Clarify the concept of refrection index with example​

Physics
1 answer:
Degger [83]2 years ago
3 0
The refractive index is used to measure how much light bends as it goes from one medium to another the refractive index of air =1 as light doesn’t bend in it

When looking into a glass of water with a straw the straw may appear bent or morphed as the water has a different refractive index to air (and the light is passing from air to glass of water)

<u>Answer</u>

A. Metals A and metals B



<u>Explanation</u>

Heat transfer takes place whenever there is temperature difference. When two bodies of different temperatures are brought together, heat energy will move from one body to the other until equilibrium temperature is reached.

In our case, heat transfer will take place in all four metals.

Metal A will transfer heat to the water since it's temperature is higher than that of water.

Metal B will also transfer heat to the water since it's temperature is higher than that of water.

Metal C will get heat from the water since it's colder than the water.

Metal D will also get heat from the water since it is colder than water.

Certain rifles can fire a bullet with a speed of 950 m/s just as it leaves the muzzle (this speed is called the muzzle velocity)
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

a) By v^2 = u^2 + 2as => a= 70291.70.

(b)By v = u + at => t= 1.58 ms.

(c)By v^2 = u^2 - 2gh => H = 46045.92 m.

Explanation:

a) By v^2 = u^2 + 2as

(950)^2 = 0 + 2 \times a \times 0.75\\a = 601666.67 m/s^2\\a/g = 688858.70/9.8 = 70291.70

(b)By v = u + at

950 = 0 + 601666.67 \times t\\t = 1.58 x 10^-3 sec = 1.58 ms

(c)By v^2 = u^2 - 2gh

0 = (950)^2 - 2 \times9.8 \times H\\H = 46045.92 m

The components of a 10.8-meters-per-second velocity at an angle of 34.° above the horizontal are
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

6.0 m/s vertical and 9.0 m/s horizontal

Explanation:

For the vertical component, we use the formula:

  • Sin(34°) = <em>y</em> / 10.8

Then we <u>solve for </u><u><em>y</em></u>:

  • 0.559 = <em>y</em> / 10.8
  • <em>y </em>= 6.0

And for the horizontal component, we use the formula:

  • Cos(34°) = <em>x</em> / 10.8

Then we <u>solve for </u><u><em>x</em></u><u>:</u>

  • 0.829 = <em>x</em> / 10.8
  • <em>y </em>= 9.0

So the answer is " 6.0 m/s vertical and 9.0 m/s horizontal".
