Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass = 50 kg

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Height (h) = 10 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Final velocity (v) =?

The velocity (v) with which the person hit the water can be obtained as shown below:

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 10)

v² = 0 + 196

v² = 196

Take the square root of both side

v = √196

v = 14 m/s

Therefore, he will hit the water with a speed of 14 m/s

The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum. Find the refractive index of the medium.
grin007 [14]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The refractive index is 1.66

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum .

Refractive index of medium = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium  

So

RI = 1/0.6 = 5/3 or 1.66
