<span>The speed of ray of light traveling through a substance whose index of refraction 1.1 is

(c/1.1) = (299,792,458 m/s) / 1.1  =  </span>272,538,598 m/s

A ray of light passes from air into carbon disulfide (n = 1.63) at an angle of 28.0 degrees to the normal. what is the refracted
Snezhnost [94]
We can solve the problem by using Snell's law, which states 
n_i \sin \theta_i = n_r \sin \theta_r
where
n_i is the refractive index of the first medium
\theta_i is the angle of incidence
n_r is the refractive index of the second medium
\theta_r is the angle of refraction

In our problem, n_i=1.00 (refractive index of air), \theta_i = 28.0^{\circ} and n_r=1.63 (refractive index of carbon disulfide), therefore we can re-arrange the previous equation to calculate the angle of refraction:
\sin \theta_r =  \frac{n_i}{n_r}  \sin \theta_r =  \frac{1.00}{1.63}  \sin 28.0^{\circ} = 0.288
From which we find
\theta_r = \arcsin (0.288)=16.7^{\circ}

Some drops a ball off of the top of a 125-m-tall building. In this prob-lem, you will be solving for the time it takes the ball
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

t = 5.05 s

Explanation:

This is a kinetic problem.

a) to solve it we must fix a reference system, let's use a fixed system on the floor where the height is 0 m

b) in this system the equations of motion are

              y = v₀ t + ½ g t²

where v₀ is the initial velocity that is v₀ = 0 and g is the acceleration of gravity that always points towards the center of the Earth

e)    y = 0 + ½ g t²

     t = √ (2y / g)

     t = √(2 125 / 9.8)

     t = 5.05 s

You run due east at a constant speed of 3.00 m/s for a distance of 120.0 m and then continue running east at a constant speed of
Leni [432]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Speed while running towards east is v_1=3\ m/s

Distance traveled in east direction x_1=120\ m

For Another interval you  run with velocity

v_2=5\ m/s

x_2=240\ m

Total displacement=x_1+x_2

=120+120=240\ m

Time for first interval

t_1=\frac{x_1}{v_1}=\frac{120}{3}

t_1=\frac{120}{3}=40\ s

Time for second interval

t_2=\frac{x_2}{v_2}=\frac{120}{5}=24\ s

total time t=t_1+t_2

t=40+24=64\ s

average velocity v_{avg}=\frac{x_1+x_2}{t}

v_{avg}=\frac{240}{64}=3.75\ m/s

Therefore average velocity is less than 4 m/s
