REfraction of the rays coming from the object through the water and then being refracted into the air
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
4 0

The correct answer to the question is : Refraction.

EXPLANATION:

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand refraction.

Refraction is the optical phenomenon in which light rays are bent at the interface of the two media due to their optical density difference.

When light comes from optical rarer medium to optical denser medium, the rays are bent towards the normal at the point of incidence.

Similarly light rays bend away from the normal when they pass from optical denser medium to optical rarer medium.

As per the questions, the object is present inside the water.  The water is optically denser as compared to air. Hence, the light coming from the object is bent at the air-water interface due to refraction of light. That's why the  object is appeared to be bent.

Hence, the correct answer is refraction.

How many minutes of daylight do we gain after winter solstice
serg [7]

Answer:

Depends on which hemisphere you are belong to and how much distance you are away from Ecuador.

Explanation:

Minutes of daylight is equal on everywhere only on the equinox days (21 March and 23 September). On other days it depends on the place that you are belong to. On winter solstice, places on Ecuador have 12 hours daylight. North side of Ecuador have less, south side of Ecuador have more hour of daylight.

Your bedroom gets direct sunlight through a window during the hottest part of the day. You ask your mom to turn down the thermom
ycow [4]
I want to say its cooled by reflection because of the foil, sun reflects off of the foil back into the atmosphere. I don't think it's conduction because I have the foil on my windows and it's never warm to the touch. it's not a liquid so I don't believe it's convection. The foil reflects the radiation so I don't think it's b, c or d. so I wanna say A but I'm not 100% sure

The velocity of a car changes from 20 m/s east to 5 m/s east in 5 seconds. What is the acceleration of the car?
Klio2033 [76]
acceleration =  \frac{ v_{2}- v_{1}  }{t} = \frac{5-20}{5} =-3m/s^{2}

How does changing the lengthy but not the height of an inclined plane affect the work done to lift a load? PLZ HELP ME NOW'
Serhud [2]

Answer: Work Done would remain same.

Let us assume that the velocity is constant while taking the load up the inclined plane. Then, the kinetic energy would remain the same. This is because kinetic energy is dependent on velocity (K.E.=\frac{1}{2}mv^2). If that is constant, the kinetic energy would remain same. The potential energy is dependent on the height(P.E.=mgh). If the height is changed, then potential energy varies. In the question, it is mentioned that without changing the height, the length of the inclined plane is changed. Therefore, the potential energy would be same as before.

We know, work done is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy. Since there is no change in any of these, the required work done would not change.

Five properties of magnet​
Olenka [21]

Answer:

1. The magnet is magnetic and can attract iron articles.

2. The magnet has magnetic poles. Each magnet has two kinds of poles: N pole and S pole. They are in pairs.

3. Temporary magnet and permanent magnet: when the ferromagnetic material is magnetized, it is easy to lose the magnetic property, which is called temporary magnet (for example: iron); when the ferromagnetic material is magnetized, it is not easy to lose the magnetic property, which is called permanent magnet (for example: steel).

4. When two magnets are close to each other, the same poles will repel and push away from each other, and the different poles will attract and stick to each other. Therefore: the same pole repels each other, the different pole attracts each other.

5. The attraction of a magnetic object is called magnetism. An object is surrounded by a magnetic material. The area affected by the magnetic force is called the magnetic field.
