Answer:

C) Index of refraction

Explanation:

Index of refraction also known as refractive index is defined as speed of light in a vacuum divided by the speed of light in a given material.

The formula for Index of refraction is:

n = c ÷ v

where n represents Index of refraction,

c represents speed of light in a vacuum,

v represents speed of light in a given material.

The speed and direction of light changes when it moves from one medium to another. The change in direction is basically called refraction.

Tems11 [23]

I notice that even though we're working with frames of reference
here, you never said which frame the '5 km/hr' is measured in.

In fact !  You didn't even say which frame the '12 km/hr' of his
bike is measured in.

So there are several different ways this could go.  I'll do it the way
I THINK you meant it, but that doesn't guarantee anything.

-- Simon is riding his bike at 12 km/hr relative to the sidewalk,
away from Keesha.

-- He throws a ball at Keesha, at 5 km/hr relative to his own face.

-- Keesha sees the ball approaching her at (12 - 5) = 7 km/hr
relative to the ground and to her.

Mkey [24]

According to Newton's second Law of motion, if the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration is 1m/s².

<h3>How to calculate acceleration?</h3>

The acceleration of a moving body can be calculated by dividing the force of the body by its mass.

According to this question, the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration can be calculated as follows:

acceleration = 10N ÷ 10kg

acceleration = 1m/s²

Therefore, according to Newton's second Law of motion, if the mass of an object is 10 kg and the force is 10 newtons, then the acceleration is 1m/s².

Using evidence from the article, defend the concept that Earth’s magnetic poles have swapped places over time.
Mamont248 [21]

Answer: Scientists found evidence of Earths magnetic field reversal in rocks on the ocean floor at plate boundaries. These rocks have alternating polarity due to magnetization that occurred during their cooling period. Using radio metric dating, scientist estimate that reversals occur approximately every several hundred thousand years.
