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 student notices that an inflated balloon gets larger when it is warmed by a lamp. Which best describes the mass of the balloon
nirvana33 [79]
It gets larger because
well let me give you an example
so today in class we looked at a lava lamp with wax inside and there was a lightbulb at the bottom.
we watched as the wax floated up because the molecules inside the wax spreads out and makes the wax less dense.
the wax floats up because (which is related to the balloon getting bigger) the wax is getting less dense and the particles get bigger which ALSO makes the wax less dense.
hope this helps and hope you can relate it to your problem! say thanks if I did help AT ALL! :)

1. A block is pulled to the right at constant velocity by a 20N force acting at 30o above the horizontal. If the coefficient of
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

44.6 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the block.  There are four forces on the block:

Weight force mg pulling down,

Normal force N pushing up,

Friction force Nμ pushing left,

and applied force F pulling right 30° above horizontal.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N + F sin 30° − mg = 0

N = mg − F sin 30°

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F cos 30° − Nμ = 0

F cos 30° = Nμ

N = F cos 30° / μ

Substitute:

mg − F sin 30° = F cos 30° / μ

mg = F sin 30° + (F cos 30° / μ)

Plug in values:

mg = 20 N sin 30° + (20 N cos 30° / 0.5)

mg = 44.6 N

Early black-and-white television sets used an electron beam to draw a picture on the screen. The electrons in the beam were acce
oee [108]

Answer:

3.25 × 10^7 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the electrons start from rest, their final kinetic energy is equal to the electric potential energy lost while moving through the potential difference (ΔV)

Ek = 1/2 mv2 = qΔV .................. 1

Given that V is the electron speed in m/s

Charge of electron = 1.60217662 × 10-19 coulombs

Mass of electron = 9.109×10−31 kilograms

ΔV = 3.0kV = 3000V

Make V the subject of the formula in eqaution 1

V = sqr root 2qΔV/m

V = 2 × 1.60217662 × 10-19 × 3000 / 9.109×10−31

V = 3.25 × 10^7 m/s
