Answer:

η₁ = 2.6

Explanation:

Here, we will use snell's law to calculate the refractive of the substance:

\frac{\eta_2}{\eta_1} = \frac{Sin\theta_1}{Sin\theta_2}

where,

η₁ = refractive index of first substance = ?

η₂ = refractive index of second substance = 1.5

θ₁ = angle of incidence = 30°

θ₂ = angle of refraction = 60°

Therefore,

\frac{1.5}{\eta_1} = \frac{Sin\ 30^0}{Sin\ 60^0}

<u>η₁ = 2.6</u>

How does the work required to accelerate a particle from 10 m/s to 20 m/s compare to that required to accelerate it from 20 m/s
poizon [28]

To solve this problem we will apply the energy conservation theorem for which the work applied on a body must be equivalent to the kinetic energy of this (or vice versa) therefore

W = \Delta KE

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(v_f)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(v_i)^2

Here,

m = mass

v_{f,i} = Velocity (Final and initial)

First case) When the particle goes from 10m/s to 20m/s

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(v_f)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(v_i)^2

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(20)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(10)^2

W_1 = 150(m) J

Second case) When the particle goes from 20m/s to 30m/s

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(v_f)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(v_i)^2

\Delta W = \frac{1}{2} (m)(30)^2 -\frac{1}{2} (m)(20)^2

W_1 = 250(m) J

As the mass of the particle is the same, we conclude that more energy is required in the second case than in the first, therefore the correct answer is A.

Jupiter is 5.2 times farther from the sun than Earth is. Find Jupiter’s orbital period in Earth years
anzhelika [568]
You can solve this using Kepler's 3rd law. T is proportional to r^1.5. T(J) = T(E)*5.2^1.5 = 11.86 years. 
<span>You can also solve it the hard way: Find M (sun's mass) and r(Jupiter's orbital radius) in m. Then use Kepler's equation T = 2pi*r^1.5/sqrt(GM).</span>
