Which of the following statements correctly describes the index of refraction of a material? Select all that apply.

Physics
1 answer:
mote1985 [20]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Option C and D only

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect  because refractive index of a material is the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a any given medium

Option B is correct as the speed of light in vacuum is always greater than the speed of light in any given medium.

Option C is correct

Option D is incorrect

Option E is incorrect because the denser the medium the more is the refractive index. Water is denser than air, hence it should have more refractive index as compared to that of air.

You jump off a truck and accelerate toward the surface of the Earth. Does the Earth accelerate toward you?
Triss [41]

When we jump from the truck and accelerate towards the earth surface, the earth also accelerates towards us but it's acceleration is very negligible.

To find the answer, we need to know about the acceleration of earth due to the gravitational attraction.

<h3>What's the gravitational force between the earth and a person?</h3>
  • Gravitational attraction force is GMm/r² between the earth and a person.
  • M= mass of the earth

m= mass of the person

r= separation between them.

<h3>What's the acceleration of the earth towards the person when he jumps from a truck?</h3>
  • According to Newton's second law, Force = M×acceleration
  • Acceleration= Force / M
  • Here, Force = GMm/r²,

so acceleration of earth= Gm/r²

  • As this acceleration is very small, so we can't notice it.

Thus, we can conclude that the earth also accelerates towards us.

when an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions , does it behave more like a metal or nonmetal
Juli2301 [7.4K]

It behaves more like a metal

Explanation:

When an element tends to lose its valence electrons in chemical reactions, they behave more like a metal.

Metals are electropositive.

Electropositivity or metallicity is the a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.

This is closely related to ionization energy and the electronegativity of the element.

  • The lower the ionization energy of an element, the more electropositive or metallic the element is .

Metals are usually large size and prefers to be in reactions where they can easily lose their valence electrons.

When most metals lose their valence electrons, they attain stability.

Non-metals are electronegative. They prefer to gain electrons.

Can someone help pleaseeee
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Motion with constant velocity of magnitude 1 m/s (uniform motion) for 4 seconds in a positive direction and then for 2 seconds uniform motion with constant velocity of magnitude 3 m/s in reverse direction .

Explanation:

The graph shows a constant velocity of 1 m/s for 4 seconds in the positive direction. After that, between 4 seconds and 6 seconds, the object reverses its motion with constant velocity of magnitude 3m/s.

What is the electric force acting between two charges of -0.0045 C and -0.0025 C that are 0.0060 m apart? Use Fe=kq1q2/r^2 and k
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

D. 2.8 × 10⁹ N

Explanation:

The force between two charges is directly proportional to the amount of charges at the two points and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the two points.

Fe= k Q₁Q₂/r²

Q₁= -0.0045 C

Q₂= -0.0025 C

r= 0.0060 m

k= 9.00 × 10 ⁹ Nm²/C²

Fe= (9.00 × 10 ⁹ Nm²/C²×-0.0045 C×-0.0025 C)/0.0060²

=2.8 × 10⁹ N
