Answer:

RERFACTION

Explanation:

Yes this happen and this is because of phenomena known as refraction.

Refraction is an phenomena in which light waves deflect from their original direction of propagation after passing through other medium of different refractive index.

Or we can also say that, it is the bending of light when its passes through medium of different refractive index.

Now, in this situation as the person is looking towards his legs from the air downwards , so here the light entering in his eyes passes through two mediums which are water and air.

So as he see his upper body which is above water and light through it only passes through one medium and no bending occurs and everything seems to be normal but, as he looks his legs light passing through his legs to his eyes passes through two different medium and bending of that light occur and our legs seems to be bend with respect to our upper body and all this is due to refraction.

On the Newtonian theory of gravity, gravitation affects anything with mass. Assuming that none of the answer choices is the only thing that exists in the universe, all of the answer choices are subject to the law of universal gravitation (hence “universal”).

Satellites, water, frogs, and stars all have mass as they are all composed of matter. Thus, all four answer choices should be circled.

Does it take more force to slow something down than to speed it up.
ANTONII [103]
To bring something to a stop the same force that was applied to speed it up can be used to stop it. If a greater force is used it will stop quicker.

Masja [62]

According to the kinetic molecular theory, the pressure of a gas in a container will increase if the number of collisions with the container wall increases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Keeping the volume of the vessel constant, if we increase the amount of gas in it; the pressure will increase. This is because when the number of gas particles increases in that limited volume, they hit the walls of the container with more energy and hence, the overall pressure of the gas increases.

If we decrease the amount of gas in the vessel or increase the volume for the same amount of gas, the pressure decreases. As the pressure inside the vessel depends upon the gas supplied in the container.

A professional cyclist rides a bicycle that is 92 percent efficient. For every 100 joules of energy he exerts as input work on t
emmainna [20.7K]
Efficiency =  Work Output / Work Input

92%  =  Work Output / 100

0.92 =   Work Output / 100

Work Output = 0.92 * 100

Work Output  = 92 joules.
