Answer:

n = 1.5

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is 300000000 m/s

The speed of light in glass is 200000000 m/s

We need to find the refractive index of the glass.

We know that, the ratio of speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in medium is equal to refractive index of the medium.

$n=\dfrac{300000000 }{200000000 }\\\\=1.5$

So, the refractive index of the glass is 1.5.

Why is cloning done before an investigation begins??

svlad2 [7]

Answer:Purpose of Cloning

A forensic image of a hard drive captures everything on the hard drive, from the physical beginning to the physical end. ... Hard drives are susceptible to failure. Having two clones gives an investigator one to examine and one to fall back on.Therapeutic cloning involves creating a cloned embryo for the sole purpose of producing embryonic stem cells with the same DNA as the donor cell. These stem cells can be used in experiments aimed at understanding disease and developing new treatments for disease.

A certain quantity of steam has a temperature of 100.0 oC. To convert this steam into ice at 0.0 oC, energy in the form of heat

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

2452.79432 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of ice

$L_s$ = Latent heat of steam

$s_w$ = Specific heat of water

$L_i$ = Latent heat of ice

v = Velocity of ice

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature

Amount of heat required for steam

$Q_1=mL_s\\\Rightarrow Q_1=m(2.256\times 10^6)$

Heat released from water at 100 °C

$Q_2=ms_w\Delta T\\\Rightarrow Q_2=m4186\times (100-0)\\\Rightarrow Q_2=m0.4186\times 10^6$

Heat released from water at 0 °C

$Q_3=mL_i\\\Rightarrow Q_3=m(333.5\times 10^3)\\\Rightarrow Q_3=m(0.3335\times 10^6)$

Total heat released is

$Q=Q_1+Q_2+Q_3\\\Rightarrow Q=m(2.256\times 10^6)+m0.4186\times 10^6+m(0.3335\times 10^6)\\\Rightarrow Q=3008100m$

The kinetic energy of the bullet will balance the heat

$K=Q\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv^2=3008100m\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 3008100}\\\Rightarrow v=2452.79432\ m/s$

The velocity of the ice would be 2452.79432 m/s

What is the average power consumption in watts of an appliance that uses 5.00 kWh of energy per day? How many joules of energy d

denpristay [2]

Answer:

(A) power = 0.208 kW = 208 watts

(B) energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules

Explanation:

energy consumed per day = 5 kWh

(a) find the power consumed in a day

1 day = 24 hours

power = \frac{energy}{time}

power = \frac{5}{24}

power = 0.208 kW = 208 watts

(b) find the energy consumed in a year

assuming it is not a leap year and number of days = 365 days

1 year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 31,536,000 seconds

energy = power x time

energy = 208 x 31,536,000

energy = 6.6 x 10^{9} joules

A forest ranger might be ranked as being high in what type of intelligence?

Drupady [299]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>A forest ranger might be ranked as being high in </u><u>Naturalistic</u><u> intelligence.</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Naturalistic intelligence is the type of intelligence that relates the activities of people that how sensitive an individual is to nature and the world. Zookeepers, biologists, gardeners, and veterinarians are among those people who have a higher capability of having high naturalist intelligence. Similarly a ranger who is fighting in forests must also be kept in the same category and he might be ranked as being high in the field of Naturalistic Intelligence.
