Answer: 1.333

Explanation:

Index of refraction= n=c/v

Where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in material ( water) in this case.

n = 3.00.108/2.25.108

n =3.00/2.25

n = 1.333

Approximately 1.33

There is no unit because m/s cancels out m/s

N= velocity in vacuum/velocity in water 
n=3.00*10⁸m/s/2.25 *10⁸m/s= 3.00/2.25 ≈ 1.33

n ≈ 1.33

A charge feels a 7.89 x 10-7 N force when it moves 2090 m/s at a 29.4° angle to a 4.23 x 10-3 T magnetic field. What is the amou
tamaranim1 [39]

We have that the amount of the charge q is

q=1.8*10^{-7}

From the Question we are told that

Force F=7.89 x*10^{-7}

Velocity V=2090m/s

Angle \theta=29.4

Magnetic field B=4.23 * 10^{-3} T

Generally, the equation for Force F is mathematically given by

F=qVBsin\theta\\\\q=\frac{F}{VBsin\theta}

q=\frac{7.89 x*10^{-7}}{4.23 * 10^{-3} T*sin29.4*2090m/s}

q=1.8*10^{-7}

In conclusion

The amount of the charge q is

q=1.8*10^{-7}

How is the temperature of a gas related to the kinetic energy of its particles
love history [14]

The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to the temperature. An increase in temperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move. All gases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy. Lighter gas molecules move faster than heavier molecules.
