Answer:

The salt is dissolved by the water and heat. If the pot isn't boiling, the salt wouldn't dissolve, it would stay undissolved.

If light has a speed of 122,000 mps in a transparent medium, what is the index of refraction of the medium? A. n = 1.52

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

$A.\hspace{3}n=1.52$

Explanation:

The refractive index of a medium is a measure to know how much the speed of light within the medium is reduced. It can be calculated with the next equation:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$ (1)

Where:

$c=Speed\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}light\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}vacuum\\n=Refractive\hspace{3}index\\$

$v=Velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}light\hspace{3}in\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}medium$

The speed of light in the vacuum is approximately 300,000 km/s. In order to work with the same units let's do the proper conversion with the velocity of the medium:

$122,000\frac{mi}{s} *\frac{1.60934km}{1mi}=196339.48\frac{km}{s}$

Finally, replacing the data in (1):

$n=\frac{300,000}{196339.48} =1.527965746\approx1.52$

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6 of the acceleration due to gravity on the earth. A net force F acts hor

uysha [10]

Answer:

c. $a_m$

Explanation:

We are given that

Acceleration due to gravity on the moon= $a_m$

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth= $a_e$

$g_m=\frac{1}{6}g_e$

Net force due to am on an object on moon= $F_{net}=ma_m$

There is no friction and no drag force and there is no gravity involved

Then, the force acting on an object on earth= $F=ma_e$

$F=F_{net}$ (given)

$ma_m=ma_e$

$a_e=a_m$

Hence, option c is true.

Answer:

It’s called a conservative field.

Explanation:

I think it’s going to be the conservative field because in the question it talks about how it is able to become possible to define potential at a point in an electric field because electric field.

A 1.50 cm high diamond ring is placed 20.0 cm from a concave mirror with radius of curvature 30.00 cm. The magnification is ____

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Magnification, m = -0.42

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height of diamond ring, h = 1.5 cm

Object distance, u = -20 cm

Radius of curvature of concave mirror, R = 30 cm

Focal length of mirror, f = R/2 = -15 cm (focal length is negative for concave mirror)

Using mirror's formula :

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{u}+\dfrac{1}{v}$ , f = focal length of the mirror

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}$

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{-15}+\dfrac{1}{-20}$

v = -8.57 cm

The magnification of a mirror is given by,

$m=\dfrac{-v}{u}$

$m=\dfrac{-(-8.57)}{-20}$

m = -0.42

So, the magnification of the concave mirror is 0.42. Thew negative sign shows that the image is inverted.

A boy throws a ball up into the air with a speed of 8.2 m/s. The ball has a mass of 0.3 kg. How much gravitational potential ene

diamong [38]

We can use the law of conservation of energy to solve the problem.

The total mechanical energy of the system at any moment of the motion is:
$E=U+K = mgh + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where U is the potential energy and K the kinetic energy.

At the beginning of the motion, the ball starts from the ground so its altitude is h=0 and therefore its potential energy U is zero. So, the mechanical energy is just kinetic energy:
$E_i = K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}(0.3 kg)(8.2 m/s)^2=10.09 J$

When the ball reaches the maximum altitude of its flight, it starts to go down again, so its speed at that moment is zero: v=0. So, its kinetic energy at the top is zero. So the total mechanical energy is just potential energy:
$E_f = U_f$
But the mechanical energy must be conserved, Ef=Ei, so we have
$U_f = K_i$
and so, the potential energy at the top of the flight is
$U_f = K_i = 10.09 J$
