Based on the given, this is probably a gravitational potential energy problem (PEgrav). The formula for PEgrav is:

PEgrav = mgh

Where:
m = mass (kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height (m)

With this formula you can derive the formula for your unknown, which is mass. First put in what you know and then solve for what you do not know.

$PEgrav=mgh$
$30J=m(10)(10[tex] \frac{30}{100} =m$ )[/tex]

Do operations that you can with what is given first.

$30J=m(100m)$

Transpose the 100 to the other side of the equation. Do not forget that when you transpose, you do the opposite operation.

$\frac{30}{100} =m$

m = 0.30kg

Well it depends on what kind of liquid, some liquids if you heat it up itll turn into a solid, but most just turn into a gas

Clarify the concept of refrection index with example

Degger [83]

The refractive index is used to measure how much light bends as it goes from one medium to another the refractive index of air =1 as light doesn’t bend in it

When looking into a glass of water with a straw the straw may appear bent or morphed as the water has a different refractive index to air (and the light is passing from air to glass of water)
