If the speed of light in air is 3.00 times 10 to the 8 m/s power and the speed of light in water is 2.25 times 10 to the 8 power

m/s what is the index of refraction of water

The refractive index is essentially the speed of light through a vacuum (extremely similar to air) divided by the speed of light through given medium.
I also attached some of my physics notes on refraction and that sort of jazz as they may help :)

What are two ways an engineer can build a car in order for it to accelerate faster
Ket [755]

Explanation:

Take F=ma

a = F/m

For a higher, F higher or m lower

Means higher horse power for engine or lower mass for the car

“Is it correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave?
klio [65]

It's weird but technically correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave.  Radio and light are both electromagnetic waves.  The only difference is that radio waves have much much much longer wavelengths, and much much much lower frequencies, than light waves have.  But they're both the same physical phenomenon.

However, a radio wave CAN'T also be considered to be a sound wave.  These two things are as different as two waves can be.

-- Radio is an electromagnetic wave. Sound is a mechanical wave.

-- Radio waves travel more than 800 thousand times faster than sound waves do.

-- Radio waves are transverse waves. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.

-- Radio waves can travel through empty space. Sound waves need material stuff to travel through.

-- Radio waves can be detected by radio, TV, and microwave receivers. Sound waves can't.

-- Sound waves can be detected by our ears. Radio waves can't.

-- Sound waves can be generated by talking, or by hitting a frying pan with a spoon. Radio waves can't.

-- Radio waves can be generated by an alternating current flowing through an isolated wire. Sound waves can't.

PLEASE ANSWER
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Farm = 98.1 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must draw the respective free body diagram, with the forces acting on the monkey. An analysis of the sums on the y-axis must be performed, in this axis the weight is acting down and the forces of both arms pulling up.

Weight is defined as the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

W = m*g

where:

m = mass = 20 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

W = 196.2 [N] (units of Newtons)

As this force points down, the force of both arms must go up, therefore each arm exerts a force of:

Farm = 196.2 / 2

Farm = 98.1 [N]
