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

To maximize the percentage of the power from the emf of a battery that is delivered to a device, what should the internal resist
Simora [160]

To maximize the power delivered to load, we should minimize the internal resistance which means option A is correct.

<h3>What is the relationship between the power and the internal resistance?</h3>

Power  can be  delivered to the internal resistance of a battery, but in a case whereby there is a decrease in the internal resistance will bring about the decrease in the  lost power  as well as the  increase in  the percentage of the power delivered to the device.

In this case, To maximize the power delivered to load, we should minimize the internal resistance

Therefore, Option A is correct.

Calculate the hang time of a person who moves 3 m horizontally during a 1.25-m high jump. What is the hang time when the person
jekas [21]

The duration of time for which an object stays in air is called the hang time.

For an athlete who moves 3m horizontally during a 1.25m high jump, the hang time will be the sum of the time taken by the athlete to reach the maximum height and the time taken for the athlete to reach the ground from maximum height.

Calculate the time taken t_1 by the athlete to reach the maximum height

t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2(1.25)}{9.8}}

t_1 = 0.5s

The athlete takes same time to reach the ground from the maximum height, so t_2 = 0.5s

Calculate the hang time will be

t =t_1+t_2

t = 0.5+0.5

t = 1s

Therefore the hang time of the athlete when he moves a horizontal distance of 3m is 1s.

Similarly, when the athlete runs 6m horizontally, then also there will not be a change in the hang time of the athlete as the hang time is independent of the horizontal distance covered.
