The correct answer is B (Inertia)

We define inertia as the resistance to change of the state of motion. That is, a body tends to remain in its state of motion or rests unless an external for acts on it. The quantity depends on the mass of the body. If the body is heavy, it requires a large force to overcome the inertia.

Does the refraction of light make a swimming pool seem deeper or shallower? explain your answer.
larisa [96]

The refraction of light makes a swimming pool seem <u>shallower</u>.

The swimming pool seems shallower because the rays of light coming from the bottom of the pool do not come with a straight path. The path of light is straight as long as it is in the water.

When lights come out of the water into the air it bents downwards. This bending is called refraction.

Refraction forms a virtual image of the pool and it seems shallower than it actually is to the observer. This only happens when light travels from one transparent medium into another having lower density.

The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170 m on a day when its temperature is 35.0°C. What will the change in i
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m

Explanation:

Thermal coefficient of marble varies between (5.5 - 14.1) ×10⁻⁶/K = α

So, let us take the average value

(5.5+14.1)/2 = 9.8×10⁻⁶ /K

Change in temperature = 35-(-18) = 53 K = ΔT

Original length = 170 m = L

Linear thermal expansion

\frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\frac{\alpha\Delta T}{L}\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=9.8\times 10^{-6}\times 53\times 170

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m (subtraction because of cooling)

The amount of friction divided by the weight of an object forms a unit less number called the
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction.

Explanation:

The amount of friction divided by the weight of an object is equal to the coefficient of friction. It is a dimensional less number. It can be given by :

F=\mu N

N is normal force.

\mu = coefficient of friction

\mu=\dfrac{F}{N}

A ball is falling at terminal velocity. Terminal velocity occurs when the ball is in equilibrium and the forces are balanced. Wh
Greeley [361]

Answer:

A free body diagram with 2 forces: the first pointing downward labeled F Subscript g Baseline 20 N and the second pointing upward labeled F Subscript air Baseline 20 N.

Explanation:

This is because at terminal velocity, the ball stops accelerating and the net force on the ball is zero. For the net force to be zero, equal and opposite forces must act on the ball, so that their resultant force is zero. That is F₁ + F₂ = 0 ⇒ F₁ = -F₂

Since F₁ = 20 N, then F₂ = -F₁ = -20 N

So, if F₁ points upwards since it is positive, then F₂ points downwards since it is negative.

So, a free body diagram with 2 forces: the first pointing downward labeled F Subscript g Baseline 20 N and the second pointing upward labeled F Subscript air Baseline 20 N best describes the ball falling at terminal velocity.
