Answer:

i) FALSE,  ii) TRUE,  iii) FALSE, iv)  FALSE

Explanation:

When light (electromagnetic radiation) travels through a material medium, its speed is less than the speed of light in a vacuum. If we define the index of parts

           n = c / v

where v is the speed of light in the material medium.

The direction of the ray can be determined by the law of refraction

          n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

Let's apply these equations to our case where

          nₓ <n_y

i) The expression of the refractive index

          nₓ < n_y

         \frac{c}{v_x} = \frac{c}{n_y}

         v_y <vₓ

therefore the expression is FALSE

ii) If we use the law of refraction, the light, when passing from a medium with a lower start to another with a higher index, must approach the normal one, away from what would be the continuation of the path of the incident ray

so the expression is TRUE

iii) The speed of light is constant in all material media

the statement is FALSE

iv) light approaches normal

Let me clarify that the normal is a line perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact, not the direction of Io.

 the statement of FALSE

Consider four point charges arranged in a square with sides of length L. Three of the point charges have charge q and one of the
nydimaria [60]

Answer:F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]

Explanation:

Given

Three charges of magnitude q is placed at three corners and fourth charge is placed at last corner with -q charge

Force due to the charge placed at diagonally opposite end on -q charge

F_1=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L\sqrt{2})^2}

where  L\sqrt{2}=Distance between the two charges

F_1=-\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}

negative sign indicates that it is an attraction force

Now remaining two charges will apply the same amount of force as they are equally spaced from -q charge

F_2=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L)^2}

The magnitude of force by both the  charge is same but at an angle of 90^{\circ}

thus combination of two forces at 2 and 3 will be

F'=\sqrt{2}\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}

Now it will add with force due to 1 charge

Thus net force will be

F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]

A 0.49-kg cord is stretched between two supports,7.3m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels d
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

T= 5.18N

Explanation:

u = mass of chord / length of chord

u = 0.49/ 7.3

u = 0.067 kg/m

Velocity of sound waves (v) =length of chord / time taken for wave to travel

v = 7.3 / 0.83 = 8.795m/s

Tension is calculated below using the formula

T = v² * u

T = (8.795)² x 0.067

T= 5.18N

Provided following are four different ranges of stellar masses. Rank the stellar mass ranges based on how many stars in each ran
elena-s [515]

Highest to lowest number:

-less than 1 solar mass

-between 1 and 10 solar masses

-between 10 and 30 solar masses

-between 30 and 60 solar masses

<h3>What is Stellar masses ?</h3>

Stellar mass is a phrase that is used by astronomers to describe the mass of a star.

  • It is usually enumerated in terms of the Sun's mass as a proportion of a solar mass ( M ☉). Hence, the bright star Sirius has around 2.02 M ☉.

  • Stellar masses are not fixed, although they change for single stars only on long periods.

1. A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his<br>acceleration?​
Lapatulllka [165]

The cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration exerted by an object is the measure of change in speed or velocity of that object with respect to time. So the initial and final velocities play a major role in determining the acceleration of the cyclist. As here the initial velocity of the cyclist is the speed at rest and that is given as 0 m/s. Then after 3 seconds, the velocity of the cyclist changes to 9 m/s.

Then acceleration = change in velocity/Time.

Acceleration = \frac{Change in velocity}{Time taken}

Acceleration = (9-0)/3=9/3=3 m/s².

So the cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².
