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

You can describe the _______________ of an object by saying it is moving in a straight line or is curved around another object.
velikii [3]

Answer:

You can describe the<u> motion </u>of an object by saying it is moving in a straight line or is curved around another object. You can also describe where an object is by its <u> position </u> in relation to another object. The second object acts as a<u> reference</u> point. When an object changes position, you know it has motion. Motion can also be described by finding an object's <u>speed  </u>or how fast or slow it moves in a certain amount of time. In addition, you can describe the object's speed AND direction together. This is called <u>velocity</u>

Explanation:

In the given answer-

<u>Motion</u> is defined as - the change in the movement or position of any object  or body.

<u>Position</u> is said to be a place or somewhere or a location where any object or body is particularly placed/located or put on.

<u>Reference poin</u>t is a fixed point with regards to which any object or body changes its position. It is also called reference origin.

<u>Speed</u> is defined as the rate of any object covering certain distances. It is a scaler quantity (quantity which depends upon only magnitude).

<u>Velocity</u> is defined as the rate of speed per unit time. It is a vector quantity (quantity depending upon both magnitude and direction ).

A guy wire 1034 feet long is attached to the top of a tower. When pulled taut, it touches level ground 699 feet from the base of
kolezko [41]

Answer:

80.386 degrees

Explanation:

We use the cosine equation here (which is the adjacent side of the unknown angle divided by the hypotenuse

The adjacent side = 699ft

The hypotenuse = 1034ft

using cos∅ = Adjacent/hypotenuse

where ∅ is the unknown angle

cos ∅ = 699/1034 = 0.167

∅ = arccos 0.167 = 80.368°

As easy as one can imagine

After a nucleus with 85 protons undergoes alpha decay, it has<br><br> ? protons.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

After a nucleus with 85 protons undergoes alpha decay, it has  83 protons.

Explanation:

In an alpha particle there are two protons

In the given substance's nucleus, there are total of 85 protons

After the decay, the proton number reduce

The current proton number after decay is

85 -2 = 83

After a nucleus with 85 protons undergoes alpha decay, it has  83 protons.
