Light travels faster in air than glass

Svet_ta [14]2 years ago

Answer:

\boxed{Air}

Explanation:

<em>Light travels faster in the air than in glass because glass has a higher refractive index than air.</em>

<em>glass is solid and more packed than air, so the light will have more space and less resistance in the air to travel than in glass.</em>

A system has two possible energy states, E0 and E1 (with E1 &gt; E0). If the difference between these energy states grows (E0 an
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The number of particles in state E0 over the number of particles in state E1  will reduce

Explanation:

E0 represents the ground level state when all the particles have same energy level.

E1 represents excited state in which only a few particle reaches

E0 and E1 get further apart  means that the energy difference between the two level increases.

Thus, the number of particles in state E0 over the number of particles in state E1  will reduce.

A planet of mass 7.00 1025 kg is in a circular orbit of radius 6.00 1011 m around a star. The star exerts a force on the planet
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

A) 1.88 * 10^17 m

B) 1.22 * 10^34 J

C) 1.95 * 10^34 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of planet = 7.00 * 10^25 kg

Radius of orbit = 6.00 * 10^11 m

Force exerted on planet = 6.51 * 10^22 N

Velocity of planet = 2.36 * 10^4 m/s

A) The distance traveled by the planet is half of the circumference of the orbit (which is circular).

The circumference of the orbit is

C = 2 * pi * R

R = radius of orbit

C = 2 * 3.142 * 6.0 * 10¹¹

C = 3.77 * 10¹² m

Hence, distance traveled will be:

D = 0.5 * 3.77 * 10¹²

D = 1.88 * 10 ¹² m/s

B) Work done is given as:

W = F * D

W = 652 * 10²² * 1.88 * 10¹¹

W = 1.22 * 10³⁴ J

C) Change in Kinetic energy is given as:

K. E. = 0.5 * m * v²

K. E. = 0.5 * 7 * 10^25 * (2.36 * 10^4)²

K. E. = 1.95 * 10³⁴ J

Wegener believed continents moved, but he did not know how. Identify what needed to happen before Wegener's idea about moving co
pochemuha

D. Advances in technology were needed to gather more evidence.

Explanation:

New technologies had to be developed to ascertain Wegener's claims.

The major flaw in Wegener's postulate was that the moving continents lacked a mechanism to drive them into motion.

His theory needed more scientific backing also.

  • A major leap was made when new technologies used during the second world war was deployed to investigate the ocean floor.
  • Sequences of magnetic anomalies were unraveled using equipment developed during the second world war
  • This gave further proof to the idea of continental drift and it expanded the theory into a more broader and inclusive theory of plate tectonics.

An archer tests various arrowheads by shooting arrows at a pumpkin that is suspended from a tree branch by a rope, as shown to t
erik [133]

Answer:

Bounce 1 ,  pass 3,   emb2

Explanation:

(By the way I am also doing that question on College board physics page) For the Bounce arrow, since it bumps into the object and goes back, it means now it has a negative momentum, which means a larger momentum is given to the object. P=mv, so the velocity is larger for the object, and larger velocity means a larger kinetic energy which would result in a larger change in the potential energy. Since K=0.5mv^2=U=mgh, a larger potential energy would have a larger change in height which means it has a larger angle θ with the vertical line. Comparing with the "pass arrow" and the "Embedded arrow", the embedded arrow gives the object a larger momentum, Pi=Pf (mv=(M+m)V), it gives all its original momentum to the two objects right now. (Arrow and the pumpkin), it would have a larger velocity. However for the pass arrow, it only gives partial of its original momentum and keeps some of them for the arrow to move, which means the pumpkin has less momentum, means less velocity, and less kinetic energy transferred into the potential energy, and means less change in height, less θangle.  So it is  Bounce1, pass3, emb2.
