Answer: 2.7 x 10^5 joules

Explanation:

Given that:

Time taken = 3 minutes

convert time in minutes to seconds

(Since 1 minute = 60 seconds

3 minutes = 3 x 60 = 180 seconds)

Power of toaster = 1500 watt

Work done by the toaster = ?

Recall that power is the rate of work done per unit time

i.e Power = work/time

work = Power x Time

Work = 1500 watt x 180 seconds

Work = 270000J

Place the result in standard form

270000J = 2.7 x 10^5J

Thus, 2.7 x 10^5 joules of work is done by the toaster.

Two objects, Object A and Object B, need to be identified. Object A's index of refraction is determined to be 1.77, and Object B
Slav-nsk [51]

The correct answer is

C. Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through Object A.

In fact, the index of refraction of a material is defined as:

n=\frac{c}{v}

where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in the material. Rearranging the equation, we can write the speed of light in the material as:

v=\frac{c}{n}

So we that, the smaller the refractive index n, the greater the speed of light in the material, v. In this problem, object B has lower refractive index than object A, so light travels faster in object B.
