Ipatiy [6.2K]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The index of refraction of this material is 1.7241

Explanation:

Recall that the index of refraction (n) of a medium is defined as the quotient between the speed of light in vacuum divided the speed of light in the medium whose index of refraction is being calculated. In mathematical terms:

n=\frac{c}{v}

Therefore, in our case, since we know the speed of light in the medium (v=1.74\,\,10^8\,\,m/s) and the speed of light in vacuum (c=3\,\,10^8\,\,m/s), we can estimate the index of refraction of the medium:

n=\frac{c}{v} \\n=\frac{3\,\,10^8}{1.74\,\,10^8} \\n=1.7241

Suppose an object is moving in a straight line at 50 miles/hr. According to Newton's first law of motion, the object will ______
Setler [38]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that a body will remain in its state of rest or if its in motion will continue to move in a straight line, unless its acted upon by an external force.The ability of an object to stay at rest or in motion if its in motion is known as inertia.

Hence the correct option is B.

Find the length (in m) of an organ pipe closed at one end that produces a fundamental frequency of 494 Hz when air temperature i
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

0.173 m.

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency of a closed pipe is given as

fc = v/4l .................. Equation 1

Where fc = fundamental frequency of a closed pipe, v = speed of sound  l = length of the pipe.

Making l the subject of the equation,

l = v/4fc ................ Equation 2

also

v = 331.5×0.6T ................. Equation 3

Where T = temperature in °C, T = 18.0 °c

Substitute into equation 3

v = 331.5+0.6(18)

v = 331.5+10.8

v = 342.3 m/s.

Also given: fc = 494 Hz,

Substitute into equation 2

l = 342.3/(4×494)

l = 342.3/1976

l =0.173 m.

Hence the length of the organ pipe = 0.173 m.

The speed of an object and the direction in which it moves constitute a vector quantity known as the velocity. an ostrich is run
Orlov [11]
Velocity of an object is its rate of change of the object's position per interval of time. Velocity is a vector quantity which means that it consists of a magnitude and a direction. Magnitude is represented by the speed and the direction is represented by the angle. To determine the velocity components, we use trigonometric functions to determine the angle of the components. For the north component we, use the sine function while, for the west component, we use the cosine function. We calculate as follows:
north velocity component = (16.8 m/s) (sin 54°) = 16.4 m/s
<span>west velocity component = (16.8 m/s) (cos 54°) = 3.49 m/s</span>
