The speed of light in benzene is 2.00×108 m/s. what is the index of refraction of benzene?

The index of refraction of a material is the ratio between the speed of light in vacuum, c, and the speed of light in that material, v:
n= \frac{c}{v}
where the speed of light in vacuum is c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s. The speed of light in benzene is v=2.00 \cdot 10^8 m/s, so we can use the previous relationship to find the refractive index of benzene:
n= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{2.00 \cdot 10^8 m/s}=1.5

A rectangular beam 10 cm wide, is subjected to a maximum shear force of 50000 N, the corresponding maximum shear stress being 3
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Shear stress is the ratio of shear force to area.

We have

       Shear stress = 3 N/mm² = 3 x 10⁶ N/m²

       Area = Area of rectangle = 10 x 10⁻² x d = 0.1d

       Shear force = 50000 N

Substituting

        \texttt{Shear stress}=\frac{\texttt{Shear force}}{\texttt{Area}}\\\\3\times 10^6=\frac{50000}{0.1d}\\\\d=0.1667m=16.67cm

Width of beam = 16.67 cm

Option B is the correct answer.

. A lightbulb with a resistance of 2.9 ohms is operated using a 1.5-volt battery. At what rate is
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

A light bulb has a resistance of 2.9ohms

R = 2.9 ohms

And a battery of 1.5V is applied

V = 1.5 V

We want to find the rate of energy transformed

First we need to know what rate of energy is

Rate of energy implies that we want to find power. Power is the rate at which work is done

P = Workdone / time

Then,

In electronic, the power dissipated by a resistor is given as

P = V² / R

P = 1.5² / 2.9

P = 0.7759 W

P ≈ 0.776 W

So, the rate at which electrical energy transformed in the lightbulb is 0.776 Watts

The image on the left shows the charges on a balloon after it’s been rubbed with a wool cloth. The image on the right is a piece
taurus [48]

When wool is rubbed with a balloon, the wool is left with a positive charge as electrons have travelled from the wool to the balloon which means the balloon now has a negative charge.

Now that the balloon has a negative charge, you need to know:
The tissue paper originally contains electrons and protons
The fact that the balloon has a negative charge, it will ATTRACT protons because protons are POSITIVE and electrons are NEGATIVE.
So once they are attracted, they will move closer to one another.
