A person is lying on a diving board 3.50 m above the surface of the water in a swimming pool. She looks at a penny that is on th

e bottom of the pool directly below her. To her, the penny appears to be a distance of 5.00 m from her.

Answer:

1.995 m

Explanation:

Distance of penny as seen by the person = 5 m

Height of person from water surface = 3.50 m

Apparent depth of penny = 5 - 3.50 = 1.5 m

refractive index of water, n = 1.33

real depth / apparent depth = n

real depth = 1.33 x 1.5 = 1.995 m

Thus, the actual depth of water at that point is 1.995 m.

Mamont248 [21]

We'll look at two properties:

1. The variation in temperature

2. The material's heat transfer coefficient

By taking an example;

Use a circular rod made of a certain material (for example, steel) that is insulated all the way around.

One end of the rod is immersed in a huge reservoir of 100°C water, while the other is immersed in water  at 40°C. The cold water is kept in an insulated cylinder on both sides. The temp of the chilly water is measured using a meter as a time - dependent.

Conclusion of experiment;

  • Heat is transferred from a hot location to a cooler region.
  • Whenever heat is applied to a body, its thermal power rises, and its temperature rises.

A 400g sample of water absorbs 500j of energy. how did the water temperature change if the specific heat of water is 4.18j/g©. S
Mashutka [201]

In general, the quantity of heat energy, Q, required to raise a mass m kg of a substance with a specific heat capacity of <span>c </span>J/(kg °C), from temperature t1 °C to t2 °C is given by:

<span>Q </span>= <span>mc(t</span><span>2 </span><span>– t</span>1<span>) joules</span>

<span>So:</span>

(t2-t1) =Q / mc

<span>As we know:
Q = 500 J </span>

<span>m = 0.4 kg</span>

<span>c = 4180 J/Kg </span>°c

<span>We can take t1 to be 0</span>°c

t2 - 0 = 500 / ( 0.4 * 4180 )

t2 - 0 = 0.30°c

The main difference between a series and a parallel circuit is that
ale4655 [162]
C) is correct

series circuit - in the same path : current flow on one path so they are equal on each component and equal to the source's. voltage on each components may be different.

parallel circuit - between same nodes : voltage of the components are equal and equal to the source's. current on each components may be different.
