We are asked to solve for the index of refraction and the formula is n = c/v where "n" represents the index of refraction, "c" represents the speed of light in the vacuum while "v" represents the speed of another medium.
In the problem, we have the given values below:
c = 3 x 10^8 m/s
v = 2 x 10^8 m/s
n =?

Solving for n, we have the solution below:
n = 3x10^8 /  2x10^8
n = 1.5

The answer is 1.5 for the index of refraction.

A small sphere with mass 5.00.×10−7kg and charge +3.00μC is released from rest a distance of 0.400 m above a large horizontal in

I will assume you are asking what the initial acceleration of the sphere is since the information provided seems to indicate that.
First we need to know Newton's Law
F=ma.  
We know the mass of the sphere and we want a so we solve to get
a=F/m.
Now we need the force on the charged sphere.  This is given by the electric field, E and the charge, Q.  The relationship is F=Q×E.  (Recall that the electric field units can be expressed in Newtons/Coulomb).
Now the electric field above a large (~infinite) sheet of charge with a known charge density σ, is given by
E = σ/(2ε0)
Plug in your values of σ, to get E, then the sphere charge Q to get F, the the mass into a = F/m to get the acceleration

An electron, starting from rest and moving with a constant acceleration, travels 2.0 cm in 5.0 ms. What is the magnitude of this
IrinaK [193]
 <span>s=2.7 centimeters = 0.027 meters 
t=3.9 milliseconds = 0.0039 seconds 

s=(1/2)a*t^2 
so 
a=(2.7*2)/(0.0039)^2 
= 355,029.58 m/s^2 

a=355,029.58 m/s^2 = 355.02958 km / s^2</span>

a balloon inflated in a room at 297k has a volume of 4.00 l. the balloon is then heated to a temperature of 331 k. what is the n
Naddika [18.5K]
V2 = 4.4579 L

Since pressure is constant, use Charle’s law.
Charles's law, a statement that the volume occupied by a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, if the pressure remains constant.

V(olume) 1 = V(olume) 2
————— —————
T(emperature) 1 T(emperature)2

4.00 L = V2
———- ———
297 K 331 K

Cross multiply
(4.00 L x 331 K) = (297 K x V2)
Simplify
1324 L/K = 297 K x V2
Isolate V2 by dividing out 297 K
1324 L/K = V2
————
297 K
(This cancels out the kelvin and leaves you with Liters as the volume measure)

V2 = 4.4579 L

How do you find a controlled variable
adelina 88 [10]

Hello there!


Essentially, a control variable is what is kept the same throughout the experiment, and it is not of primary concern in the experimental outcome. Any change in a control variable in an experiment would invalidate the correlation of dependent variables (DV) to the independent variable (IV), thus skewing the results.
