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 fast teaub abd a ski train driving from city a and city b face to face the fast train has a speed of 76km/h, the slow train ha
LekaFEV [45]

The distance between the two cities is 513.24 km.

<h3>Time of motion when the two trains meet</h3>

The time spent on the journey when the two trains meet is calculated as follows;

(Va - Vb)t = d

where;

  • d is the distance between the trains before meeting

(76 - 65)t = 40

11t = 40

t = 40/11

t = 3.64 hr

<h3>Distance traveled by the fast train</h3>

d1 = 76 km/h x 3.64 h

d1 = 276.64 km

<h3>Distance traveled by the slow train</h3>

d2 = 65 km/h x 3.64 h

d2 = 236.6 km

The distance between the two cities = 276.64 km + 236.6 km

                                                             = 513.24 km

What is the speed of sound in air at 50°F (in ft/s)?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Speed of air = 1106.38 ft/s

Explanation:

Speed of sound in air with temperature

v_{air}=331.3\sqrt{1+\frac{T}{273.15}} \\

Here speed is in m/s and T is in celcius scale.

T = 50°F

T=(50-32)\times \frac{5}{9}=10^0C \\

Substituting

v_{air}=331.3\sqrt{1+\frac{10}{273.15}}=337.31m/s \\

Now we need to convert m/s in to ft/s.

1 m = 3.28 ft

Substituting

v_{air}=337.31\times 3.28=1106.38ft/s \\

Speed of air = 1106.38 ft/s

How do the amplitudes of a 120 decibel sound and a 100-decibel sound compare?​
NemiM [27]
The 120 decibel sound has more amplitude than the 100 decibel sound.

In Physics, the relation between amplitude and intensity is that the intensity of the wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.

What is the SI unit for intensity?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The SI unit of intensity is the watt per square meter/metre (W/m^2.)

Explanation:

Intensity is equal to the power transferred per unit area. Since power is measured in watts (W) and 1 W = 1 J/s, then intensity can be viewed as how fast energy goes through a certain area.

In physics, intensity is often used when studying light, sound, or other phenomena that involve waves or energy transfer. (With waves, the power value is taken as the average power transfer over the wave's period.)
