The correct answer is (A). The speed of light would increase to a speed larger than the maximum speed of light in vacuum.

The index of refraction is the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a medium.

n=C/V

here, n is the index of refraction, c the speed of light in vacuum, v is speed of light in any medium.

Now if the value of index of refraction is less than one, than the value of speed of light would be greater than the speed of light in the vacuum.

Suppose the earth is shaped as a sphere with radius 4,0004,000 miles and suppose it rotates once every 24 hours. How many miles
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

1047 miles

Explanation:

The radius of the Earth is

r = 4000 (miles)

So its circumference, which is the total length of the equator, is given by

L=2\pi r= 2\pi(4000)=25133 mi

Now we know that the Earth rotates once every 24 hours. So the distance through which the equator moves in one hour is equal to its total length divided by the number of hours, 24:

L' = \frac{25133 mi}{24h}=1047 mi

A 75kg man climbs the stairs to the fifth floor of a building. A total hieght of 16m. His potential energy has increased by
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

11760 joules

Explanation:

Given

Mass (m) = 75kg

Height (h) = 16m

Required

Determine the increment in potential energy (PE)

This is calculated as thus:

PE = mgh

Where g = 9.8m/s²

Substitute values for m, g and h.

P.E = 75 * 9.8 * 16

P.E = 11760 joules

There is a 50 g sample of Ra-229. It has a half-life of 4 minutes.
Sloan [31]

Via half-life equation we have:


A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h} }


Where the initial amount is 50 grams, half-life is 4 minutes, and time elapsed is 12 minutes.  By plugging those values in we get:

A_{final}=50(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{12}{4}=50(\frac{1}{2})^{3}=50(\frac{1}{8})=6.25g


There is 6.25 grams left of Ra-229 after 12 minutes.
