In order to answer this question, I realized that I needed to know the index
of refraction for ruby, so I went and looked it up.  It's  1.762 to 1.770 .

I started trying to remember how to use this number and the critical angle
to find the index of refraction of the other medium.  That's when I saw the
absurd unit "degrees celsius" for the critical angle, and I got discouraged.
But I perked up very quickly, when I realized that I'm still on the "index of
refraction" list, and while I'm there, I might as well just go ahead and
look up ethyl alcohol too.

It's  1.36  .

A train is uniformly accelerated and passes
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

18 km/hr(1000 m/km) / (3600 s/hr) = 5 m/s

36 km/hr = 10 m/s

v² = u² + 2as

a = (v² - u²)/2s

a = (10² - 5²)/2(1000) = 0.0375 m/s²

v² = 10² + 2(0.0375)(1000)

v² = 175

v = 13.22875... ≈ 13 m/s ≈ 48 km/hr

v = u + at

t = (v - u) / a

t = (10 - 5)/0.0375 = 133.333... 133 s

t = (13.22875 - 10) / 0.0375 = 86.1 s

A strong magnetic field surrounds Earth. How does Earth’s magnetic field help humans?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

A strong magnetic field surrounds Earth and (C) It keeps the solar wind from reaching Earth. If all the particles of the solar wind contact the earth, they would make the ozone layer disappear. The ozone layer is the one in charge of protecting the earth from the ultraviolet radiation.

lakkis [162]

Answer:

p = -q  

he distance is equal to the current distance, so the distance does not change

Explanation:

For this exercise we can solve it using the equation of the constructor

            1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

where f is the focal length, p the distance to the object and q the distance to the image

For a flat surface the radius is at infinity, therefore 1 / f = 0, which implies

          1 / p = - 1 / q

           p = -q

Therefore the distance is equal to the current distance, so the distance does not change
