Refractive Index is a ratio of two similar physical quantity which is dimension less
refractive index = sin I / sin r

therefore it doesn't have a unit.

Refractive index is expressed as a ratio of speed of light in vacuum relative to the speed of considered medium. As it is a ratio and the units m/s or km/h cancel out each other. Therefore, the qauntity refractive index does not have any unit. I hope it will be helpful to you. Thank you

elements found in the same ______ have similar chemical properties. What should go in the blank? Row or column?

Temka [501]

The answer is Column, however if you want to know the scientific word for it, it is also known as a group

(extra fact, a row is called a period)

An object of unknown mass is initially at rest and dropped from a height h. It reaches the ground with a velocity v1 . The same

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

$v_2=\sqrt{2}v_1$

Explanation:

The velocity v₁ can be calculated with the kinematic formula:

$v_1^{2} =v_0^{2} +2gh$

Since the object is initially at rest, v₁ becomes:

$v_1=\sqrt{2gh}$

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Now, the velocity v₂ can be calculated with the same formula, but now the initial velocity is v₁:

$v_2^{2}=v_1^{2} +2gh$

Substituting v₁ in this expression and solving for v₂, we get:

$v_2^{2}=(\sqrt{2gh} )^{2} +2gh=4gh\\\\\implies v_2=\sqrt{4gh}=2\sqrt{gh}$

Now, dividing v₂ over v₁, we get the expression:

$\frac{v_2}{v_1}=\frac{2\sqrt{gh} }{\sqrt{2gh}}=\sqrt{2}\\ \\\implies v_2=\sqrt{2}v_1$

It means that v₂ is √2 times v₁.
