Refractive index is defined as

\mu = \frac{speed of light in air}{speed of light in medium}

\mu = \frac{c}{v}

given that

v = 0.6 c

so we will have

\mu = \frac{c}{0.6c}

\mu = 1.67

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The refractive index is 1.66

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum .

Refractive index of medium = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium  

So

RI = 1/0.6 = 5/3 or 1.66

Floor lamps usually have a base with large inertia, while the long body and top have much less inertia. Part A If you want to sh
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

When a an object is been rotated its resistance capacity to that rotational force is know as rotational inertia  and this mathematically given as

          I = mr^2

   Where m is the mass

                r is the rotation radius

For the spinning of the lamp as a baton to work the location of the center of mass of the floor lamp needs to be located

This is more likely to be located closer to base of the lamp as compared to the top, so success of spinning a floor lamp like a baton is highly likely if the lamp is grabbed closer to the base because that is where the position of its center of mass is likely to be.

When the balloon hits the ground, it rebounds slightly. What is the source of the energy for this rebound? A. When the balloon h
nevsk [136]

Answer:

The correct answer is c.    When the balloon hits the ground, the rubber envelope stretches, storing elastic potential energy; this elastic potential energy is converted to the gravitational potentiaL

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation of the globe

When it touches the ground, the part that is in contact decreases its velocity to zero, but the upper part of the ball continues to move, which creates that the molecules approach slightly, if we approximate the spring links, a repulsive force is created that after all the particles reach zero speed. The force of the springs moves the ball up until the force decreases to zero.

We can relate this force of Hooke with an elastic energy

This energy can be stored in the deformation of the system, as elastic potential energy, which is subsequently transformed into gravitational potential energy when the balloon is lifted.

The correct answer is c

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Below is the answer:

sum of Mc = 0 = -Ay(4.2 + 3cos(59)) + (275)(2.1 + 3cos(59)) + M 
<span>- Ay = (M + (275*(2.1 + 3cos(59)))/(4.2 + 3cos(59)) </span>

<span>sum of Ma = 0 = (-275)(2.1) - Cy(4.2 + 3cos(59)) + M </span>
<span>- Cy = (M - (275*2.1))/(4.2 + 3cos(59)) </span>

<span>Ay + Cy = 275 = ((M+1002.41)+(M-577.5))/(5.745) </span>
<span>= (2M + 424.91)/(5.745) </span>

<span>M = ((275*5.745) - 424.91)/2 </span>
<span>= 577.483 which rounds off to 577 </span>

<span>Is it maybe supposed to be Ay - Cy = 275</span>

Your low-flow showerhead is delivering water at 1.2×10−4m3/s, about 2.0 gallons per minute.
Oksanka [162]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the fluid mechanics equations related to continuity, for which the proportion of the input flow is equal to the output flow, in other words:

Q_1 = Q_2

We know that the flow rate is equivalent to the velocity of the fluid in its area, that is,

Q = VA

Where

V = Velocity

A = Cross-sectional Area

Our values are given as

Q_2 = 1.2*10^{-4}m^3/s

d = 0.021m

r = \frac{0.021}{2} = 0.0105m

Since there is continuity we have now that,

V_1A_1 = Q_2

V_1A_1 = 1.2*10^{-4}

V_1 = \frac{1.2*10^{-4}}{A_2}

V_1 = \frac{1.2*10^{-4}}{\pi r^2}

V_1 = \frac{1.2*10^{-4}}{\pi (0.0105)^2}

V_1 =0.347m/s

Therefore the speed of the water's house supply line is 0.347m/s
