Why does a clear stream always appear to be shallower than it actually is?

2 answers:

6 0

Because you see the base of the steam from the surface of the water. This creates the effect of the stream bed being elevated to the surface. This happens in water because light travels slower in water than in a vacuum.

Refraction of light from a dense medium bends the ray away from the normal. As a result objects under water appear closer to the surface than is actually is.<span> </span>

A 0.450 kg soccer ball has a kinetic energy of 119 J.

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

V is approximately = 23m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = ½ mv²

Where m= mass = 0.450kg

V= velocity =?

K. E = 119J

Therefore

K. E = ½ mv²

Input values given

119= ½ × 0.450 × v²

Multiply both sides by 2

119 ×2 = 2 × 1/2 × 0.450 × v²

238= 0.450v²

Divide both sides by 0.450

238/0.450 = 0.450v²/0.450

v² = 528.89

Square root both sides

Sq rt v² = sq rt 528.89

V = 22.998m/s

V is approximately = 23m/s

4. A family leaves from New York City and is flying to Los Angles which is 2800mi away. It takes

Blizzard [7]

The average speed of the whole travel is equal to <u>400 mph</u>.

Why?

From the statement, we know that whole travel is divided into three parts. For the first part (traveling from New York to Chicago), we have that it was 3.25 hours and the covered distance was half of the total distance (1400mi). For the second part, we have that it was 1 hour (layover time), and the covered no distance. For the third part (traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles), we have that it was 2.75 hours, and it took the other half of the total distance (1400mi).

We can calculate the average speed of the whol travel using the following formula:

$AverageSpeed=\frac{distance_{1}+distance_{2}+distance_{3}}{time_{1}+time{2}+time_{3}}$

Now, substituting and calculating, we have:

$AverageSpeed=\frac{1400mi+0mi+1400mi}{3.25h+1h+2.75h}$

$AverageSpeed=\frac{2800mi}{7h}=400mph$

Hence, we have the average speed of the whole travel is equal to 400 mph.

Have a nice day!

If a substance is changing from a vapor to a liquid, like steam on a mirror, it is said to be _______.

NARA [144]

Answer:

condensing

Explanation:

Condensing is the word used to indicate the change of state of a substance from vapor to liquid, as in this case. During condensation, the substance releases thermal energy to the environment, therefore the kinetic energy of the molecules in the vapor decreases until they become closer to each other and they start to be affected by the intermolecular forces and so the substance becomes a liquid.
