's index of refraction is determined to be 1.333. Knowing this information, which of the following must be true? A. Light can pass through Object A faster than it can pass through Object B.
B. The optical density of Object A is lower than the optical density of Object B.

C. Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through Object A.

D. The optical density of Object B is higher than the optical density of Object A.

C. Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through Object A.

Explanation:

The index of refraction of a material is given by

n=\frac{c}{v}

where

c is the speed of light in vacuum

v is the speed of light inside the material

From the equation, we see that there is an inverse relationship between n (the index of refraction) and v (the speed of light in the material): therefore, the lower the index of refraction, the higher the speed of the light.

In this problem, object A has a refractive index of 1.77, while object B has a refractive index of 1.333: since object B has a lower refractive index, light travels faster in object B.

3, A 4kg block is pushed 2m at an acceleration of 0.2m/s square up a vertical wall by a constant force F applied at an angle of
Andrews [41]

The work done by the applied force on the block against the frictional force is 15.75 J.

<h3>Work done by the applied force</h3>

The work done by the applied force is calculated as follows;

W = Fd

F - Ff = ma

where;

  • F is applied force
  • Ff is frictional force

Fcos(37) - μmgsin(37) = ma

Fcos(37) - (0.3)(4)(9.8)sin(37) = 4(0.2)

0.799F - 7.077 = 0.8

F = 9.86 N

W = Fdcosθ

W = 9.86 x 2 x cos(37)

W = 15.75 J

Thus, the work done by the applied force on the block against the frictional force is 15.75 J.

What is the kinetic energy of an object that has a mass of 12 kg and moves with a velocity of 10 m/s
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

600 J

Explanation:

The formula to find the kinetic energy of an object is \frac{1}{2}mV^2

  • m = mass in kg
  • V = velocity in m/s
  • KE is measured in Joules just as all other forms of energy.

Now, let's plug in the variables we're given and simplify.

  • \frac{1}{2}(12)(10)^2
  • \frac{1}{2}(12)(100)
  • (6)(100)
  • (600)

Thus, the answer is 600 Joules.

Select the options that best complete the statement.
andriy [413]

Answer:

Positively charged particle trajectories always follow electric field lines because the electric force on a positively charged particle is in the same direction as the electric field.

Explanation:

For any positive charge the electric field emerges radially outwards and it goes radially inwards for the negative charges.

  • From the theory of electric field lines we know that they never intersect each other, either they get merged when the sources are unlike or they repel when the sources are alike. In other words the electric field lines align in the same direction as that of the field.
  • So, when a positive charge is released into the an electric field they follow the direction of the field lines because they too have their field lines emerging radially outwards and hence these lines align in the direction of the field.
