What is the index of refraction of a material in which the speed of light is 7.50% slower than the speed of light in vacuum?

Physics

Answer:

The value is n = 1.081

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed of in a vacuum is c = 3.0 *10^{8} \  m/s

    The speed of light in the material is  v  =  c -0.075c = 0.925 c =  0.925 * 3.0*10^{8}  = 2.775 *10^{8} \ m/s

   Generally the reflection of the material is mathematically represented as

             n = \frac{c}{v}

=>    n = \frac{3.0*10^{8}}{2.775 *10^{8}}

=>    n = 1.081

A tugboat tows a ship with a constant force of magnitude F1. The increase in the ship's speed during a 10 s interval is 5.0 km/h
Ratling [72]

Answer

given,

time  = 10 s

ship's speed = 5 Km/h

F = m a

a is the acceleration and m is mass.

In the first case

F₁=m x a₁

where a₁ =  difference in velocity / time

F₁ is constant acceleration is also a constant.

Δv₁ = 5 x 0.278

Δv₁ = 1.39 m/s

a_1=\dfrac{1.39}{10}

a₁ = 0.139 m/s²

F₂ =m x a₂

F₃ = F₂ + F₁

Δv₃ = 19 x 0.278

Δv₃ = 5.282 m/s

a₃=Δv₂ / t

a_3=\dfrac{5.282}{10}

a₃ = 0.5282 m²/s

m a₃=m a₁ + m a₂

a₃ = a₂ + a₁

0.5282 = a₂ + 0.139

a₂=0.3892 m²/s

F₂ = m x 0.3892...........(1)

F₁ = m x 0.139...............(2)

F₂/F₁

ratio = \dfrac{0.3892}{0.139}

ratio = 2.8

The correct option is A. the isobaric process represented by the PV diagram

<h3>What is  isobaric process?</h3>
  • An Isobaric method is a thermodynamic revolution taking place at consistent pressure. The period isobaric has been derived from the Greek words “iso” and “baros” indicating equal intimidation.
  • As such, the continued pressure is obtained when the importance is expanded or acquired. This basically neutralizes any pressure change due to the transfer of heat.
  • In an isobaric procedure, when the heat is transferred to the system some work is done. Nevertheless, there is even a change in the internal energy of the system.
  • This additionally means that no amounts as in the first law of thermodynamics evolve zero.

Why don't atoms get too close?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

<h3>This tends not to happen, because atoms are composed of charged particles that interact at a distance. ... Since the electrons are around the outside of the atom, those are the things that first interact, and as they have the same charge, they repel one another.</h3>

A. The electrons from atom repel each other
