Answer:D.Refractive Indez

Explanation:

It is usually expressed the other way: the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium. In that case, it is called the "index of refraction".

You're going for "refractive index", but you've got the ratio flipped over.

A sports car is advertised to be able to stop in a distance of 50.0 m from a speed of 80 km. What is its acceleration and how ma

Flauer [41]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the sports car, u = 80 km/h = 22.22 m/s

Final speed of the runner, v = 0

Distance covered by the sports car, d = 80 km = 80000 m

Let a is the acceleration of the sports car. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2ad$

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}$

$a=\dfrac{0-(22.22)^2}{2\times 80000}$

$a=-0.00308\ m/s^2$

Value of g, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

$a=\dfrac{-0.00308}{9.8}\ m/s^2$

$a=(-0.000314)\ g\ m/s^2$

Hence, this is required solution.

A rod 7.0 m long is pivoted at a point 2.0 m from the left end. A downward force of 50 N acts at the left end, and a downward fo

kicyunya [14]

If the rod is in rotational equilibrium, then the net torques acting on it is zero:

∑ τ = 0

Let's give the system a counterclockwise orientation, so that forces that would cause the rod to rotate counterclockwise act in the positive direction. Compute the magnitudes of each torque:

• at the left end,

τ = + (50 N) (2.0 m) = 100 N•m

• at the right end,

τ = - (200 N) (5.0 m) = - 1000 N•m

• at a point a distance d to the right of the pivot point,

τ = + (300 N) d

Then

∑ τ = 100 N•m - 1000 N•m + (300 N) d = 0

⇒ (300 N) d = 1100 N•m

⇒ d ≈ 3.7 m

if a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 8080 ft/s, its height in feet after tt second is given

yanalaym [24]

The average velocity for the time period beginning when t=1 and lasting

(i) 0.01 seconds = 63.84 ft/s

(ii) 0.001 seconds = 63.984 ft/s

Given that a ball is thrown with an initial velocity = 80 ft/s

Let 'y' be the height in feet after 't' seconds.

Given, $y=80t-16t^2$ gives the height in 't' seconds.

Average velocity = Rate of change of distance

= Change in distance/Change in time.

The initial time can be taken as 0 s.

When t =1 s, y = 80 - 16 = 64 ft

(1) t = 0.01 s

y = 80 x 0.01 - 16 x 0.01 x 0.01 = 0.7984 ft

Average velocity = (64 - 0.7984) / (1 -0.01) = 63.84 ft/s

(2) t = 0.001 s

y = 80 x 0.001 - 16 x 0.001 x 0.001 = 0.079984 ft

Average velocity = (64 - 0.079984) / (1 -0.001) = 63.984 ft/s
