Answer:

1.95 * 10^8 ms-1

Explanation:

Let us recall that;

Refractive index (n) = Frequency of light in air/Frequency of light in another medium

If Frequency of light in air = 5.09 x 10^14 Hz

Refractive index of sodium chloride = 1.54

Then;

Frequency of light in sodium chloride =  Frequency of light in air/Refractive index of sodium chloride

Therefore;

Frequency of light in sodium chloride =  5.09 x 10^14 Hz/1.54

Frequency of light in sodium chloride =  3.31 x 10^14 Hz

So;

n= Frequency of light in air/Frequency of light in sodium chloride = Speed of light in air/speed of light in sodium chloride

speed of light in sodium chloride = Frequency of light in sodium chloride * Speed of light in air/Frequency of light in air

speed of light in sodium chloride = 3.31 x 10^14 Hz * 3 * 10^8 ms-1/5.09 x 10^14 Hz

speed of light in sodium chloride = 1.95 * 10^8 ms-1

Two vectors of magnitudes 30 units and 70 units are added to each other. What are possible results of this addition? (section 3.
Yanka [14]

Answer:

the correct answer is option C which is 50 units.

Explanation:

given,

two vector of magnitude = 30 units and of 70 units

to calculate resultants vector = \sqrt{a^2+b^2+2 a b cos\theta}

cos θ value varies from -1 to 1

so, resultant vector

=\sqrt{a^2+b^2-2 a b cos\theta}\ to\ \sqrt{a^2+b^2+ 2 a b cos\theta}

a = 30 units    and  b = 70 units

= \sqrt{30^2+70^2-2\times 30\times 70}\ to\ \sqrt{30^2+70^2+2\times 30\times 70}

=   40 units to 100 units

hence, the correct answer is option C which is 50 units.

What is the magnitude of the net force ∑ F on a 1.9 kg bathroom scale when a 74 kg person stands on it?
dexar [7]

Answer:

725.2‬ N

Explanation:

Since it is not stated the scale, the person or both accelerated or experience weightlessness, the net force acting on the bathroom scale is the weight of the person acting downward as the person stands on the scale .

                       Weight = mass of a body × acceleration due to gravity

                                    = 74 kg × 9.8 m/s²

                                    = 725.2‬ N
