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>

A student carried out an experiment adding different weights to a spring and recording the results. Look at the table of results
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

0.25 m.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the spring constant of the spring.

From the diagram, we shall used any of the weight with the corresponding extention to determine the spring constant. This is illustrated below:

Force (F) = 0.1 N

Extention (e) = 0.125 m

Spring constant (K) =?

F = Ke

0.1 = K x 0.125

Divide both side by 0.125

K = 0.1/0.125

K = 0.8 N/m

Therefore, the force constant, K of spring is 0.8 N/m

Now, we can obtain the number in gap 1 in the diagram above as follow:

Force (F) = 0.2 N

Spring constant (K) = 0.8 N/m

Extention (e) =..?

F = Ke

0.2 = 0.8 x e

Divide both side by 0.8

e = 0.2/0.8

e = 0.25 m

Therefore, the number that will complete gap 1is 0.25 m.

Two parallel metal plates are at a distance of 8.00 m apart.The electric field between the plates is uniform directed towards th
yuradex [85]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Formula E=F/C also E=V/d

In this case use the second formula; E=V/d

Data given; E=4N/C d=8m

So v=E X d

     V=4x8=32V

k.e=eV= 2X32=64eV

A wheel in the shape of a flat, heavy, uniform, solid disk is initially at rest at the top of an inclined plane of height 2.00 m
olasank [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

If friction is neglected, the wheel cannot roll and can only slide frictionlessly and will have the same velocity at the bottom of the ramp as if it had been in free fall as it has converted the same amount of potential energy.

mgh = ½mv²

v = √(2gh) = √(2(9.81)(2.00)) = 6.26418... = 6.26 m/s

However if we do not ignore all friction and the wheel rolls without slipping down the slope, the potential energy becomes linear and rotational kinetic energy

mgh = ½mv² + ½Iω²

mgh = ½mv² + ½(½mR²)(v/R)²

2gh = v² + ½v²

2gh = 3v²/2

v = √(4gh/3) =√(4(9.81)(2.00)/3) = 5.11468... = 5.11 m/s
