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.

The sun is 60° above the horizon. Rays from the sun strike the still surface of a pond and cast a shadow of a stick that is stuc
Kipish [7]

Answer:

shadow length 7.67 cm

Explanation:

given data:

refractive index of water is 1.33

by snell's law we have

n_{air} sin30 =n_{water} sin\theta

1*0.5 = 1.33*sin\theta

solving for\theta

sin\theta = \frac{3}{8}

\theta = sin^{-1}\frac{3}{8}

\theta =  22 degree

from shadow- stick traingle

tan(90-\theta) = cot\theta = \frac{h}{s}

s = \frac{h}{cot\theta} = h tan\theta

s = 19tan22 = 7.67 cm

s = shadow length

If force remains constant and acceleration decreases what must happen to the mass
blondinia [14]

That can only be happening if the mass mysteriously increased somehow.  I'd like to know how in the world THAT happened.

How does Pascal's principle describe pressure throughout a fluid?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Uniform

Explanation:

The Pascal's principle states that a change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted unchanged to all parts of the fluid and to the container's wall.

This implies that there is no change in magnitude of pressure at every point of the fluid and the walls of the container. Hence you can say that pressure is equal in all directions at any point of the fluid.
