Answer:

By measuring the speed of light in both in space and that unknown substance

Explanation:

Refractive Index (Index of Refraction) is a value calculated from the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to that in a second medium of greater density.

By measuring the speed of light in that medium and dividing it by speed of light 3*10^8 we can measure the refractive index of any medium

A solid cylinder with a mass of 2.72 kg and a radius of 0.083 m starts from rest at a height of 4.20 m and rolls down a 88.7 ◦ s
Bingel [31]

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy ,    

             Potential energy = kinetic energy

   mgh = \frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2} + \frac{1}{2} \times I \times \omega^{2}

                  I = \frac{mr^{2}}{2}

          \omega = \frac{v}{r}

     mgh = [\frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2}] + [\frac{1}{2} \times (\frac{mr^{2}}{2}) \frac{v^{2}}{r^{2}}]

     mgh = [\frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2}] + [\frac{1}{4} \times mv^{2}]

             g \times h = \frac{3}{4} \times v^{2}

             9.8 \times 4.2 = \frac{3}{4} \times v^{2}

                  v = 7.4 m/s

thus, we can conclude that the translational speed of the cylinder when it leaves the incline is 7.4 m/s.

(PLEASE HELP THANK YOU) A car is going 8 meters per second on an access road into a highway and then accelerates at 1.8 meters p
jonny [76]

Answer:

20.96 m/s

Explanation:

Apply the kinematic equation:

Vf=Vi+at

Vi=8m/s

a=1.8m/s^2

t=7.2s

Putting this all in should give you your answer of 12.96m/s

A stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. What is the spe
KIM [24]

Answer: V = 15 m/s

Explanation:

As  stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. The observed frequency the car will be experiencing will be addition of the two frequency. That is,

F = 2.1 × 10^10 + 1030 = 2.100000103×10^10Hz

Using doppler effect formula

F = C/ ( C - V) × f

Where

F = observed frequency

f = source frequency

C = speed of light = 3×10^8

V = speed of the car

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

2.100000103×10^10 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 -V) × 2.1×10^10

2.100000103×10^10/2.1×10^10 = 3×108/(3×10^8 - V)

1.000000049 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 - V)

Cross multiply

300000014.7 - 1.000000049V = 3×10^8

Collect the like terms

1.000000049V = 14.71429

Make V the subject of formula

V = 14.71429/1.000000049

V = 14.7 m/s

The speed of the car is 15 m/s approximately.
