-- The lenses of eyeglasses work because of refraction.

-- A pencil standing in a half-glass of water looks broken because of refraction.

-- The lenses and mirrors in telescopes and microscopes work because of refraction.

-- When the sun is setting and it looks squashed ... shorter and wider than a true circle ... that's caused by refraction of the sunlight through Earth's atmosphere.

What is the modern<br> Jatomic theory?
torisob [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The modern atomic theory has given by "John Dalton and framed postulates".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The fundamental role of atoms in chemistry is established by the modern theory of atoms mentioned in 1808 for the first time by an English scientist named John Dalton. This consists of three sections such as all matter is composed of atoms, atoms of the same element are the same while atoms of different elements are different, atoms combine to form compounds in full-number ratios.

The unique characteristic of the "number of protons" is that all atoms of the same compound share. While the atoms of the same element i.e having a similar number of protons can have different numbers of neutrons and such elements are called isotopes.

How much force is needed to lift a 25-kg mass at a constant verlocity?
Troyanec [42]

-- In order to achieve constant verlocity, the net force on the mass must be zero.  So if there ARE any forces acting on it, they must be balanced.

-- There is already a force on the mass that can't be eliminated . . . the force of gravity.

-- That force due to gravity is (mass x gravity) = (25 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = <em><u>245N</u></em> in the <u><em>downward</em></u> direction.

-- In order to 'balance' the forces and make them add up to zero, we have to provide another force of <em>245N</em>, all in the <em>upward</em> direction.

-- Then the forces on the object will be balanced, the NET force on it will be zero, and whichever way you start it moving, it will continue to move at a cornstant verlocity.

A bucket filled woth water seems light while it sinks into water.Also show their relation using formula
slavikrds [6]

Answer: This phenomenon happens due to upthrust exerted by water.

Explanation:

We know that,

Liquid Pressure is directly proportional to the height of the vertical column in the liquid.(P∝h)

When a bucket filled water is sunk into the water container, there occur difference in the pressure in top and bottom of the water container. Due to this, water exerts an upward force on the bucket filled with water. This is called Uprthrust.

Upthrust on the bucket makes the bucket filled with water lose some of it's weight and causes apparent loss in weight.

Hence, the bucket filled with water seems light while it sinks into water.
