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 bolt of lightning discharges 9.7 C in 8.9 x 10^-5 s. What is the average current during the discharge?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: 1.089\times 10^5\ A

Explanation:

Given

Charge discharged Q=9.7\C

time taken t=8.9\times 10^{-5}\ s

Current is given as rate of change of discharge i.e.

\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{Q}{t}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{9.7}{8.9\times 10^{-5}}\\\\\Rightarrow I=1.089\times 10^5\ A

Therefore, the average current is 1.089\times 10^5\ A

Explain the value or importance of using the international system of units when describing motion
adoni [48]
<span>It is important to use the Système Internationale (SI) units to describe motion, and other scientific concepts, firstly because the units are the most widely used. Unit choice is largely arbitrary, however, because many scientific units are derived from the base SI units, for example, the Newton is kg m s-2. Thus, secondly, more complex units are based on the bedrock of the SI units.</span>

How to change this to mega and giga prefixes?urgent .thankyou
Akimi4 [234]
3*10^{8} m = 3*10^{5} km = 3*10^{2} Mm = 3*10^{-1} Gm

Each increase in the prefix is a division by 1000.

Help fast please!!!!!

We're told that the planets have EQUAL MASS.

If that's true, then the strength of the gravitational forces between
each planet and the star depends only on the distance between
them ... the farther a planet is from the star, the smaller the
gravitational forces are IF we're talking about planets with
equal masses.

Planet-X is closer to the star, and Planet-Y is farther from it. 
From this we know that the gravitational forces between the
star and Planet-X are greater, and the forces between the star
and Planet-Y are smaller.

'A' says this.

'B' is totally absurd, because it talks about gravity repelling things.

'C' says exactly the opposite for the two planets.

'D' says that distance doesn't matter.  We know this is absurd,
simply because we're never pulled toward Jupiter in our daily life.
