Calculate the speed of light in a medium whose refractive index is 2.4

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Approximately [tex]1.3\times 10^{8}\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}[/tex].

Explanation:

Look up the speed of light in vacuum: [tex]c \approx 3.00\times 10^{8}\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}[/tex]. Denote the speed as [tex]c[/tex].

If the speed of light in a medium is [tex]v[/tex], the refractive index of that medium would be:

[tex]\displaystyle n = \frac{c}{v}[/tex].

Note, that the refractive index of a medium is inversely proportional to the speed of light in this medium. A medium with a larger refractive index would thus correspond to a slower speed of light.

Rearrange this equation to find the speed of light [tex]v[/tex] in this medium:

[tex]\begin{aligned}v &= \frac{c}{n} \\ &= \frac{3.00\times 10^{8}\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}}{2.4} \\ &\approx 1.25 \times 10^{8}\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}[/tex].

What type of bond is found in pure gold?
A) Metallic
B) Ionic
C)Covalent
D)Diatomic

Answers

Pure gold is a metallic bond as well as silver, iron and platinum

The type of bond found in pure gold is metallic bonding, indicated by metallic bonds. Therefore option A is correct.

Metallic bonding occurs between metal atoms, such as gold, and is characterized by the sharing of electrons among a sea of delocalized electrons.

In metallic bonds, the valence electrons of metal atoms are not strongly bound to any particular atom but are free to move throughout the metal lattice.

This sharing of electrons gives rise to properties such as high electrical and thermal conductivity, malleability, and ductility, which are characteristic of metals like gold.

Unlike ionic or covalent bonds, metallic bonds do not involve the transfer or sharing of electrons between different elements.

Select the correct answer. What are the directions of an object's velocity and acceleration vectors when the object moves in a circular path with a constant speed? A. The question is meaningless, since the acceleration is zero.
B. The vectors point in opposite directions.
C. Both vectors point in the same direction.
D. The vectors are perpendicular.

Answers

The centripetal acceleration which always  act toward the center of the circle. The vectors are perpendicular. The correct answer for this question, is option D

The speed of an object is always constant in a  circular motion while the object keeps changing direction regularly. The velocity will keep changing because of the change in direction.

Whenever there is a change in velocity, there must be acceleration.

When the object is moving in a circular path with a constant speed, the directions of an object's velocity and acceleration vectors will be perpendicular to each other

The reason is because acceleration is centripetal acceleration which always  act toward the center of the circle.

Therefore, the correct answer for this question, is option D

The Book of Dragons
Chapter III The Deliverers of Their Country, an excerpt
By E. Nesbit

It all began with Effie's getting something in her eye. It hurt very much indeed, and it felt something like a red-hot spark—only it seemed to have legs as well, and wings like a fly. Effie rubbed and cried—not real crying, but the kind your eye does all by itself without your being miserable inside your mind—and then she went to her father to have the thing in her eye taken out. Effie's father was a doctor, so of course he knew how to take things out of eyes.

When he had gotten the thing out, he said: "This is very curious." Effie had often got things in her eye before, and her father had always seemed to think it was natural—rather tiresome and naughty perhaps, but still natural. He had never before thought it curious.

Effie stood holding her handkerchief to her eye, and said: "I don't believe it's out." People always say this when they have had something in their eyes.

"Oh, yes—it's out," said the doctor. "Here it is, on the brush. This is very interesting."

Effie had never heard her father say that about anything that she had any share in. She said: "What?"

The doctor carried the brush very carefully across the room, and held the point of it under his microscope—then he twisted the brass screws of the microscope, and looked through the top with one eye.

"Dear me," he said. "Dear, dear me! Four well-developed limbs; a long caudal appendage; five toes, unequal in lengths, almost like one of the Lacertidae, yet there are traces of wings." The creature under his eye wriggled a little in the castor oil, and he went on: "Yes; a bat-like wing. A new specimen, undoubtedly. Effie, run round to the professor and ask him to be kind enough to step in for a few minutes."

"You might give me sixpence, Daddy," said Effie, "because I did bring you the new specimen. I took great care of it inside my eye, and my eye does hurt."

The doctor was so pleased with the new specimen that he gave Effie a shilling, and presently the professor stepped round. He stayed to lunch, and he and the doctor quarreled very happily all the afternoon about the name and the family of the thing that had come out of Effie's eye.

