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.

what was the mass of a cannkn ball whose velocity is 200m/s if it were shot from 1000kg that recoils a 2m/s. Solve step by step​
Whitepunk [10]

The famous Newton’s Third Law states that “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.”

By using this,

10grams or 0.01kg of bullet with speed 400 m/sec and 5kg gun recoil with speed suppose ‘v’.

0.01×400=5×v

4/5=v

v=0.8m/sec ANSWER.

A 6.0-v battery maintains the electrical potential difference between two parallel metal plates separated by 1.0 mm. what is the
Gnoma [55]
The voltage<span> difference between the two plates can be expressed in terms of the </span>work<span> done on a positive test charge q when it moves from the positive to the negative plate.</span><span>
E=V/d
where V is the voltage and d is the distance between the plates.
 
So,

E=6.0V/1mm= 6000 V/m. The electric field between the plates is 6000 V/m.</span>

jill's car has a maximum acceleration of 8.7 miles per hour per second. how many seconds does it take her to acceleration from 0
amm1812
T = ?
v1 = 0mph
v2 = 60mph
a = 8.7mph/s

a =  \frac{v2 - v1}{t}&#10; \\ t =  \frac{v2-v1}{a}&#10; \\ t =  \frac{60mph - 0mph}{8.7mph/s}&#10; \\ t = 6.90s

Therefore, it takes 6.90 seconds for Jill to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour.

determine whether the following equations are dimensionally correct if not how can you make them dimensionally correct 1 /2 mv2
serg [7]

Answer:

1 /2 mv^{2} =mgh

Explanation:

The correct equation follows the law of conservation of energy where kinetic energy is all transformed to potential energy, since we know that kinetic energy is expressed as

1 /2 mv^{2} while potential energy is mgh where m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity or speed of the object, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the vertical height. Therefore, relating the two equations we should have 1 /2 mv^{2} =mgh
