Answer:
Explanation:
The index of refraction is equal to the speed of light c in vacuum divided by its speed v in a substance, or . For our case we want to use
, which for our values is equal to:
Which we will express with 3 significant figures (since a product or quotient must contain the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the <em>least</em> number of significant figures):
Answer:
a) 23.51 m/s
b) 1.07 kg
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Kinetic energy, K = 295 J
Momentum, p = 25.1 kgm/s
a) The kinetic energy of a body is given as:
where m = mass of the body and v = speed of the body
We know that momentum is given as:
p = mv
Therefore:
K = 1/2 * pv
=> v = 2K / p
v = (2 * 295) / 25.1 = 23.51 m/s
The velocity of the body at that instant is 23.51 m/s.
b) Momentum is given as:
p = mv
=> m = p / v
m = 25.1 / 23.51 = 1.07 kg
The mass of the body at that instant is 1.07 kg
