Explanation:
<u>Accelerated Motion</u>
The acceleration of a moving body is defined as the relation of change of speed (or velocity in vector form) with the time taken. The formula is given by
Or, equivalently
Where vf and vo are the final and initial speeds respectively. The problem gives us these values: v0 = 3 m/s, vf = 1 m/s, t = 3 seconds. Computing a
The negative sing of a indicates there is deceleration or decreasing speed
The correct answer is
C. Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through Object A.
In fact, the index of refraction of a material is defined as:
where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in the material. Rearranging the equation, we can write the speed of light in the material as:
So we that, the smaller the refractive index n, the greater the speed of light in the material, v. In this problem, object B has lower refractive index than object A, so light travels faster in object B.
