What is the speed of light in carbon disulphide if its refractive index is 1.628?

Marina CMI [18]

Refractive index (symbol n) is defined as the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum (symbol c) to the velocity of light in a medium (symbol v). The equation is n=c/v. In order to obtain the speed of light in carbon disulphide the above equation needs to be rearranged to make v the subject. This yields v=c/n. Plugging the numbers in yields a speed to 1.84x10^8 metres per second.

The specialized capillary bed responsible for the pressure that drives filtration is the

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: GLOMERULUS

Explanation:

The specialized capillary bed responsible for the pressure that drives filtration is the

GLOMERULUS.

The kidney is an organ responsible for the excretion of nitrogenous wastes from the human body and osmoregulation of the blood and body fluids. The structure which is responsible for formation of urine is the nephron( kidney tubule). The GLOMERULUS are found within the Bowman's capsule of the nephrons. It is made up of specialised bundle of capillary beds which are the only capillary beds that are not surrounded by interstitial fluid in the body. In the glomerulus, blood pressure is high because an arteriole enters and exists the capillary beds which is responsible for the pressure that drives filtration.

In class we calculated the range of a projectile launched on flat ground. Consider instead, a projectile is launched down-slope

zysi [14]

Answer:

With an initial speed of 10m/s at an angle 30° below the horizontal, and a height of 8m, the projectile travels 7.49m horizontally before it lands.

Explanation:

Since the horizontal motion is independent from the vertical motion, we can consider them separated. The horizonal motion has a constant speed, because there is no external forces in the horizontal axis. On the other hand, the vertical motion actually is affected by the gravitational force, so the projectile will be accelerated down with a magnitude $g$ .

If we have the initial velocity $v_o$ and its angle $\theta$ , we can obtain the vertical component of the velocity $v_{oy}$ using trigonometry:

$v_{oy}=v_osin\theta$

Therefore, if we know the height at which the projectile was launched, we can obtain the final velocity using the formula:

$v_{fy}^{2} =v_{oy}^{2}+2gy\\\\ v_{fy}=\sqrt{v_{oy}^{2}+2gy }$

Next, we compute the time the projectile lasts to reach the ground using the definition of acceleration:

$g=\frac{v_{fy}-v_{oy}}{\Delta t} \\\\\Delta t= \frac{v_{fy}-v_{oy}}{g}=\frac{\sqrt{v_{oy}^{2}+2gy} -v_{oy}}{g}$

Finally, from the equation of horizontal motion with constant speed, we have that:

$x=v_{ox}\Delta t= v_{ox}\frac{\sqrt{v_{oy}^{2}+2gy} -v_{oy}}{g}$

For example, if the projectile is launched at an angle 30° below the horizontal with an initial speed of 10m/s and a height 8m, we compute:

$v_{ox}=10\frac{m}{s} cos30=8.66\frac{m}{s}\\v_{oy}=10\frac{m}{s} sin30=5\frac{m}{s}\\\\x=8.66\frac{m}{s} \frac{\sqrt{(5\frac{m}{s}) ^{2}+2(9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}})8m}-5\frac{m}{s} }{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} } } =7.49m$

In words, the projectile travels 7.49m horizontally before it lands.
