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.

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.

An ice hockey puck slides along the ice at 12 m/s.?
Illusion [34]
Since we know that..

I = F . ∆t
= m . a . ∆t ( the puck accelerating after the collision with the hockey sticks)
= m . ∆v/∆t . ∆t
= m . ∆v

Solve for m, we get..

m = I / ∆v
= 4 / 12
= 1 / 3 kg or 0.33 kg

A process generates 250 watts of useful energy and 600 watts of waste energy. WhT is the efficiency of the process?
Cloud [144]

The efficiency of the process is 42%

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Useful energy = 250 watt

Wasteful energy = 600 watt

<h3>Efficiency =? </h3>

The efficiency of the process can be obtained as illustrated below:

efficiency \:  =  \frac{useful \: energy}{wasteful \: energy}  \times 100 \\  \\ efficiency \:  =  \frac{250}{600}  \times 100 \\

<h3>Efficiency = 42%</h3>

Therefore, the efficiency of the process is 42%
