Answer:

The speed of light in the medium is \dfrac{2c}{3}

(c) correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of light in vacuum = c

Refraction index = 1.5

We need to calculate the value of speed of light in the medium

The refractive index is equal to the speed of light in vacuum divide by the speed of light in medium.

Using formula of refractive index

\mu = \dfrac{c}{v}

v=\dfrac{c}{\mu}

Where, c = speed of light in vacuum

v = speed of light in medium

Put the value into the formula

v=\dfrac{c}{1.5}

v=\dfrac{2c}{3}

Hence, The speed of light in the medium is \dfrac{2c}{3}

(1) A net force of 265 N accelerates a bike and rider at 2.30 m/s. What is the mass of the
kati45 [8]

Answer: 115.2kg

Explanation:

Net force = 265 N

Acceleration of bike & rider = 2.30m/s2 (The SI unit of acceleration is m/s2)

Mass of the bike and rider together = ?

Since force is the product of the mass of an object and the acceleration by which it moves, Force = Mass x Acceleration

265N = Mass x 2.30m/s2

Mass = (265N/2.30m/s2)

Mass = 115.2 kg

Thus, the Mass of the bike and rider together is 115.2kg

F F= {mango, apple, banana, orange)​
Stels [109]

Answer:

<h3>n(F) = 4</h3>

Explanation:

Cardinality of a set is the number of elements in that set. Given the set.

F= {mango, apple, banana, orange)​, we are to determine the cardinality of the set i.e the amount of fruit present in the set. Cardinality of the set F is represented as n(F).

Since there are 4 different fruit in the given set F, hence the cardinality of the set F is n(F) = 4

A city planner needs to make a model of the city. In real life, the tallest tree in the city is 40 feet tall. The shortest tree
Verdich [7]
To solve this you must set up what is called a proportion.  A proportion is a way of comparing two comparing values where one of the four values is missing.  In your problem the missing value is the height of the smallest tree in the model.

To set up a proportion, you need all of your values.  The easiest way to do this is to list them:

Highest tree in real life:  40ft
Highest tree in model:  10ft
Smallest tree in real life:  4ft
Smallest tree in model:  x

So know you can set your proportion like this:

40/4 = 4/x

(When setting up a proportion, you always want to have the values belong to each other.  For example don't put the height of the small tree in the model underneath the value of the highest tree in real life.)

So know to find what the x values equals, we need to cross multiply.  And then all that's left after that is to solve for x.

40 times x = 4 times 4

40x = 16

x = 2.5

The smallest tree in the model should equal 2.5 feet.

Hope this helps! :)

5. What is the velocity of a Nolan Catholic football player if he runs 200.0 m in 24.0 s?
Degger [83]

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed {\sf{8.33 \: m \:/s \: }}}}}

Explanation:

Distance travelled = 200 metre

Time taken = 24 second

Velocity = ?

<u>Finding </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>velocity</u><u> </u>

\boxed{ \sf{velocity =  \frac{distance \: travelled \: }{time \: taken}}}

\dashrightarrow{ \sf{velocity =  \frac{200 \: m}{24 \: s} }}

\dashrightarrow{ \sf{velocity = 8.33 \: m/s}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!

Ted Clubber Lang. A hook in boxing primarily involves horizontal flexion of the shoulder while maintaining a constant angle at t
il63 [147K]

Answer:

15 m/s or 1500 cm/s

Explanation:

Given that

Speed of the shoulder, v(h) = 75 cm/s = 0.75 m/s

Distance moved during the hook, d(h) = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Distance moved by the fist, d(f) = 100 cm = 1 m

Average speed of the fist during the hook, v(f) = ? cm/s = m/s

This can be solved by a very simple relation.

d(f) / d(h) = v(f) / v(h)

v(f) = [d(f) * v(h)] / d(h)

v(f) = (1 * 0.75) / 0.05

v(f) = 0.75 / 0.05

v(f) = 15 m/s

Therefore, the average speed of the fist during the hook is 15 m/s or 1500 cm/s
