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.

At which temperature will water boil when the external pressure is 17.5 torr
ch4aika [34]
<span>The temperature of water will boil at one hundred degrees celsius when the external pressure is at 17.5 torr. Essentially, it is based off of the vaporizing of heat, as well as the gas constant. This is a matter of solving a physics equation and breaking down the factors that will affect the boiling point.</span>

Suppose a tank filled with water has a liquid column with a height of 10 meters. If the area is 2 square meters (2 m²), what's t
Vesna [10]

Answer:

196000 N

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Height (h) = 10 m

Area (A) = 2 m²

Force (F) =.?

Next, we shall determine the pressure in the tank.

This can be obtained as follow:

P = dgh

Where

P is the pressure.

d is the density of the liquid.

g is acceleration due to gravity

h is the height.

Height (h) = 10 m

Density (d) of water = 1000 kg/m³

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Pressure (P) =...?

P = dgh

P = 1000 × 9.8 × 10

P = 98000 N/m²

Therefore, the pressure acting on the tank is 98000 N/m²

Finally, we shall determine the force of gravity acting on the column of water as follow:

Area (A) = 2 m²

Pressure (P) = 98000 N/m²

Force (F) =.?

Pressure (P) = Force (F) /Area (A)

P = F /A

98000 = F/ 2

Cross multiply

F = 98000 × 2

F = 196000 N

Therefore, the force of gravity acting on the column of water is 196000 N

How much heat is released as a 5.89 kg block of aluminum cools from 462 °C to 315 °C. The specific heat capacity of aluminum is
s2008m [1.1K]
Mass, m = 5890g
Change in temperature, θ = Final_temperature - Initial_temperature
= 315 - 462°C
= -147°C

Specific heat capacity of aluminum, c = 0.900 J/(g*K) 
=mcθ
=5890g x 0.900 J/(g*K) x -147°C
=-779,247j

Answer would be C.
