ( at the maximum height), u = 8.20 m/s, g = -9.8 m/s²

t = (0-8.20)/-9.8

t = -8.20/-9.8

t = 0.84 s.

But,

T = 2t

Where T = time taken for the bowling pin to return to the juggler's hand.

T = 2(0.84)

T = 1.68 s.

T = 1.68 s

Round to three significant figures.<br> 0.0785584 rounds to
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

0.0786

Explanation:

zero after the decimal place is not a significant figure since it comes before the real integer "7".

"5 " in ten thousandth place is rounded off to "6" because the next digit is also another "5",

so we get the three sfg 0.0786

Is language an innate or an acquired one
horsena [70]
It's acquired. Innate means you have it at birth, acquired means you picked it up. Obviously babies can't speak ;) so it's acquired.

A steel ball of mass 50 g is rolled from the left toward a ball of lead of mass 500 g. The steel ball is traveling with a veloci
alina1380 [7]

Answer: It's hard to say without characterizing the collision. But it will be either A if the collision is totally in-elastic, or B if the collision is totally elastic. It could be anywhere in between for partially elastic collisions.

Explanation:

momentum is conserved, so initial system momentum will be left to right.

The velocity of the center of mass is 50(5) / 550 = 0.4545... m/s

In an elastic collision, the lead ball will move off at twice that speed or 0.91 m/s to the right.

The steel ball will bounce back and move away at 0.91 - 5 = -4.1 m/s . The negative sign indicates the steel ball has reversed course and has negative momentum

In a totally in-elastic collision, both balls would move to the right at 0.45 m/s. The steel ball will still have positive momentum.
