Answer:

The refraction of light at the surface of water makes ponds and swimming pools appear shallower than they really are.

Explanation:

so its just the refraction of light at the surface

Answer:

The refraction of light at the surface of water makes ponds and swimming pools appear shallower than they really are. If you look at a stick that is poking into some water at an angle the stick looks bent because of refraction. The bottom of the stick seems to be nearer the surface of the water than it really is.

Can a vector be shorter than one of its components
Sauron [17]
It can never be shorter than a component - magnitude of avector is the square root of the sum of the components squared, and a square function never produces a negative number. However, it can be the same size as its component, if that component is the only one

Two forces act on a moving object that has a mass of 27 kg. One has a magnitude of 12 N and points due south, while the other ha
levacccp [35]

0.77 m/s2 directed 35° south of west

net force = (-17,-12)

net force = mass * acceleration

(-17,-12) = 27 * (x-acceleration,y-acceleration)

(x-acceleration,y-acceleration) = (-17/27,-12/27) = (-0.629629629..., -0.444...)

angle of acceleration = tan^-1 (-0.444.../-0.629629...) = 35.21759 degrees below negative x-axis.

magnitude of acceleration = sqrt((-0.629629...)^2 + (-0.444...)^2) = 0.77069 (5dp)

In a thunderstorm, electric charge builds up on the water droplets or ice crystals in a cloud. Thus, the charge can be considere
muminat

Answer:

2.1\cdot 10^{21} electrons

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field outside an electrically charged sphere is given by the equation

E=\frac{kQ}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Q is the charge stored on the sphere

r is the distance (from the centre of the sphere) at which the field is calculated

In this problem, the cloud is assumed to be a  charged sphere, so we have:

E_b=3.00\cdot 10^6 N/C is the maximum electric field strength tolerated by the air before breakdown occurs

r=1.00 km = 1000 m is the radius of the sphere

Re-arranging the equation for Q, we find the maximum charge that can be stored on the cloud:

Q=\frac{Er^2}{k}=\frac{(3.00\cdot 10^6)(1000)^2}{9\cdot 10^9}=333.3 C

Assuming that the cloud is negatively charged, then

Q=-333.3 C

And since the charge of one electron is

e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

The number of excess electrons on the cloud is

N=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{-333.3}{-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=2.1\cdot 10^{21}

After driving a portion of the route, the taptap is fully loaded with a total of 26 people including the driver, with an average
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

0.44807175m

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 4\times 10^{4}\ N/m (Assumed, as it is not given)

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Total mass is

m=26\times 67+3\times 15+5\times 3+25\\\Rightarrow m=1827\ kg

The total weight will balance the spring force

mg=kx\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{mg}{k}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1827\times 9.81}{4\times 10^{4}}\\\Rightarrow x=0.44807175\ m

The springs are compressed by 0.44807175m
