Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

This happens because the water cancels the focusing effect of our eye lens. A drop of water makes a lens because of the different refractive indices of water and air.

When we are underwater with naked eyes,  the front part of our eye lens does not have different refractive indices anymore… both the  inside lens and outside lens are essentially water ( lens inside our eyes are water only surrounded by a membrane)… hence, that part of the lens does not focus the light anymore. And thus, your eyes don’t work  well anymore. (It can only partly correct for this, by bending the lens more)

When we put swimming goggles on, we remove the water and again have air in front of our eye lenses, and they work normally now. Obviously, we have created an extra interface between water and air in  front of our swimming goggles. However, this surface(the goggle) is flat. And thus it does not function as a lens but only as a window.

A horse pulls on an object with a force of 300 newtons and does 12,000 joules of work. How far was the object moved?
liubo4ka [24]
We know, work done = Force * displacement 
Here, w = 12,000 J
f = 300 N

Substitute their values into the expression:
12,000 = 300 * d
d = 12,000 / 300
d = 120/3
d = 40 m

In short, Your Answer would be 40 meters

Hope this helps!

Mr. Smith is designing a race where velocity will be measured. Which course would allow velocity to accurately get a winner?
REY [17]
Velocity is Displacement / Time

In order for Velocity to Accurately get a winner, you should be able to determine the race by looking at <em><u>How Far the competitors are from the starting point in the shortest amount of time

</u></em><u />so the answer should be something like : a 5 mile course from the center of the town  heading north to the outskirts of the town
