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.

Andreyy89

Answer:

 B. twice as much kinetic energy

Explanation:

Lets take the mass of the first marble =2 m

the mass of the second marble = m

We know that velocity of particle does not depends on their mass that is the velocity of both mass will be same after dropping from the roof.

We know that kinetic energy of a mass is given as

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}Mv^2

Kinetic energy for heavier mass

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2m\times V^2

Kinetic energy for light mass

KE'=\dfrac{1}{2}\times m\times V^2

KE=2 KE '

Form above two equation we can say that ,the kinetic energy for the heavier mass is twice the lighter mass.

Therefore the answer will be B.

A surveyor is using a magnetic compass 5.6 m below a power line in which there is a steady current of 140 A. (a) What is the mag
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

(a) B = 5.6 micro Tesla

Explanation:

Current in the wire, i = 140 A

distance, r = 5 m

The formula for the magnetic field at a distance r due to the current carrying wire

B=\frac{\mu _{0}}{4\pi }\times \frac{2i}{r}

B=10^{-7}\times \frac{2\times140}{5}

B = 5.6 x 10^-6 Tesla

B = 5.6 micro Tesla

(b) As the magnetic field of earth at this site is 20 micro tesla so the magnetic field due to current carrying wire interfere the magnetic compass.

A block of gelatin is 120 mm by 120 mm by 40 mm when unstressed.
ycow [4]

Answer:

σ = 3.402 KPa ,  γ = 0.25 , G = 13.608 KPa

Explanation:

Given:-

- The dimension of gelatin block = ( 120 x 120 x 40 ) mm

- The applied force, F = 49 N

- The displacement of upper surface, x = 10 mm

Find:-

Find the shearing stress, shearing strain and  shear modulus.​

Solution:-

- The shear stress is the internal pressure created in an object opposing the applied action ( Force, moment, bending, or torque ).

- A force of F = 49 N was applied parallel to the top surface of the gelatin block.

- The shear effect results in a stress in the gelatin block.

- The formulation of stress ( σ ) is given below:

                        σ = F / A

Where,

           A : The surface area of the object that experiences the shear force.

- The top surface have the following dimensions:

          A = ( 0.120 )*( 0.120 ) = 0.0144 m^2

Therefore,

                     σ = 49 / 0.0144

                     σ = 3.402 KPa

- The shear strain ( γ ) is the measurement of change in dimension per unit depth of the block.

- The top surface undergoes a displacement of ( x ). The height of the top surface of the gelatin block is L = 40 mm.

Hence,

                    γ = x / L

                    γ = 10 / 40

                    γ = 0.25

- The shear modulus or the modulus of rigidity ( G ) is a material intrinsic property that signifies the amount of resistive stress to any cause of deformation.

- It is mathematically expressed as a ratio of shear stress  ( σ ) and shear strain ( γ ):

                   G =  σ / γ

                   G = 3.402 / 0.25

                   G = 13.608 KPa

Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

An object will sink in water when its density is greater than that of water, which is 1 g/cm³.

Volume of the box is <u>1331 cm³</u>. (11³)

Maximum mass of sand will be 1331 g. [because 1331/1331 = 1 g/cm³]

  • Volume of sand = Mass of sand / Density of sand
  • Volume (sand) = 1331/3.5
  • Volume (sand) = 380.29 cm³

If the volume of sand is <u>greater than 380.29 cm³</u>, the box will sink in water.
