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.

Susan works in the research and development department. She has recently purchased a large high-speed external drive and has att

ivann1987 [24]

The reason why Susan's drive is not working is that she has connected the drive to a USB 2.0 port, which does not have enough power for her drive.

USB is a short acronym for the original word called a Universal Serial Bus. USB is a connector interface for connecting a computer to peripherals and other devices.

USB comes in different specs such as the:

USB 2.0
USB 3.0

Some of the characteristics differences between USB 2.0 and 3.0 are:

A USB 2.0 requires 480 Mbps for data transfer speed while USB 3.0 requires 4800 Mbps.

A USB 2.0 has the ability to use a maximum power of 500 mA, while USB 3.0 can make use of up to 900 mA.

From the given information, It is stated that the drive requires a minimum of 400 Mbps and at least 900 mA;

Therefore, it implies that the drive is supposed to work with a power of at least 900 mA for it to work.

But since it is not working, we can conclude that the drive is connected to a USB 2.0 port (500 mA) which does not have enough power for the drive.

a 2.0-mole sample of an ideal gas is gently heated at constant temperature 330 k. it expands from initial volume 19 l to final v

shutvik [7]

Isothermal Work = PVln(v₂/v₁)

PV = nRT = 2 mole * 8.314 J/ (k.mol) * 330 k = 5487.24 J

Isothermal Work = PVln(v₂/v₁) v₂ = ? v₁ = 19L,

1.7 kJ = (5487.24)In(v₂/19)

1700 = (5487.24)In(v₂/19)

In(v₂/19) = (1700/5487.24) = 0.3098

In(v₂/19) = 0.3098

(v₂/19) = $e^{0.3098}$

v₂ = 19* $e^{0.3098}$

v₂ = 25.8999

v₂ ≈ 26 L Option b.

A piston–cylinder assembly contains 5.0 kg of air, initially at 2.0 bar, 30 oC. The air undergoes a process to a state where th

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Explanation:

The process is isothermic, as P V = constant .

work done = 2.303 n RT log P₁ / P₂

= 2.303 x 5 / 29 x 8.3 x 303 log 2 / 1 kJ

= 300.5k J

This energy in work done by the gas will come fro heat supplied as internal energy is constant due to constant temperature.

heat supplied = 300.5k J

specific volume is volume per unit mass

v / m

pv = n RT

pv = m / M RT

v / m = RT / p M

specific volume = RT / p M

option B is correct.

It takes at least 4 people to push a refrigerator up a 10-meter ramp. How many people would be needed to push the same refrigera

vaieri [72.5K]

Double the amount of people because the ramp went from 10-meter to 20-meter, so times by 2. 4 times 2 is 8.
The answer is 8 people.
