Answer:

η = 1.31

Explanation:

The formula for the refractive index of from air to some other medium is given by the following formula:

\eta = \frac{c}{v}\\

where,

η = refractive index = ?

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

v = speed of light in ice = 2.29 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore, using these values in the equation we get:

\eta = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{2.29\ x\ 10^8\ m/s} \\

<u>η = 1.31</u>

Open the attached file. It shows 2 waves (a blue one and an orange one) that are moving through the same medium at the same time
Taya2010 [7]

The diagram is labelled to DRAW the RESULTANT wave and LABEL the areas of interference with CI, DI and/or points of TDI.

<h3>What is refraction?</h3>

When a light ray falls on the interface of two medium like air and water, then the portion of light is reflected and another portion of the light is refracted into the water medium. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection but the angle of incidence is larger then the angle of refraction.

Open the attached file. It shows 2 waves (a blue one and an orange one) that are moving through the same medium at the same time.

Thus, the diagram is labelled.

A spaceship ferrying workers to moon Base i takes a straight-line pat from the earth to the moon, a distance of 384,000km, Suppo
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

95.78125%

18000 m/s

22233.33 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+20\times 15\times 60\\\Rightarrow v=18000\ m/s

The velocity of the rocket at the end of the first 15 minutes is 18000 m/s which is the maximum speed of the rocket in the complete journey.

Distance traveled while speeding up

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 20\times 900^2\\\Rightarrow s=8100000\ m

Distance traveled while slowing down

s=18000\times 900+\dfrac{1}{2}\times -20\times 900^2\\\Rightarrow s=8100000\ m

Distance traveled during constant speed

384000000-(2\times 8100000)=367800000\ m

Fraction

\dfrac{367800000}{384000000}\times 100=95.78125\ \%

Fraction of the total distance is traveled at constant speed is 95.78125%

Time taken at constant speed

t=\dfrac{367800000}{18000}=20433.33\ s

Total time taken is 900+20433.33+900=22233.33\ s

A ball bearing of radius of 1.5 mm made of iron of density
Serjik [45]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Viscosity \ of \ glycerine \ (\eta) = 14.382 \ poise}

Given:

Radius of ball bearing (r) = 1.5 mm = 0.15 cm

Density of iron (ρ) = 7.85 g/cm³

Density of glycerine (σ) = 1.25 g/cm³

Terminal velocity (v) = 2.25 cm/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 980.6 cm/s²

To Find:

Viscosity of glycerine (\sf \eta)

Explanation:

\boxed{ \bold{v =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {r}^{2} ( \rho -  \sigma)g)}{ \eta} }}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {r}^{2}( \rho -  \sigma)g )}{v}

Substituting values of r, ρ, σ, v & g in the equation:

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{( {(0.15)}^{2}  \times  (7.85 - 1.25) \times 980.6)}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \frac{(0.0225 \times 6.6 \times 980.6)}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \times  \frac{145.6191}{2.25}

\sf \implies \eta =  \frac{2}{9}  \times 64.7196

\sf \implies \eta =  2 \times 7.191

\sf \implies \eta =  14.382 \: poise

What changes might you expect to see in the earth's general circulation if the earth's rotation were in the opposite direction?
Nonamiya [84]
With the earth’s current rotation, the major pressure systems of the general circulation can be correlated with the increase and decrease of air. When there is a considerable amount of air, precipitation will become present on a large scale. When there is less air, then there is an increase in chances of an area becoming dry. According to our textbook, a decrease in air on the eastern margin (west coast) creates a subsidence inversion. This causes dry weather. On the western margin (east coast) the humidity in the air rises, condenses and creates rain fall. So if the earth were to rotate in the opposite direction, we could possibly expect weather on the west coast to produce more rain and the weather on the east coastto become dry.
