wolverine [178]3 years ago

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

as a hurricane or tropical storm approaches your location, it's forward speed decreases from 20 kt to 10 kt. How might this affe
zzz [600]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. More total rainfall from a slower moving storm.

When the the forward speed of the hurricanes and tropical storms slows down they tend to increase the rainfall. Because of the slow movement the storm can be for few days over a given region and produce rainfall without stopping, thus create major flooding, pilling up of the coastal water, and produce persistent strong winds even though they have decreased in their forward speed.

The electric field strength in the space between two closely spaced parallel disks is 1.0 10^5 N/C. This field is the result of
alex41 [277]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the capacitance in the disks, the difference of the potential and the load in the disc.

The capacitance can be expressed in terms of the Area, the permeability constant and the diameter:

C = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}

Where,

\epsilon_0 = Permeability constant

A = Cross-sectional Area

d = Diameter

Potential difference between the two disks,

V = Ed

Where,

E = Electric field

d = diameter

Q = Charge on the disk equal to \rightarrow Q=ne=(3.9*10^9)(1.6*10^{-19})= 6.24*10^{-10}C

Through the value found and the expression given for capacitance and potential, we can define the electric charge as

Q = CV

Q = \frac{\epsilon A}{d}(Ed)

Q = \epsilon_0 AE

Q = \epsilon_0 \pi(\frac{d}{2})^2E

Q = \frac{\epsilon \pi d^2E}{4}

Re-arranging the equation to find the diameter of the disks, the equation will be:

d = \sqrt{\frac{4D}{\epsilon_0 \pi E}}

Replacing,

d = \sqrt{\frac{4(6.24*10^{-10})}{(8.85*10^{-12})\pi(1*10^{5})}}

d = 0.0299m

Therefore the diameter of the disks is 0.03m

the pygmy shrew has an average mass of 2.0 g if 49 of these shrew are placed on a spring scale with a spring constant of 24 N/m
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Spring's displacement, x = -0.04 meters.

Explanation:

Let the spring's displacement be x.

Given the following data;

Mass of each shrew, m = 2.0 g to kilograms = 2/1000 = 0.002 kg

Number of shrews, n = 49

Spring constant, k = 24 N/m

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8 m/s².

To find the spring's displacement;

At equilibrium position:

Fnet = Felastic + Fg = 0

But, Felastic = -kx

Total mass, Mt = nm

Fg = -Mt = -nmg

-kx -nmg = 0

Rearranging, we have;

kx = -nmg

Making x the subject of formula, we have;

x = \frac {-nmg}{k}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

x = \frac {-49*0.002*9.8}{24}

x = \frac {-0.9604}{24}

x = -0.04 m

Therefore, the spring's displacement is -0.04 meters.

Three resistors of resistances, R1=10Ω, R2=5Ω, R3=20Ω are connected in a circuit in such way that same amount of current flows t
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer

Explanation:

As the three resistors are connected in series, the expression to be used for the  

calculation of RT equivalent resistance

is:  

RT = R1 + R2 + R3

We replace the data of the statement in the previous expression and it remains:  

5 10 15 RT + R1 + R2 + R3 + +

We perform the mathematical operations that lead us to the result we are looking for:  

RT - 30Ω
