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 wave of infrared light has a speed of 6 m/s and a wavelength of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?
givi [52]
I'll be happy to solve the problem using the information that
you gave in the question, but I have to tell you that this wave
is not infrared light.

If it was a wave of infrared, then its speed would be close
to 300,000,000 m/s, not 6 m/s, and its wavelength would be
less than 0.001 meter, not 12 meters.

For the wave you described . . .

             Frequency  =  (speed)  /  (wavelength)

                                 =  (6 m/s)  /  (12 m)

                                 =      0.5 / sec

                                 =      0.5 Hz .  

(If it were an infrared wave, then its frequency would be
greater than 300,000,000,000 Hz.)

Two balls are rolling using the same force. Which law explains why the bowling ball will roll a shorter distance than a soccer b
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

newton's 2nd  law

Explanation:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

Determine the acceleration that result when a 12-N net force is applied to a 3-kg object and then to a 6-kg object
user100 [1]

For 3 kg mass: <em>F = \lpha ma,a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{12N}{3kg} = 4\lpha m / s^{2}</em>

For 6 kg mass: <em>F = \lpha ma,a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{12N}{6kg} = 2\lpha m / s^{2}</em>


Hope this helped, have a great day!~

Paco pulls a 67 kg crate with 738 N and of force across a frictionless floor 9.0 M how much work does he do in moving the crate
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

W = 6642 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a crate, m = 67 kg

Force with which the crate is pulled, F = 738 N

It is moved 9 m across a frictionless floor

We need to find the work done in moving the crate. Let the work done is W. It is given by :

W = F d

W = 738 N × 9 m

= 6642 J

So, the work done is 6642 J.

A 3-kW resistance heater in a water heater runs for 3 hours to raise the water temperature to the desired level. Determine the a
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Energy, 9 kWh or 32400 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

The power of heater, P = 3 kW

It runs for 3 hours to raise the water temperature to the desired level. We need to find the amount of electric energy used. We know that the electrical power of an object is given by total energy delivered per unit time. It is given by :

P=\dfrac{E}{t}

E=P\times t

E=3\ kW\times 3\ h

E = 9 kWh

Since, 1 kWh = 3600 kJ

E = 32400 kJ

So, the amount of electric energy used is 9 kWh or 32400 kJ. Hence, this is the required solution.
