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

What is a result of using a machine?

GenaCL600 [577]

Using a machine can speed up work very quickly as machines are way faster than humans. Machines also do not get exhausted unlike humans so can work over a long period of time non stop.

A mass is attached to an ideal spring. At time t = 0 the spring is at its natural length and the mass is given an initial veloci

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

t = T/4

Explanation:

The power delivered to the mass by the spring is work done by the spring per second.

$P = \frac{dW}{dt}$

The work done by the spring is equal to the elastic potential energy stored in the spring.

$U = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

The maximum energy stored in the spring is at the amplitude of the oscillation.

$U_{max} =\frac{1}{2}kA^2$

So the first time the mass reaches to its amplitude can be found by the following equation of motion:

$x = A\cos(\omega t + \phi)\\\phi = \pi/2 ~because ~at ~t= 0, ~ x = 0\\0 = A\cos(0 + \pi/2)\\x = A\cos(\omega t + \pi/2)$

When the mass reaches the amplitude:

$A = A\cos(\omega t + \pi/2)\\1 = \cos(\omega t + \pi/2)\\\omega t + \pi/2 = \pi$

because cos(π) = 1.

$\omega t = \pi/2$

Using ω = 2π/T,

$\omega t = \pi/2\\\frac{2\pi}{T}t = \pi/2\\t = \frac{T}{4}$

Two carts on an air track have the same mass and speed and are traveling toward each other. If they collide and stick together,

lora16 [44]

Answer:

$p = 0$ , $K_{A} = m\cdot v^{2}$ (before collision), $K_{B} = 0$ (after collision).

Explanation:

The total momentum is obtained using the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

$m\cdot v_{A} - m \cdot v_{A} = 2\cdot v_{B}$

It is trivial to find that final speed and total momentum of the system are zero:

$p = 0$

The total kinetic energy of the system becomes zero due to the inellastic collision and the same masses and speeds. Total kinetic energies before and after collision are, respectively:

$K_{A} = m\cdot v^{2}$

$K_{B} = 0$

How does the mass of the bob affect the number of swings of a pendulum?

gladu [14]

Mass does not affect the pendulum's swing. The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period
