Answer:

30cm

Explanation:

assume that the eyes are substantially above the water so that sin(theta) is approximately theta.

( small angle approximation).

The point at which a ray leaving the fish hits the surface of the water is x to the side of the centreline and the depth of the water is d

x/d = sin( angle of incidence)

if the apparent depth of the water is h then

x/h = sin( angle of refraction)

and applying snells law

1 sin ( theta air) = 1.33 sin( theta water)

1 * x/h = 1.33 * x/d

d/h = 1.33

or h/d = 1/1.33

h/39 = 1.33

h = 39 /1.33 so that is the apparent depth of the stream assuming:-

1. Your eyes are almost directly overhead

and

2. your eyes are a significant distance above the surface of the water.

x/d = 1.33 x/h

h/d =39/1.3

= 30cm

At one point in the circuit, there is an LED and a resistor in parallel with one another. If you measure the voltage drop across
kifflom [539]

Answer:

C. The voltage drop across the resistor is 2.1V and nothing about the current through the resistor.

Explanation:

When connected in parallel, voltage across the resistances are the same. So if 2.1V was dropped across the LED then 2.1V was also dropped across the resistor. However, this tells us nothing about the current through the resistor. We can find the current across the resistor if we know the resistance of the resistor, but that's about it.

If it were a series connection, then the current would have been the same, but the voltage drop were another story.

Under what conditions can an object have forces acting on it, but its motion does not change ?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer: An object at rest has zero velocity - and (in the absence of an unbalanced force) will remain with a zero velocity. Such an object will not change its state of motion.

Explanation: I hoped that helped!!
