Answer:

The index of refraction of a diamond is 2.4175

Explanation:

refractive index

n = c/v

n = refractive index

c = speed of light

v = velocity of light thru the material

A record turntable is rotating at 33 1 3 rev/min. a watermelon seed is on the turntable 5.0 cm from the axis of rotation. (a) ca

LenaWriter [7]

Distance D = 5 cm = 0.05m
Revolutions = 33.33 per min => t = 60 sec
Acceleration is v^2 / r, so first we need to find velocity
Velocity = (D x 3.14 x r) / t => (0.05 x 3.14 x 33.33) / 60
Velocity = 0.0872 m/s
Acceleration = v^2 / r = 0.0872^2 / 0.05 = 0.152.

The fact that some asteroids cluster in what are called asteroid families is probably the result of:

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The families are thought to form as a result of collisions between asteroids. In many or most cases the parent body was shattered, but there are also several families which resulted from a large cratering event which did not disrupt the parent body (e.g. the Vesta, Pallas, Hygiea, and Massalia families).

Kyle, a 95.0 kg football player, leaps straight up into the air (with no horizontal velocity) to catch a pass. He catches the 0.

babymother [125]

Answer:

The initial speed of the ball was 26.2 m/s

Explanation:

When the football player is in the air at his maximum height the vertical component of velocity is zero, To obtain the horizontal velocity when the player catches the ball we need to apply the linear momentum conservation theorem:

$m_1*v_{o1}+m_2*v_{o2}=m_t*v_f\\0.430kg*(v)+m_2*(0)=mt*vt$
