F= MA
force equals mass time acceleration
250 N = (70 kg ) (A)
250/70 = 3.5 which is about 4 m/s
Hope this helps

A beam of white light enters a prism of crown glass (n = 1.5) from air (n = 1.00). Once inside, the colors in the light disperse

eduard

Answer:

= 2.33

Explanation:

.According to snell's law:

n1sin i = n2sin r ,

where n1 is refractive index of the medium in which incident ray is travelling, n2 is the refractive index of the medium in which refracted ray is travelling,

i is angle of incidence,

r is angle of refraction.

Given that,

n1 = 1,

i = 51 degrees,

r = 19.5 degrees. ,

n2= ?

So,

1*sin 51 = n2 sin 19.5

=> n2 = sin51 / sin19.5

= 2.33

What happens to the force between the spheres when you increase the mass of one of the spheres?

andrew11 [14]

The force between the spheres increases when the mass increases in one of the spheres.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Newton law of universal gravity extends gravity beyond the earth's surface. This gravity depends directly on the mass of both objects and is inversely proportional to square of distance between their centers.

$\bold{F=\frac{G \times\left(m_{1} \times m_{2}\right)}{\left(r^{2}\right)}}$

Since gravity is directly proportional to “mass of both interacting objects”, stronger objects with greater gravitational force attract. If the mass of one object increases, gravity between them also increases. For example, if an object's mass of one double, force between them also doubles.

Assume light is traveling through an optical medium of n1 and is incident on a boundary with a different optical medium with n2.

Elza [17]

That n2 = 2*n1. That is, the index of refraction is twice as big in medium 2 since v=c/n

Meter #1 can measure voltage to within 0.1 volts. Meter #2 can measure voltage to within 0.01 volts.

Ann [662]

Meter #2 is more precise.

There's no information here that tells us which meter is more accurate.
