Answer:
Under the reasonable assumption that the brick has more mass than the feather, the brick experiences a greater force of air friction.
Explanation:
<u>Objects at terminal velocity</u>, only under the influence of gravity, have maximized their speed and <u>have an acceleration of zero</u>. Thus, neither object is accelerating.
Recall Newton's second law:
Since acceleration for each object is zero, the sum of the force acting on each of those objects must also be zero.
Since the only forces acting on the objects are gravity and the force of air friction, in order to zero out, <u>the force of air friction must be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force of gravity</u>.
Recall that near the surface of the earth, , so <u>the Force of Gravity acting on an object is directly proportional to the object's mass</u>. <em>(A similar argument could be made even if this were not taking place on the surface of the earth, so long as the objects were the same distance from the object providing gravitational influence).</em>
If the masses of the objects are different, <u>the object with the greater mass will experience</u> a larger force of gravity, and hence <u>a larger force of air friction</u> at terminal velocity.
Under the reasonable assumption that the brick has more mass than the feather, the brick experiences a greater force of air friction.
Answer:
The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water
Explanation:
Solution:-
- The index of refraction of light in a medium ( n ) determines the degree of "bending" of light in that medium.
- The index of refraction is material property and proportional to density of the material.
- The denser the material the slower the light will move through associated with considerable diffraction angles.
- The lighter the material the faster the light pass through the material without being diffracted as much.
- So, in the other words index of refraction can be expressed as how fast or slow light passes through a medium.
- The reference of comparison of how fast or slow the light is the value of c = 3.0*10^8 m/s i.e speed of light in vacuum or also assumed to be the case for air.
- so we can mathematically express the index of refraction as a ratio of light speed in the material specified and speed of light.
- The light passes through a liquid with speed v = 2.25*10^8 m/s :
- The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water.
