Answer:

volume of water is 1066.50 acre feet

Explanation:

given data

dia = 2 in = 0.166 feet

area = 26 km² = 26 × 247.105 acre = 6424.73 acre

to find out

volume of water

solution

we know volume of water is express as

volume = area × dia     ....................1

put here value in equation 1

volume = 6424.73 acre × 0.166 feet

volume = 1066.50

so volume of water is 1066.50 acre feet

At which angle must a laser beam enter the water for no refraction to occur?
abruzzese [7]

Light that enters the new medium <em>perpendicular to the surface</em> keeps sailing straight through the new medium unrefracted (in the same direction).

Perpendicular to the surface is the "normal" to the surface. So the angle of incidence (angle between the laser and the normal) is zero, and the law of refraction (just like the law of reflection) predicts an angle of zero between the normal and the refracted (or the reflected) beam.

Moral of the story:  If you want your laser to keep going in the same direction after it enters the water, or to bounce back in the same direction it came from when it hits the mirror, then shoot it <em>straight on</em> to the surface, perpendicular to it.

Why do astronomers believe that triton is a captured moon?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer: Accoding to research "Triton is unique among all the large moons in the solar system because it orbits Neptune in a direction opposite to the planet's rotation (a "retrograde" orbit). It is unlikely to have formed in this configuration and was probably captured from elsewhere."
