Answer:

The index of refraction for the piece of glass is 1.52

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of light in vacuum, $c=2.99\times 10^8\ m/s$

Speed of light through a piece of glass is, $v=1.97\times 10^8\ m/s$

The ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a medium is called refractive index i.e.

$n=\dfrac{c}{v}$

$n=\dfrac{2.99\times 10^8}{1.97\times 10^8}$

n = 1.52

Hence, the index of refraction for the piece of glass is 1.52

Option (b) is correct.The index of refraction for the glass is 1.52

Explanation:

velocity of light in vacuum= C= 2.99 x 10⁸m/s

Velocity of light in glass = V= 1.97 x 10⁸m/s

The refractive index is given by n= $\frac{c}{v}$

n= 2.99 x 10⁸/1.97 x 10⁸m/s

n= 1.52

Thus the refractive index of glass is 1.52

a 2.35 water bucket is swung in a full cirlce of radius 0.824 m just fast enough so that the water doesn't fall out the top mean

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

2.84 m/s

Explanation:

At the top position of the circular trajectory, the normal reaction is zero:

N = 0

So it means that the only force that is providing the centripetal force is the gravitational force (the weight of the bucket). Therefore we have:

$mg = m \frac{v^2}{r}$

where

m is the mass of the water bucket

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

v is the speed of the bucket

r = 0.824 m is the radius of the circle

Solving for v,

$v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{(9.8 m/s^2)(0.824 m)}=2.84 m/s$

A 0.750 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 13.0 N/m . While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it w

trapecia [35]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation. From this conservation we will find the magnitude of the amplitude. Later for the second part, we will need to find the period, from which it will be possible to obtain the speed of the body.

A) Conservation of Energy,

$KE = PE$

$\frac{1}{2} mv ^2 = \frac{1}{2} k A^2$

Here,

m = Mass

v = Velocity

k = Spring constant

A = Amplitude

Rearranging to find the Amplitude we have,

$A = \sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}$

Replacing,

$A = \sqrt{\frac{(0.750)(31*10^{-2})^2}{13}}$

$A = 0.0744m$

(B) For this part we will begin by applying the concept of Period, this in order to find the speed defined in the mass-spring systems.

The Period is defined as

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

Replacing,

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.750}{13}}$

$T= 1.509s$

Now the velocity is described as,

$v = \frac{2\pi}{T} * \sqrt{A^2-x^2}$

$v = \frac{2\pi}{T} * \sqrt{A^2-0.75A^2}$

We have all the values, then replacing,

$v = \frac{2\pi}{1.509}\sqrt{(0.0744)^2-(0.750(0.0744))^2}$

$v = 0.2049m/s$

A solenoid with an inductance of 8 mH is connected in series with a resistance of 5 Ω and an EMF forming a series RL circuit. A

monitta

Answer:

induced EMF = 240 V

and by the lenz's law direction of induced EMF is opposite to the applied EMF

Explanation:

given data

inductance = 8 mH

resistance = 5 Ω

current = 4.0 A

time t = 0

current grow = 4.0 A to 10.0 A

to find out

value and the direction of the induced EMF

solution

we get here induced EMF of induction is express as

E = - L $\frac{dI}{dt}$ ...................1

so E = - L $\frac{I2 - I1}{dt}$

put here value we get

E = - 8 × $10^{-3}$ $\frac{10 - 4}{0.2*10^{-3}}$

E = -40 × 6

E = -240

take magnitude

induced EMF = 240 V

and by the lenz's law we get direction of induced EMF is opposite to the applied EMF
