Sarah and Maisie are analysing data from their school sports day. Looking at the 1500 m results for Stephen, Maisie believes tha

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Sarah is right

Explanation:

This is an exercise that differentiates between scalars and vectors.

A scalar is a number, instead a vector is a number that represents the module in addition to direction and sense.

In this case, the distance (scalar) traveled is a number, which is why it is worth 1500m, but the displacement is a vector and since the point where it leaves is the same point where the vector's modulus arrives is zero, so the DISPLACEMENT VECTOR is zero

consequently Sarah is right

Find the speed of light in each of the following materials. (a) gallium phosphide m/s (b) carbon disulfide m/s (c) benzene

Oksanka [162]

Explanation:

We need to calculate the speed of light in each materials

(I). Gallium phosphide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 3.50

Using formula of speed of light

$v=\dfrac{c}{\mu}$ ....(I)

Where, $\mu$ = index of refraction

c = speed of light

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{3.50}$

$v=8.6\times10^{7}\ m/s$

(II) Carbon disulfide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.63

Put the value in the equation (I)

$v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.63}$

$v=1.8\times10^{8}\ m/s$

(III). Benzene,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.50

Put the value in the equation (I)

$v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.50}$

$v=2\times10^{8}\ m/s$

Hence, This is the required solution.

Listed following are three possible models for the long-term expansion (and possible contraction) of the universe in the absence

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

1. Recollapsing universe

2. Critical universe

3. Coasting universe

Explanation:

Recollapsing universe has dark matter density greater than critical density. While critical universe has its matter density equal to the critical sensity. Coasting universe on the other hand has much smaller matter density compared to critical density.

Note that the critical density is approximately 10^-20 grams/cm3

A ship maneuvers to within 2.46×10³ m of an island’s 1.80 × 10³ m high mountain peak and fires a projectile at an enemy ship 6.1

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The distance close to the peak is 597.4 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance of the first ship from the mountain $d=2.46\times10^{3}\ m$
