Answer:

n = 1.6

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the absolute index of refraction is given as follows:

n = \frac{c}{v}

where,

n = index of refraction

c = speed of light in vacuum = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

v = speed of light in the piece of plastic = 1.87 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

n = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{1.87\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}

<u>n = 1.6</u>

The lowest point in Death Valley is 85 m below sea level. The summit of nearby Mt. Whitney has an elevation of 4420 m.What is th
mario62 [17]

Answer:

\Delta E=2.87\times 10^6\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Depth of Death valley is 85 m below sea level, h_i=-85\ m

The summit of nearby Mt. Whitney has an elevation of 4420 m, h_f=4420\ m

Mass of the hiker, m = 65 kg

We need to find the change in potential energy. It is given by :

\Delta E=mg(h_f-h_i)

\Delta E=65\times 9.8(4420-(-85))

\Delta E=2869685\ J

or

\Delta E=2.87\times 10^6\ J

So, the change in potential energy of the hiker is 2.87\times 10^6\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

4.00 kg glass coffee cup is 30.0°C at room temperature. It is then plunged into hot dishwater at a temperature of 90.0°C, as sho
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Q = 200800 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 4kg

Initial temperature = 30.0°C

Final temperature = 90.0°C

Specific heat capacity of glass = 837 J/kg°C

To find the quantity of heat absorbed;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 90 - 30

dt = 60°C

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

Q = 4*837*60

Q = 200800 Joules.

Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed is 200800 Joules.
