Answer: Behind you

Explanation:

The edge of the pool is the boundary of two different mediums-air and water. the light from coin would bend away from the normal at the interface of the two mediums before reaching the eyes. It means the coin would be closer than expected position and hence on reaching the bottom, the coin would be found behind you.

A 10 kg mass rests on a table. What acceleration will be generated when a force of 5 N is applied? a 0.5 m/s2 b 3.5 m/s2 c 5 m/s
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a= 0.5m/s^2

Explanation:

Force applied on an object is known as

F=m.a  (Newton's second law states it)

a=F/m

a=5/10=0.5m/s^2

Block A, with a mass of 4.0 kg, is moving with a speed of 2.0 m/s while block B , with a mass of 8.0 kg, is moving in the opposi
Anon25 [30]
Consider velocity to the right as positive.

First mass:
m₁ = 4.0 kg
v₁ = 2.0 m/s to the right

Second mass:
m₂ = 8.0 kg
v₂ = -3.0 m/s to the left

Total momentum of the system is
P = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
   = 4*2 + 8*(-3)
  = -16 (kg-m)/s

Let v (m/s) be the velocity of the center of mass of the 2-block system.

Because momentum of the system is preserved, therefore
(m₁+m₂)v= -16
(4+8 kg)*(v m/s) = -16 (kg-m)/s
v = -1.333 m/s

Answer:
The center of mass is moving at 1.33 m/s to the left.
