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>

The Young’s modulus of nickel is Y = 2 × 1011 N/m2 . Its molar mass is Mmolar = 0.059 kg and its density is rho = 8900 kg/m3 . G
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Atomic Size and Mass:

convert given density to kg/m^3 = 8900kg/m^3 2) convert to moles/m^3 (kg/m^3 * mol/kg) = 150847 mol/m^3 (not rounding in my actual calculations) 3) convert to atoms/m^3 (6.022^23 atoms/mol) = 9.084e28 atoms/m^3 4) take the cube root to get the number of atoms per meter, = 4495309334 atoms/m 5) take the reciprocal to get the diameter of an atom, = 2.2245e-10 m/atom 6) find the mass of one atom (kg/mol * mol/atoms) = 9.7974e-26 kg/atom Young's Modulus: Y=(F/A)/(dL/L) 1) F=mg = (45kg)(9.8N/kg) = 441 N 2) A = (0.0018m)^2 = 3.5344e-6 m^2 3) dL = 0.0016m 4) L = 2.44m 5) Y = 1.834e11 N/m^2 Interatomic Spring Stiffness: Ks,i = dY 1) From above, diameter of one atom = 2.2245e-10 m 2) From above, Y = 1.834e11 N/m^2 3) Ks,i = 40.799 N/m (not rounding in my actual calculations) Speed of Sound: v = ωd 1) ω = √(Ks,i / m,a) 2) From above, Ks,i = 40.799 N/m 3) From above, m,a = 9.7974e-26 kg 4) ω=2.0406e13 N/m*kg 5) From above, d=2.2245e-10 m 6) v=ωd = 4539 m/s (not rounding in actual calculations) Time Elapsed: 1) length sound traveled = L+dL = 2.44166 m 2) From above, speed of sound = 4539 m/s 3) T = (L+dL)/v = 0.000537505 s

Papessa [141]

Answer:

A) 1000 kg

Explanation:

vf = vi + at

0 = 20 + (a)(10)

a = -2.0 m/s^2

F = ma

2000 = (m)(2)

m = 1000 kg

A severe storm has an average peak wave height of 16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. suppose that a storm is in progress wit
Agata [3.3K]

Before we answer this question, let us first understand what alternate hypothesis is.

The alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis which is used in the hypothesis testing and this is opposite to the null hypothesis. This is the test hypothesis which is usually taken to be that the observations are the result of a real effect in an experiment.

In this case since what we want to set up is the statistical test to see if the waves are dying down, then this means we are trying to determine if the wave height are decreasing, so lesser than 16.4 feet. Therefore:

The alternative hypothesis would state                 (ANSWER)

Ha: μ less than 16.4 feet and P-value area is on the left of the mean.

 

While the null hypothesis is the opposite and would state

H0: mu equals 16.4 feet
