Answer: 14500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the mobile phone before the GST was added be represented by x.

Therefore,

x + (12% × x) = 16240

x + 0.12x = 16240

1.12x = 16240

x = 16240/1.12

x = 14500

The price of the mobile phone before the GST was added was 14500

1. The function of lenses is based on the law of refraction. A light beam is traveling from the medium 1 where its speed is V1,

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The index of refraction for Medium 2 would be 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data:

Speed of light in Medium 1 = V₁

Speed of light in Medium 2 = V₂

The speed of Light in Medium 2 is related to speed of light in Medium 1 as:

V₂ = 0.8 V₁

Moreover, it is given that Medium 1 is air with index of refraction equal to 1. i.e.

n₁ = 1

We need to find the index of refraction for medium 2. Lets name it is as n₂.

Snell's law related the above mentioned 4 quantities by following relation:

The ratio of indices of refraction of 2 mediums is equivalent to the reciprocal of ratio of phase velocities in those 2 mediums. Mathematically, this can be written as:

$\frac{n_{1}}{n_{2}} = \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}$

Substituting the values we have gives us:

$\frac{1}{n_{2}}=\frac{0.8V_{1}}{V_{1}} \\\\\frac{1}{n_{2}}=0.8\\\\ 1=0.8n_{2}\\\\\frac{1}{0.8}=n_{2}\\\\ n_{2}=1.25$

This means, the index of refraction for Medium 2 would be 1.25

What would x be in the image above?

Kryger [21]

Answer:

x= -7

Step-by-step explanation:

the labeled angles are alternate-interior angles which are congruent

we can solve for 'x' by creating this equation:

x+139 = 132

x = -7

It takes a train 60 seconds to completely drive through a bridge of 1260 m, and 90 seconds to completely drive through a tunnel

Olegator [25]

The length of train is 120 meters

The speed of train is 25 meter per second

Solution:

The speed is given by formula:

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

Given that,

It takes a train 60 seconds to completely drive through a bridge of 1260 m

And 90 seconds to completely drive through a tunnel of 2010 m

Let the length of the train be "x"

The total distance travelled by the train across the bridge is given by:

total distance = x + 1260 + x = 2x + 1260

[ here we use x + x to represent that train completely drives through bridge ]

The time taken is given as 60 seconds

Therefore, the speed is given as:

$speed = \frac{2x+ 1260}{60}$

The total distance travelled by the train through the tunnel is given by:

total distance = x + 2010 + x = 2x + 2010

The time taken is given as 90 seconds

Therefore, the speed is given as:

$speed = \frac{2x+ 2010}{90}$

The speed of the train was the same in both cases.

Equate both speeds

$\frac{2x+ 1260}{60} = \frac{2x+ 2010}{90}$

$\frac{x+630}{30} = \frac{x+1005}{45}$

$45(x+630) = 30(x+1005)\\\\45x + 28350 = 30x + 30150\\\\45x - 30x = 30150 - 28350\\\\15x = 1800\\\\x = 120$

Thus length of train is 120 meters

Find the speed of train:

$speed = \frac{2x+ 1260}{60}\\\\speed = \frac{2(120) + 1260)}{60}\\\\speed = 25$

Thus speed of train is 25 meter per second
