Answer:

2.5 cm

Explanation:

Using the relation :

Refractive index = Real Depth / Apparent depth

Refractive index = 1.6

Real depth = 4cm

Virtual depth = apparent depth = x

1.6 = 4cm / x

1.6x = 4

x = 4 / 1.6

x = 2.5

Hence, virtual depth = 2.5cm

k0ka [10]

Answer:

mechanical energy

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is the combination of both potential energy and kinetic

Mechanical energy can be divided as

1)kinetic energy, this energy vis regarded as the energy of motion

2) potential energy which is the stored energy of position.

Mechanical energy reffered to as

motion energy this energy is responsible for the movement of an object based on its position as well as motion.

Mechanical energy= U + K

Where U= potential energy

K= Kinectic energy

As the tire is sitting on top of a ramp, it posses "potential energy" as it is released and rolls down the ramp the potential is converted to Kinectic energy
