Answer:

$Musa = \frac{1}{3}$

$Ken = \frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

Given

$Ken = 2 * Musa$ --- Ken's share

Required

The fraction each got

Since they both shared a cake, we have:

$Ken + Musa = 1$

Substitute: $Ken = 2 * Musa$

$2 * Musa+ Musa = 1$

Factorize

$Musa(2+ 1)= 1$

$Musa(3)= 1$

Divide both sides by 3

$Musa = \frac{1}{3}$

Recall that: $Ken = 2 * Musa$

$Ken = 2 * \frac{1}{3}$

$Ken = \frac{2}{3}$

What distance does light travel in water, glass, and diamond during the time that it travels 1.0 m in vacuum? The refractive ind

lidiya [134]

Answer:

refractive index for water,glass,diamond are 0.752m, 0.667m, 0.413m respectively

Explanation:

refractive index (n) = $\frac{velocity of light in air/vacuum}{velocity of light in substance}$

velocity = $\frac{distance}{time}$

The time for travel is kept constant for all mediums.

refractive index (n) = $\frac{\frac{distance in vacuum}{time} }{\frac{distance in medium}{time} }\\ \\=\frac{distance in vacuum}{distance in medium}$

distance in medium = $\frac{distance in vacuum}{refractive index of medium}$

$S_{medium} = \frac{S_{vacuum} }{n_{medium} }$

For water, n= 1.33

$S_{water} = \frac{1 }{1.33}$

$S_{water} = 0.752m$

For glass, n=1.5

$S_{glass}= \frac{1 }{1.5}$

$S_{glass} = 0.667m$

For diamond, n= 2.42

$S_{diamond} = \frac{1 }{2.42}$

$S_{diamond} = 0.413m$

A 50.0-kg block is being pulled up a 16.0Â° slope by a force of 250 n that is parallel to the slope. the coefficient of kinetic

Drupady [299]

When dealing with multiple forces acting on a body, it is advisable to draw a free-body diagram like that shown in the picture. There are four forces acting on the box: weight (W) pointing straight down, normal force perpendicular to the slope denoted as Fn, force used to push the box upwards along the slope and the frictional force acting opposite to the direction of motion of the box denoted as Ff. Frictional force is equal to coefficient of kinetic friction (μk) multiplied with Fn.

∑Fy = Fn - mgcos30° = 0
Fn = (50)(9.81)(cos 16) = 471.5 N

When in motion, the net force is equal to mass times acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law of Motion:

Fnet = F - μk*Fn - mgsin30° = ma
250 - (0.2)(471.5 N) - (50)(sin 16°) = (50)(a)
a = 2.84 m/s²
