Answer:

The correct option is;

The index of refraction of the second medium is lower

Explanation:

The index of refraction of a material indicates the magnitude of the optical density of a material. The index of refraction or the refractive index, n, are indices (ratio) of the speed of light through an optically dense medium relative to the speed of light through a vacuum.

The definition of the refractive index is the number of times light travelling through a medium would be slower than light travelling through vacuum

Therefore, the index of refraction of a second medium that is less optically dense than a first medium from which light originates and travels through it would be lower than the index of refraction of the first medium

what is change in internal energy if 30j of heat are released from a system that does 50j of work on its surroundings
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

-80 J

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that:

\Delta U = Q - W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system

W is the work done by the system

In this problem, we have:

Q = -30 J is the heat released by the system (negative because the system releases it)

W = +50 J is the work done by the system on the surrounding (positive since it is done by the system)

Therefore, the change in internal energy is

\Delta U = -30 J - (+50 J) = -80 J

A big olive (* - 0.50 kg) lies at the origin of an xy coordinate system, and a big BrazlI nut (M - 1.5^kg) lie^s at the point (1
Afina-wow [57]

The <em>estimated</em> displacement of the center of mass of the olive is \overrightarrow{\Delta r} = -0.046\,\hat{i} -0.267\,\hat{j}\,[m].

<h3>Procedure - Estimation of the displacement of the center of mass of the olive</h3>

In this question we should apply the definition of center of mass and difference between the coordinates for <em>dynamic</em> (\vec r) and <em>static</em> conditions (\vec r_{o}) to estimate the displacement of the center of mass of the olive (\overrightarrow{\Delta r}):

\vec r - \vec r_{o} = \left[\frac{\Sigma\limits_{i=1}^{2}r_{i,x}\cdot(m_{i}\cdot g + F_{i, x})}{\Sigma \limits_{i =1}^{2}(F_{i,x}+m_{i}\cdot g)} ,\frac{\Sigma\limits_{i=1}^{2}r_{i,y}\cdot(m_{i}\cdot g + F_{i, y})}{\Sigma \limits_{i =1}^{2}(F_{i,y}+m_{i}\cdot g)} \right]-\left(\frac{\Sigma\limits_{i=1}^{2}r_{i,x}\cdot m_{i}\cdot g}{\Sigma \limits_{i= 1}^{2} m_{i}\cdot g}, \frac{\Sigma\limits_{i=1}^{2}r_{i,y}\cdot m_{i}\cdot g}{\Sigma \limits_{i= 1}^{2} m_{i}\cdot g}\right) (1)

Where:

  • r_{i, x} - x-Coordinate of the i-th element of the system, in meters.
  • r_{i,y} - y-Coordinate of the i-th element of the system, in meters.
  • F_{i,x} - x-Component of the net force applied on the i-th element, in newtons.
  • F_{i,y} - y-Component of the net force applied on the i-th element, in newtons.
  • m_{i} - Mass of the i-th element, in kilograms.
  • g - Gravitational acceleration, in meters per square second.

If we know that \vec r_{1} = (0, 0)\,[m], \vec r_{2} = (1, 2)\,[m], \vec F_{1} = (0, 3)\,[N], \vec F_{2} = (-3, -2)\,[N], m_{1} = 0.50\,kg, m_{2}  = 1.50\,kg and g = 9.807\,\frac{kg}{s^{2}}, then the displacement of the center of mass of the olive is:

<h3>Dynamic condition\vec{r} = \left[\frac{(0)\cdot (0.50)\cdot (9.807)+(0)\cdot (0) + (1)\cdot (1.50)\cdot (9.807) + (1)\cdot (-3)}{(0.50)\cdot (9.807) + 0 + (1.50)\cdot (9.807)+(-3)}, \frac{(0)\cdot (0.50)\cdot (9.807) + (0)\cdot (3) + (2)\cdot (1.50)\cdot (9.807) +(2) \cdot (-2)}{(0.50)\cdot (9.807) + (3)+(1.50)\cdot (9.807)+(-2)}  \right]\vec r = (0,704, 1.233)\,[m]</h3>

<h3>Static condition</h3><h3>\vec{r}_{o} = \left[\frac{(0)\cdot (0.50)\cdot (9.807) + (1)\cdot (1.50)\cdot (9.807)}{(0.50)\cdot (9.807) + (1.50)\cdot (9.807)}, \frac{(0)\cdot (0.50)\cdot (9.807) + (2)\cdot (1.50)\cdot (9.807)}{(0.50)\cdot (9.807)+(1.50)\cdot (9.807)}  \right]</h3><h3>\vec r_{o} = \left(0.75, 1.50)\,[m]</h3><h3 /><h3>Displacement of the center of mass of the olive</h3>

\overrightarrow{\Delta r} = \vec r - \vec r_{o}

\overrightarrow{\Delta r} = (0.704-0.75, 1.233-1.50)\,[m]

\overrightarrow{\Delta r} = (-0.046, -0.267)\,[m]

The <em>estimated</em> displacement of the center of mass of the olive is \overrightarrow{\Delta r} = -0.046\,\hat{i} -0.267\,\hat{j}\,[m]. \blacksquare
