The speed of light in a material is given by:
v= \frac{c}{n}
where
c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light in vacuum
n is the refractive index of the material

The lens in this problem has a refractive index of n=1.50, therefore the speed of light in the lens is
v= \frac{c}{n}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.50}=2 \cdot 10^8 m/s

And the correct answer is C).

A packing crate rests on a horizontal surface. It is acted on by three horizontal forces: 600 N to the left, 200 N to the right,
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The resultant force would (still) be zero.

Explanation:

Before the 600-N force is removed, the crate is not moving (relative to the surface.) Its velocity would be zero. Since its velocity isn't changing, its acceleration would also be zero.

In effect, the 600-N force to the left and 200-N force to the right combines and acts like a 400-N force to the left.

By Newton's Second Law, the resultant force on the crate would be zero. As a result, friction (the only other horizontal force on the crate) should balance that 400-N force. In this case, the friction should act in the opposite direction with a size of 400 N.

When the 600-N force is removed, there would only be two horizontal forces on the crate: the 200-N force to the right, and friction. The maximum friction possible must be at least 200 N such that the resultant force would still be zero. In this case, the static friction coefficient isn't known. As a result, it won't be possible to find the exact value of the maximum friction on the crate.

However, recall that before the 600-N force is removed, the friction on the crate is 400 N. The normal force on the crate (which is in the vertical direction) did not change. As a result, one can hence be assured that the maximum friction would be at least 400 N. That's sufficient for balancing the 200-N force to the right. Hence, the resultant force on the crate would still be zero, and the crate won't move.

The main illustration in the video shows the life track of a one-solar mass star. Each point along this track represents _______
REY [17]

Each point along the track of one solar mass star represents the star's surface temperature and luminosity at one time.

<h3>What is the one-solar mass star?</h3>

A star having a mass equal to the mass of the Sun is called a one-solar mass star.

Its life track shows the luminous intensity as well as the surface temperature.
