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 :)

A rectangular piece of​ cardboard, whose area is 352 square​ centimeters, is made into an open box by cutting a 2​-centimeter sq
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Dimension of cardboard is 22 m by 16 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Area = 352 cm²

Side of each square cutting from corner = 2 cm

Volume of box = 432 cm³

Let the two sides are x and y.

The area of the rectangular piece is

xy=352

y=\dfrac{352}{x} -------- (1)

The volume of the rectangular piece

2(x-4)(\dfrac{352}{x}-4)=432

x^2-38x+352=0

(x-16)(x-22)=0

x=16,22

Put the value of x in the equation (I)

For x = 16

y=\dfrac{352}{16}=22

For x = 22

y=\dfrac{352}{22}=16

Dimension of cardboard is 22 m by 16 m

Imagine you are holding an apple. a. Does this apple have energy? How do you know? b. How could you increase the potential energ
Len [333]
A).  The apple has thermal energy, because its temperature is higher
than absolute zero.
It also has chemical energy, because if I eat it, I get a burst of energy
and I become ambitious for a while.
It also has gravitational potential energy, because if I drop it on my foot,
it could bruise one of my piggies.

b).  I could increase its potential energy by lifting it higher, like over my head.

c).  As long as I'm just holding the apple, it doesn't have any kinetic energy. 
I could give it some kinetic energy by throwing it.
Or I could just drop it, and let gravity give it kinetic energy.
