Answer:

hop it helps

Explanation:Proxima Centauri is a small, low-mass star located 4.244 light-years (1.301 pc) away from the Sun in the southern constellation of Centaurus. Its Latin name means the "nearest [star] of Centaurus". This object was discovered in 1915 by Robert Innes and is the nearest-known star to the Sun. With a quiescent apparent magnitude of 11.13, it is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. Proxima Centauri is a member of the Alpha Centauri system, being identified as component Alpha Centauri C, and is 2.18° to the southwest of the Alpha Centauri AB pair. It is currently 12,950 AU (0.2 ly) from AB, which it orbits with a period of about 550,000 years.

What derived unit is used to measure the slope of the line in this graph?
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

C. g/cm³

Explanation:

The slope is measured by calculating the variation of the Y values over the X values between two points on a line.  

So, the formula is: Slope = Δy/Δx

That means that we also take the units.

In this case, the Y-axis unit is in g, while the X-axis unit is in cm³.

Dividing a Y-variation over an X-variation will give you g/cm³.

In this case, let's assume the line passes through (10,100) (not exactly, but close enough for the example), and it passes through (0,0)

So the slope would be: (100-0) g / (10-0) cm³ = 10 g/cm³

Which of the following represent units of an electric field? select all that apply
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Volts/Meter

Newtons/Coulomb

Explanation:

Volts/ Meter and Newtons/Coulomb both are same and the units of Electric field intensity or electric field strength.

Electric field strength E is the force per unit charge. It is measured in Newton/Coulomb in SI unit. It is a vector quantity directed in the direction of force.

Mathematically,

           Electric field strength = Force/Charge

                                           E = F / q₀

                                               = Newton / Coulomb = NC⁻¹             1

We know that

                         Newton = Joule/meter            2

Also

                           Volt = Joule/Coulomb             3

So put 3 in 2 we get

                          Newton = (Volt Coulomb)/meter       put in 1

   

                            E =  (Volt Coulomb)/(meter Coulomb)

                               = Volt / meter

Hence

                  Newton / Coulomb = Volt / meter

Knowing that the speed of light in the vitreous humor is 2.1 × 108 m/s, what is the index of refraction of the vitreous humor? (
shusha [124]

Answer:

   n = 1,429

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to calculate the refractive index, it is a constant that depends on the wavelength and relates the behavior of light when passing through two different material media.

The refractive index of a material is given by

         n = c / v

where n is the refractive index, c the speed of light and v the speed in the material medium

let's calculate

         n = 3.0 108 / 2.1 108

         n = 1,429
