Answer:

n = 1.42

Explanation:

The refractive index for a medium is given by the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a medium.

n=\dfrac{c}{v}\\\\n=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{2.1\times 10^8}\\\\n = 1.42

So, the refractive index of the medium is 1.42.

likoan [24]
If we neglet air resistance for both objects then both will fall parallely(at same time) because time taken by both objects is independent of mass. there is famous experiment i.e"feather coin experiment" . normally we think that heaver objects falls faster but this is wrong concept. it depends on medium in which objects are moving.

A 1.8 kg book has been dropped from the top of the football stadium. Its speed is 4.8 m/s when it is 2.9 meters above the ground
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Answer:

72.936 Joule

Explanation:

Mechanical Energy = Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy

Kinetic Energy = (1/2) x m x V² = (1/2) x 1.8 x 4.8² = 20.736 J

Potential Energy = m x g x h = 1.8 x 10 x 2.9 = 52.2 J

Total Mechanical Energy = 20.736 + 52.2 = 72.936 Joule
