Answer:

The speed of light is faster in water. The Refractive index of water is 1.3 and the refractive index of glass is 1.5. From the equation n = c/v, we know that the refractive index of a medium is inversely proportional to the velocity of light in that medium. Hence, light travels faster in water.

Answer:

2.31*10^{8} m/s

Explanation:

Employ the formula attached below,

n = c/v

1.3 = (3.0*10^8)/ x

(solve for x)

x= (3.0*10^8) / 1.3

x= 2.31*10^{8} m/s

A dog is running at 15 m/s and then slows down to 10 m/s. It takes him two seconds to do this. What is the dog's acceleration
OLga [1]

Explanation:

a = (Vf-Vi)/t

= (10m/s - 15m/s)/2s

a = -5 / 2 m/s^2

• so the dog diaccelerate at the rate of 5/2 m/s^2

hope it helps

Communicating results allows scientists to learn from each other's results.
sveta [45]

True, scientists often talk to each other to figure out if their results were similar and what they could have done better.

Although, talking to other scientists does have risks, other scientists could copy your work and further better it.

So, your final answer is TRUE, sorry for the long answer, I needed to have a word count about 20 characters and then I got carried away! lol

A 100 Kg man is diving off a 50 meter cliff. What is his kinetic energy when he is 20 meters from the water?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

K.E=29.403125J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass M=100

Height 50-20=30m

Generally the equation for velocity before impact is is is mathematically given by

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2*9.8*30}

v=24.25

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is is mathematically given by

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E=\frac{1}{2}*100*(24.25)^2\\

K.E=29403.125J

K.E=29.403125J

Two cars collide at an intersection. One car has a mass of 1600 kg and is
pickupchik [31]

The combined momentum is 4000 kg m/s south

Explanation:

The total combined momentum of the two cars is given by the vector addition of the momenta of the two cars.

For this problem, we choose north as positive direction and south as negative direction.

The momentum of the first car travelling north is given by:

p_1 = m_1 v_1

where

m_1 = 1600 kg is the mass of the car

v_1 = +8 m/s is its velocity

Substituting,

p_1 = (1600)(8)=+12800 kg m/s

The momentum of the second car travelling south is given by:

p_2 = m_2 v_2

where

m_2 = 1400 kg is the mass of the car

v_2= -12 m/s is its velocity (negative because the car travels south)

Substituting,

p_2 = (1400)(-12)=-16800 kg m/s

And therefore, the combined momentum is

p=p_1 + p_2 = +12800 + (-16800)=-4000 kg m/s

where the negative sign means the direction of the total momentum is south.
