Refraction. When light is distorted when going through a substance like water, it is being refracted.

The answer to the question is Refraction.

EXPLANATION:

The spoon half dipped inside the water is appeared to be bent. This is due to the optical phenomenon called refraction.

Refraction is the property of light by virtue of which light ray bends away or towards the normal at the point of incidence when it incidents obliquely at the refracting surface.

In the given figure, light rays are coming from air which is optically rarer medium as compared to water. So, the ray, after striking the air-water interface, gets bent towards the normal in the optically denser medium i.e water. It is so because the velocity of light in optically denser medium is less as compared to rarer medium.

We view the object due to the light. As light rays are bent, so the spoon is appeared to be bent.

The landing of a spacecraft is cushioned with the help of airbags. During its landing on Mars, the velocity of downward fall is

statuscvo [17]

You can use the impulse momentum theorem and just subtract the two momenta.
P1 - P2 = (16-1.2)(11.5e4)=1702000Ns
If you first worked out the force and integrated it over time the result is the same

Julio blows air across his hot bowl of soup. The tiny ripples he creates are similar to _____.

Allushta [10]

The tiny ripples on the soup are not only similar to wind-generated
waves ... they ARE wind-generated waves. This is a big part of the
reason why they bear such an uncanny resemblance.

If a girl is standing still and holding a box, is she doing any work? Why or why not?

sukhopar [10]

I beleive she isnt doing any work due to holding the box motionless, you must be exerting a force in the direction of the box motion. If she is just standing there holding the box their isn't no work becuase no distance has been covered. work = force = distance.
