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 rifle of mass 2 kg is horizontally suspended by a pair of strings so that recoil can be measured. The rifle fires a bullet of
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: 1m/s

Explanation: according to the law of conservation of linear momentum in an isolated system, the momentum of the gun equals that of the bullet.

Mathematically

Mb×Vb = Mg×Vg

Where Mb = mass of bullet = 1/100 = 0.01 kg

Vb = velocity of bullet = 200 m/s

Mg = mass of gun = 2kg

Vg = recoil velocity of gun =?

0.01×200 = 2×Vg

Vg = 0.01×200/2

Vg = 0.01×100

Vg = 1m/s

A basketball is shot from 2 meters up at an angle of 60° above the x axis at an initial velocity of 9 m/s. What is the maximum h
Nikitich [7]

Hope this helps a little

initial distance up = 2

initial velocity component up = 9 sin 60 = 7.79

v = 9 sin 60 - 9.8 t

when v = 0, we are there

9.8 t = 7.79

t = .795 seconds to top

h = 2 + 7.79(.795) - 4.9(.795^2)

Determine the projection (magnitude and sign), or component, of vector v1 along the direction of vector v2. Your answer could be
professor190 [17]

Answer:

- 1.07 ft

Explanation:

V1 = (-5, 7, 2)

V2 = (3, 1, 2)

Projection of v1 along v2, we use the following formula

=\frac{\overrightarrow{V1}.\overrightarrow{V2}}{V2}

So, the dot product of V1 and V2 is = - 5 (3) + 7 (1) + 2 (2) = -15 + 7 + 4 = -4

The magnitude of vector V2 is given by

= \sqrt{3^{2}+1^{2}+2^{2}}=3.74

So, the projection of V1 along V2 = - 4 / 3.74 = - 1.07 ft

Thus, the projection of V1 along V2 is - 1.07 ft.

so we need to find the direction of v2
