Do you add the initial position and final position to get distance?

1 answer:

4 0

You can do d=st (s is speed and t is time) or you can use pythagorean theorem if the distance is or the two positions is a right angle.

A beam of light has a wavelength of 650 nm in vacuum. (a) What is the speed of this light in a liquid whose index of refraction

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The speed of this light and wavelength in a liquid are $2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s$ and 442 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 650 nm

Index refraction = 1.47

(a). We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of speed

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

Where, n = refraction index

c = speed of light in vacuum

v = speed of light in medium

Put the value into the formula

$1.47=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{v}$

$v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.47}$

$v= 2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s$

(b). We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$n=\dfrac{\lambda_{0}}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_{0}}{n}$

Where, $\lambda_{0}$ = wavelength in vacuum

$\lambda$ = wavelength in medium

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{650\times10^{-9}}{1.47}$

$\lambda=442\times10^{-9}\ m$

Hence, The speed of this light and wavelength in a liquid are $2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s$ and 442 nm.

If a car is traveling at a velocity of +10m/s suddenly turns around and continues at the same speed, what is its new velocity?

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

-10m/s

Explanation:

only the magnitude of the velocity will change due to the change in direction of the car.

What is dark energy? How is dark energy related to the theory of the multiverse?

olga55 [171]

Answer:

In the 1980s, astronomers turned to multiverse theory to explain the “luckily small” amount of dark energy in our universe. According to cosmologist's theories, this small amount of dark energy appeared to enable our universe to host life, while most universes in the multiverse couldn't.
