An object seen in the water will usually appear to be at a different depth than it actually is, due to the refraction of light rays as they travel from the water into the air. This tutorial explores how fish, observed from the bank of a pond or lake, appear to be closer to the surface than they really are.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

37.34372 kg

Explanation:

m = Mass

\Delta T = Change in temperature

1 denotes water

2 denotes copper

c = Heat capacity

Heat is given by

Q=mc\Delta T

In this case the heat transfer will be equal

m_1c_1\Delta T_1=m_2c_2\Delta T_2\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{m_1c_1\Delta T_1}{c_2\Delta T_2}\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{95.7\times 4.18(24.2-22.7)}{0.39(65.4-24.2)}\\\Rightarrow m_2=37.34372\ kg

Mass of copper block is 37.34372 kg

A rock is dropped from the edge of a cliff into a pool of water. Assume free-fall acceleration is 10 m/s per second, and air res
il63 [147K]

Answer:

20 m

Explanation:

From the equation of motion,

S = ut+1/2gt²................................. Equation 1

Where S = Height, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Note: Because the rocked is being dropped from a height, acceleration due to gravity is positive (g), and initial velocity (u) is negative

Given: t = 2.0 s, g = 10 m/s², u = 0 m/s (dropped from height)

Substituting into equation 1

S = 0(2) + 1/2(10)(2)²

S = 5(4)

S = 20 m

Hence the height of the the cliff above the pool is 20 m
