The required value of the index of refraction of glass is 1.5.

Given data:

The speed of light in a vacuum is, c = 3.0 \times 10^{8} \;\rm m/s.

The speed of light in a glass is, v = 2.0 \times 10^{8} \;\rm m/s.

Light has the tendency to travel from one medium to another, then the difference between the speeds of light in various mediums is determined by a term, known as the index of refraction. The mathematical expression for the index of refraction of glass is,

n = c / v

Solving as

n = \dfrac{3.0 \times 10^{8}}{2.0 \times 10^{8}}\\\\n = 1.5

Thus, we can conclude that the required value of the index of refraction of glass is 1.5.

5) [Honors]A seagull, ascending straight upward at 5.2 m/s, drops a shell when it is 12.5m above the ground. (A)
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

(B) 13.9 m

(C) 1.06 s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 5.2 m/s

y₀ = 12.5 m

(A) The acceleration in free fall is -9.8 m/s².

(B) At maximum height, v = 0 m/s.

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = (5.2 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (y − 12.5 m)

y = 13.9 m

(C) When the shell returns to a height of 12.5 m, the final velocity v is -5.2 m/s.

v = at + v₀

-5.2 m/s = (-9.8 m/s²) t + 5.2 m/s

t = 1.06 s

Kinetic Theory<br> a. Briefly state what the kinetic theory says.
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Kinetic Theory states that pressure is not cause by molecule that push molecule to each other

Explanation:

Kinetic Theory

it is also known as kinetic molecular theory or the collision theory

Kinetic theory explain you property of gas such as

(1) pressure, (2) temperature, (3) volume

Kinetic Theory states that pressure is not cause by molecule that push molecule to each other and  pressure is caused by  molecule colliding with the each other and with the container

3 component of   kinetic theory are

  1. when the molecules collide, there no energy is gain or lost
  2. In the gas molecule take approx negligible amount of space
  3. molecules are in constant and linear motion
