Answer:

n = c/v = (3.00 x 108 m/s)/(2.76 x 108 m/s) = 1.09. This does not equal any of the indices of refraction listed in the table.

A planet in elliptical orbit around a star moves from the point in its orbit furthest from the star (A) to the closest point (P)
Virty [35]

Answer:

Zero work done,since the body isn't acting against  or by gravity.

Explanation:

Gravitational force is usually  considered as work done against gravity (-ve) and work by gravity ( +ve ) and also When work isn't done by or against gravity work done in this case is zero.

Gravitational force can be define as that force that attracts a body to any other phyical body or system that have mass.

The planet been considered as our system in this case is assumed to have mass, and ought to demonstrate such properties associated with gravitational force in such system. Such properties include the return of every object been thrown up as a result of gravity acting downwards. The orbiting nature of object along an elliptical part when gravitational force isn't acting on the body and it is assumed to be zero.

Before the experiment, the total momentum of the system is 2.5 kg m/s to the right and the kinetic energy is 5J. After the exper

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Elastic collision is defined as a collision where the kinetic energy of the system remains same. Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in case of an elastic collision.

Inelastic collision is defined as a collision where kinetic energy of the system is not conserved whereas the linear momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy may due to the conversion to thermal energy or sound energy or may be due to the deformation of the materials colliding with each other.

As given in the problem, before the collision, total momentum of the system is 2.5~Kg~m~s^{-1} and the kinetic energy is 5~J. After the collision, the total momentum of the system is  2.5~Kg~m~s^{-1}, but the kinetic energy is reduced to 4~J. So some amount of kinetic energy is lost during the collision.

Therefor the situation describes an inelastic collision (and it could NOT be elastic).

Describe how a shovel makes moving dirt easier. Use the words “resistant force,” “effort force,” and “distance.” Tell what kind
timurjin [86]

A simple machine is a device for doing work that has only one part. Simple machines redirect or change the size of forces, allowing people to do work with less muscle effort and greater speed, thus making their work easier. There are six kinds of simple machines: the lever, the pulley, the wheel and axle, the inclined plane, the wedge, and the screw.
