a ray of light goes from medium 1 to medium 2. The angle made by the light ray with the normal at the point of incidence in medium 2 is greater than the angle made by it in medium 1. On the basis of the information given, which of the two media has a higher optical density and why?​

Consider an ordinary, helium-filled party balloon with a volume of 2.2 ft3. the lifting force on the balloon due to the outside air is the net resultant of the pressure distribution exerted on the exterior surface of the balloon. using this fact, we can derive archimedes’ principle, namely that the upward force on the balloon is equal to the weight of the air displaced by the balloon. assuming that the balloon is at sea level, where the air density is 0.002377 slug/ft3, calculate the maximum weight that can be lifted by the balloon. note: the molecular weight of air is 28.8 and that of helium is 4.

Ametal ball with a mass of 0.028 kg is dropped from rest at a height of 1.0 meters above the ground. assuming the energy in the ball is conserved, how much kinetic energy will the ball have when it is 0.5 meters above the ground?

Ahot-air balloon is 11.0 m above the ground and rising at a speed of 7.00 m/s. a ball is thrown horizontally from the balloon basket at a speed of 9.00 m/s. ignore friction and air resistance and find the speed of the ball when it strikes the ground.
