Speed of light in a medium with n > 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Without thinking, the answer is C.

The problem is with D. Of course it is going to depend on the transparency. If the material is a rock, then the light won't go through, and n >>>1.  I don't think you are intended to think that way, but I sure wish D wasn't there. I'd answer C, but be prepared to see it come out as D.

A physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a softball to her friends in the water below. She th
aliina [53]

Answer:

58.5 m

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the total time the ball takes to reach the water. This can be done by looking at the vertical motion only.

The initial vertical velocity of the ball is

u_y = u sin \theta

where

u = 21.5 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=33.5^{\circ} is the angle

Substituting,

u_y = (21.5) sin 33.5^{\circ} =11.9 m/s

The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by

y = h + u_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 13.5 m is the initial heigth

g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (negative sign because it points downward)

The ball reaches the water when y = 0, so

0 = h + u_yt +\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\0 = 13.5 +11.9 t - 4.9t^2

Which gives two solutions: t = 3.27 s and t = -0.84 s. We discard the negative solution since it is meaningless.

The horizontal velocity of the ball is

u_y = u cos \theta = (21.5) cos 33.5^{\circ} =17.9 m/s

And since the motion along the horizontal direction is a uniform motion, we can find the horizontal distance travelled by the ball as follows:

d= u_x t = (17.9)(3.27)=58.5 m

Un neumático sin cámara, soporta una presión de 1.5 atm cuando la temperatura ambiente es de 300°K. ¿Qué presión llegará a sopor
arlik [135]

Answer:

El neumático soportará una presión de 1.7 atm.

Explanation:

Podemos encontrar la presión final del neumático usando la ecuación del gas ideal:

PV = nRT

En donde:

P: es la presión

V: es el volumen

n: es el número de moles del gas

R: es la constante de gases ideales

T: es la temperatura

Cuando el neumático soporta la presión inicial tenemos:

P₁ = 1.5 atm

T₁ = 300 K

V_{1} = \frac{nRT_{1}}{P_{1}}  (1)  

La presión cuando T = 67 °C es:

P_{2} = \frac{nRT_{2}}{V_{2}}   (2)

Dado que V₁ = V₂  (el volumen del neumático no cambia), al introducir la ecuación (1) en la ecuación (2) podemos encontrar la presión final:

P_{2} = \frac{nRT_{2}}{V_{2}} = \frac{nRT_{2}}{\frac{nRT_{1}}{P_{1}}} = \frac{P_{1}T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \frac{1.5 atm*(67 + 273)K}{300 K} = 1.7 atm  

Por lo tanto, si en el transcurso de un viaje las ruedas alcanzan una temperatura de 67 ºC, el neumático soportará una presión de 1.7 atm.

Espero que te sea de utilidad!

Does the gas have a well defined structure
dem82 [27]

What gas? Gas is an invisible form so I don't see how it would have a "defined structure".

Can you please summarise this, because I can't get the topic

An electric circuit is anything in which electric current flows. Typically it refers to things with wiring like the electronics in your phone, but it can be made of anything that conducts electricity.

Say you have a battery, it basically has a bunch of electrons under a potential (think of gas in a tank under pressure), but the only way for the electrons to move is to move through a conductor, which are molecules with loosely held electrons. If you take a copper wire and touch each end to the two terminals you’ve completed an electric circuit because the electrons can now flow. But you can also put things partway through the wire like a lightbulb, which when the electrons run through it generates light.