But at teatime another thing happened. Effie's brother Harry fished something out of his tea, which he thought at first was an earwig. He was just getting ready to drop it on the floor, and end its life in the usual way, when it shook itself in the spoon—spread two wet wings, and flopped onto the tablecloth. There it sat, stroking itself with its feet and stretching its wings, and Harry said: "Why, it's a tiny newt!"

The professor leaned forward before the doctor could say a word. "I'll give you half a crown for it, Harry, my lad," he said, speaking very fast; and then he picked it up carefully on his handkerchief.

"It is a new specimen," he said, "and finer than yours, Doctor."

It was a tiny lizard, about half an inch long—with scales and wings.

So now the doctor and the professor each had a specimen, and they were both very pleased. But before long these specimens began to seem less valuable. For the next morning, when the knife-boy was cleaning the doctor's boots, he suddenly dropped the brushes and the boot and the blacking, and screamed out that he was burnt.

And from inside the boot came crawling a lizard as big as a kitten, with large, shiny wings.

"Why," said Effie, "I know what it is. It is a dragon like the one St. George killed."

And Effie was right. That afternoon Towser was bitten in the garden by a dragon about the size of a rabbit, which he had tried to chase, and the next morning all the papers were full of the wonderful "winged lizards" that were appearing all over the country. The papers would not call them dragons, because, of course, no one believes in dragons nowadays—and at any rate the papers were not going to be so silly as to believe in fairy stories. At first there were only a few, but in a week or two the country was simply running alive with dragons of all sizes, and in the air you could sometimes see them as thick as a swarm of bees. They all looked alike except as to size. They were green with scales, and they had four legs and a long tail and great wings like bats' wings, only the wings were a pale, half-transparent yellow, like the gear-boxes on bicycles.

What is the kinetic energy of a toy truck with a mass of 0. 75 kg and a velocity of 4 m/s? (Formula: ) 3 J 6 J 12 J 24 J.

Answers

The kinetic energy of a toy truck with a mass of 0. 75 kg and a velocity of 4m/s is 6J.

HOW TO CALCULATE KINETIC ENERGY:

The kinetic energy of a moving body can be calculated by using the following formula:

K.E = ½mv²

Where;

K.E = kinetic energy (J)m = mass (kg)v = velocity (m/s)

According to this question, a toy truck has a mass of 0.75 kg and a velocity of 4 m/s. The kinetic energy is calculated as follows:

K.E = ½ × 0.75 × 4²

K.E = 8 × 0.75

K.E = 6J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of a toy truck with a mass of 0. 75 kg and a velocity of 4m/s is 6J.

A cheetah runs at an average speed of 60mph. find the distance it runs in 30 s

Answers

Answer:60mph means it runs every minute.

Explanation: because it makes sense.

Answer:

  2640 ft, or 1/2 mile

Explanation:

Recognizing that 30 s = 0.5 min, we can convert the units like this.

  distance = speed × time

  distance = (60 mi/h) × (1 h/(60 min)) ×(0.5 min) = 0.5 mi

In feet, that is ...

  (5280 ft/mi)(0.5 mi) = 2640 ft

A cheetah runs 1/2 mile, or 2640 feet in 30 s.

a truck in a traffic circle travels in a circular path at constant speed v0 while passing through region x of the circle, as shown in figure 1 above. a diagram representing the forces exerted on the truck in region x is shown in figure 2. at a later time a car with less mass than the truck passes through region x at the same speed and the same distance from the center of the traffic circle as the truck. the coefficient of friction between the car’s tires and the ground is the same as that for the truck’s tires and the ground. which of the following diagrams could represent the forces exerted on the car in region x compared to the truck in region x ? assume that the length of each arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the force represented by the arrow.

Answers

The Diagram that represents the forces exerted on the car in region x when compared to the truck in region X is :  Diagram C

Given that the mass of the car is less than the mass of the truck the force due to gravity will be greater on the truck than it could be on the car

i.e. | Fg |car  <  | Fg | truck

also : | Fₙ | car  <  | Fₙ | truck

Since the gravitational force on the car is less than the gravitational force on the truck

| Ff | car < | Ff | truck

where : Ff = frictional force

             Fg = force due to gravity

             Fn  normal force

Therefore from the diagrams attached below the correct diagram that represents the forces exerted on the car in region x when compared to the truck in region X is :  Diagram C.
