Why does the bottom of a swimming pool always appear shallower than it actually is​

Physics

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.

How far can a sound wave travel in 90 seconds when the ambient air temperature is 10 C?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the speed of sound at the given temperature. For this purpose we use the following formula:

v = v₀√[T/273 k]

where,

v = speed of sound at given temperature = ?

v₀ = speed of sound at 0°C = 331 m/s

T = Given Temperature = 10°C + 273 = 283 k

Therefore,

v = (331 m/s)√[283 k/273 k]

v = 337 m/s

Now, we use the following formula to calculate the distance traveled  by sound:

s = vt

where,

s = distance traveled = ?

t = time taken = 90 s

Therefore,

s = (337 m/s)(90 s)

<u>s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km</u>

Heat energy moves:_______.
steposvetlana [31]

c) only from warmer areas to colder areas.

The second principle of thermodynamics states that heat can only flow from a hotter body to a cooler one. Specifically, Clausius statement says that is not possible for heat to move by itself from a lower temperature body to a higher temperature body.

You drop two balls of equal diameter from the same height at the same time. Ball 1 is made of metal and has a greater mass than
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The drop time ball 1 is less than the drop time of ball 2. A further explanation is provided below.

Explanation:

The net force acting on the ball will be:

⇒ F_{net}=mg-F_r

Here,

F = Force

m = mass

g = acceleration

Now,

According to the Newton's 2nd law of motion, we get

⇒ F_{net} = ma

To find the value of "a", we have to substitute "F_{net}=ma" in the above equation,

⇒ ma=mg-F_r

⇒    a=g-\frac{F_r}{m}

We can see that, the acceleration is greater for the greater mass of less for the lesser mass. Thus the above is the appropriate solution.

The speed on a car speedometer. Is it speed or velocity? Explain Why
Sliva [168]
Velocity is a speed AND a direction.
When you turn a corner, or go around a curve in the road, your
direction changes, but the reading on the dial doesn't change.
So it can't be showing velocity.  It must be showing only speed.
That's probably a big part of the reason why it's called a speedometer
and not a velocimeter.
