We are given with
distance traveled through vacuum = 1.0 m
refractive index of water = 1.33
refractive index of glass = 1.50
refractive index of diamond = 2.42
distance traveled through water is = 1.0/1.33 = 0.75 m
distance traveled through water is = 1.0/1.50 = 0.67 m
distance traveled through water is = 1.0/2.42 = 0.41 m
Answer:
2.06 m/s
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal. Considering this case where we have frictionless surface, no momentum is lost in the process.
Momentum before collision
Momentum is given by p=mv where m and v represent mass. The initial sum of momentum will be 9v+(27*0.5)=9v+13.5
Momentum after collision
The momentum after collision will be given by (9+27)*0.9=32.4
Relating the two then 9v+13.5=32.4
9v=18.5
V=2.055555555555555555555555555555555555555 m/s
Rounded off, v is approximately 2.06 m/s
The mass of the object will remain the same rather it's on the moon or on the Earth and even in other places. But the weight will change on the moon, so its weight will be different from the one it had on Earth
