The refraction of light makes a swimming pool seem <u>shallower</u>.

The swimming pool seems shallower because the rays of light coming from the bottom of the pool do not come with a straight path. The path of light is straight as long as it is in the water.

When lights come out of the water into the air it bents downwards. This bending is called refraction.

Refraction forms a virtual image of the pool and it seems shallower than it actually is to the observer. This only happens when light travels from one transparent medium into another having lower density.

Lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.20 kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

B) 20N.s is the correct answer

Explanation:

The formula for the impulse is given as:

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in speed

Impulse = m × ΔV

Given:

initial speed = 40m/s

Final speed = -60 m/s (Since the the ball will now move in the opposite direction after hitting the bat, the speed is negative)

mass = 0.20 kg

Thus, we have

Impulse = 0.20 × (40m/s - (-60)m/s)

Impulse = 0.20 × 100 = 20 kg-m/s or 20 N.s

An object of mass m is traveling in a circle with centripetal force Fc. If the velocity of the object is v, what is the radius o

borishaifa [10]

Hi there!

Recall the equation for centripetal force:
$F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

We can rearrange the equation to solve for 'r'.

Multiply both sides by r:
$r * F_c = mv^2$

Divide both sides by Fc:
$\boxed{ r= \frac{mv^2}{F_c}}$

Convert 0.700 atm of pressure to its equivalent in millimeters of mercury.

inna [77]

Answer:

532 millimeters of mercury

Explanation:

In order to convert the pressure from atm to millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), we should remind the conversion factor between the two units:

1 atm = 760 mm Hg

Therefore, we can solve the problem by setting up the following proportion:

$1 atm : 760 mmHg = 0.700 atm : x$

Solving for x, we find

$x=\frac{(760 mmHg)(0.700 atm)}{1 atm}=532 mmHg$
