Answer:

f1 / f2 = n2 / n1  

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we should remember that the formula for index of refraction is defined as:

n = c / v

or

n v = c

Where,

n = index of refraction

c = speed of light

v = speed of light in the medium

Since speed of light is constant, then we can simply equate the materials 1 and 2:

n1 v1 = n2 v2

Where the speed of light in the medium (v) can be expressed as:

v = w * f

Where,

w = wavelength of light

f = frequency of light

Therefore substituting this back into the relating equation:

n1  w1 f1 = n1  w2 f1

Since it is given that the light is monochromatic, w1 = w2, this further simplifies the equation to:

n1 f1 = n2 f2

f1 / f2 = n2 / n1                  (ANSWER)

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

d) v1 = v2 = v3

Explanation:

This can be answered using conservation of energy. We calculate the mechanical energy E=K+U (sum of kinetic and gravitational potential energies) at the original and final points, and impose they are equal.

At the original point we have, for the three balls:

E_i=K_i+U_i=\frac{mv_i^2}{2}+mgh_i=\frac{mv^2}{2}+mgh

At the final point we have, for the three balls:

E_f=K_f+U_f=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}+mgh_f=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}

Since we have E_i=E_f, and E_i is the same for all balls, then E_f is the same for all balls, which means that v_f, the final velocity, is the same for all balls.

A force of only 150 N can lift a 600 N sack of flour to a height of 0.50 m when using a lever as shown in the diagram below. a.
Snowcat [4.5K]
Actually the question is not clear. The Benefit of lifting using lever is that you can apply force in a convenient direction and you can use very less force to lift object by balancing the torque due to object.For example you want to lift a mass of 4N with a force 2N you can use a class 2 lever and maintain the ratio between the distances of the body and the point of application of force from the fulcrum to be 1:2.In any case balance the torque to get the required force.

A 1.7-kg block of wood rests on a rough surface. A 0.011-kg bullet strikes the block with a speed of 670 m/s and embeds itself.
aksik [14]

What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface?  Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

0.39

Explanation:

Given information

m1=1.7 Kg

m2=0.011 Kg

v2=670 m/s

d=2.4 m

m2v2=(m1+m2)v hence v=\frac {m2v2}{m1+m2} and also a=\frac {v^{2}}{2d}

The deceleration due to friction is given by

F=\mu_k N=\mu_k W=\mu_k (m1+m2)g

F=(m1+m2)a=\mu_k (m1+m2)g therefore a=\mu_k g

Therefore, a=\frac {v^{2}}{2d}=\mu_k g

\mu_k=\frac {1}{2dg}(\frac {m2v}{m1+m2})^{2}=\frac {1}{2*2.4*9.81}\times (\frac {0.011*670}{1.7+0.011})^{2}

\mu_k=0.39
