Answer:

speed

Explanation:

Speed is a description of how fast an object moves; velocity is how fast and in what direction it moves. In physics, velocity is speed in a given direction. When we say a car travels at 60 km/h, we are specifying its speed. When we say a car moves at 60 km/h to the north, we are specifying its velocity.

A narrow beam of white light is incident on a sheet of quartz. Thebeam disperses in the quartz, with red light (λË700nm)traveli
uysha [10]

Answer:

The index of refraction of quartz for violet light is 1.47.

Explanation:

It is given that, a narrow beam of white light is incident on a sheet of quartz.

The beam disperses in the quartz, with red light at an angle, \theta_r=26.3^{\circ} wrt to the normal and violet light traveling at an angle of \theta_v=25.7^{\circ}

The index of refraction of quartz for red light is 1.45.

We need to find the index of refraction of quartz for violet light.

Using Snell's law of red light as follows :

\mu_a\sin\theta_i=\mu_r\sin\theta_r

Here,

\mu_a is the refractive index of air

\theta_i is the angle of incidence

We can find the value of angle of incidence as follows :

\sin\theta_i=\dfrac{\mu_r \sin\theta_r}{\mu_a}\\\\\sin\theta_i=\dfrac{1.45\times  \sin(26.3)}{1}\\\\\theta_i=\sin^{-1}(0.642)\\\\\theta_i=39.79^{\circ}

Now again using Snell's law for violet light as follows :

\mu_a\sin\theta_i=\mu_v\sin\theta_v\\\\\mu_v=\dfrac{\mu_a\sin\theta_i}{\sin\theta_v}\\\\\mu_v=\dfrac{1\times \sin(39.79)}{\sin(25.7)}\\\\\mu_v=1.47

So, the index of refraction of quartz for violet light is 1.47.

Write skeleton equations for the following reaction. Write the correct formula in each blank. You do not need to make the subscr
vlada-n [284]

1. BaCl2+K2SO4⇒BaSO4+KCl

2. Na+FeCl3⇒Fe+NaCl

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Word equation

Required

Skeleton equation

Solution

A chemical reaction can be expressed in terms of:  

  • words equation
  • the skeleton equation  
  • balanced equation

The skeleton equation is still in unbalanced form  

So only chemical formulas of reactants and products and the relative amounts of the reactants and products are not included

For example :

• word equation

Ethane + Oxygen ⇒ Carbon dioxide + Water

• skeleton equation

C₂H₆ + O₂ ⇒ CO₂ + H₂O

• balanced equation

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ ⇒ 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

1.

word equation

barium chloride ____ + potassium sulfate ____ → barium sulfate _____ + potassium chloride _____

skeleton equation

BaCl2+K2SO4⇒BaSO4+KCl

2.

word equation

sodium+iron(III) chloride→iron+sodium chloride

skeleton equation

Na+FeCl3⇒Fe+NaCl

An object with a mass of 375g is moving with a constant velocity. It has a force of -20 N applied to it. Determine the accelerat
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

Convert the mass to kg:

375g = 375/1000kg = 0.375kg

F = ma

-20 = 0.375a

a = -20/0.375

a = -53

The object is accelerating at 53m/s/s backwards assuming that the forward motion is positive.
