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

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

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

=> $n = 1.081$

An astronaut finds herself in a predicament in which she has become untethered from her shuttle. She figures that she could get

Blizzard [7]

In order to solve the problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum, especially when there is an impact or the throwing of an object.

The equation that defines the linear moment is given by

$mV_i = (m-m_O)V_f - m_OV_O$

where,

m=Total mass

$m_O =$ Mass of Object

$V_i =$ Velocity before throwing

$V_f =$ Final Velocity

$V_O =$ Velocity of Object

Our values are:

$m_1=5.3kgm_2=7.9kg\\m_3=10.5kg\\m_A=75kg\\m_{Total}=m=98.7Kg$

Solving to find the final speed, after throwing the object we have

$V_f=\frac{mV_0+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}$

We have three objects. For each object a launch is made so the final mass (denominator) will begin to be subtracted successively. In addition, during each new launch the initial speed will be given for each object thrown again.

That way during each section the equations should be modified depending on the previous one, let's start:

A) $5.3Kg\rightarrow 15m/s$

$V_{f1}=\frac{mV_0+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}$

$V_{f1}=\frac{(98.7)*0+5.3*15}{98.7-5.3}$

$V_{f1}=0.8511m/s$

B) $7.9Kg\rightarrow 11.2m/s$

$V_{f2}=\frac{mV_{f1}+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}$

$V_{f2}=\frac{(98.7)(0.8511)+(7.9)(11.2)}{98.7-5.3-7.9}$

$V_{f2} = 2.0173m/s$

C) $10.5Kg\rightarrow 7m/s$

$V_{f3}=\frac{mV_{f2}+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}$

$V_{f3}=\frac{(98.7)(2.0173)+(10.5)(7)}{98.7-5.3-7.9-10.5}$

$V_{f3} = 3.63478m/s$

Therefore the final velocity of astronaut is 3.63m/s

suppose that 273 g of one of the substances listed above displaces 26 mL of water. What is the substance?

guajiro [1.7K]

<span>The unknown substance is silver. I don't see a list of available substances, but let's see if there's something reasonable available that will match. First, let's calculate the density of the unknown substance. Density is mass per volume, so 273 g / 26 mL = 10.5 g/mL Looking up a list of elements sorted by density, I see the following: 10.07 Actinium 10.22 Molybdenum 10.5 Silver 11.35 Lead And silver at 10.5 g/ml is a very nice match for the unknown substances' density of 10.5 g/ml.</span>
