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.

A truck is carrying a refrigerator as shown in the figure. The height of the refrigerator is 158.0 cm, the width is 60.0 cm. The
Arada [10]

The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².

<h3>What will be the maximum acceleration of the truck to avoid tipping over?</h3>

The maximum acceleration is obtained by taking clockwise moments about the tipping point of rotation.

Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment

Ft * 1.58 m = F * 0.67 m

where

  • Ft is tipping force = mass * acceleration, a
  • F is weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity, g

m * a * 1.58 = m * 9.81 * 0.67

a = 4.15 m/s²

The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².

In conclusion, the acceleration of the truck is found by taking moments about the tipping point.

What do nuclear fission and nuclear fusion have in common?
adoni [48]

Answer:

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy
