Answer:

2.46

Explanation:

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

Critical angle (C) = 24 °

Refractive index (n) =?

The refractive index of the diamond can be obtained by using the following formula as illustrated below:

Refractive index (n) = 1 / sine [critical angle (C)]

n = 1/sine C

n = 1 / sine 24 °

n = 1/0.4067

n = 2.46

Thus, the refractive index of the diamond is 2.46

A boy weighs 40 kilograms. He runs at a velocity of 4 meters per second north. Which is his momentum?
Artist 52 [7]
The formula for momentum is mass times velocity. Simply, we just multiply the given values:
p = mv
p = 40 kg x 4 m/s
p = 160 kg m/s

Other units for momentum is N s.
p = 160 N s

A 1.0-kg ball is attached to the end of a 2.5-m string to form a pendulum. This pendulum is released from rest with the string h
hram777 [196]

Answer:

v_{2}=3.5 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy we have:

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=mgh

Let's solve it for v:

v=\sqrt{2gh}

So the speed at the lowest point is v=7 m/s

Now, using the conservation of momentum we have:

m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}

v_{2}=\frac{1*7}{2}

Therefore the speed of the block after the collision is v_{2}=3.5 m/s

I hope it helps you!

A car is going 8 meters per second on an access road into a highway
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

20.96 m/s^2 (or 21)

Explanation:

Using the formula (final velocity - initial velocity)/time = acceleration, we can plug in values and manipulate the problem to give us the answer.

At first, we know a car is going 8 m/s, that is its initial velocity.

Then, we know the acceleration, which is 1.8 m/s/s

We also know the time, 7.2 second.

Plugging all of these values in shows us that we need to solve for final velocity. We can do so by manipulating the formula.

(final velocity - initial velocity) = time * acceleration

final velocity = time*acceleration + initial velocity

After plugging the found values in, we get 20.96 m/s/s, or 21 m/s
