When you look vertically downwards into a swimming pool full of water the bottom of the pool seems closer to you than it really is. The apparent depth at this point can be worked out using the formula:

Apparent depth = Real depth/Refractive index of water

However as you look towards the end of the pool the bottom seems to curve upwards – we are thinking about a pool of constant depth to start with.


If the depth of the pool really does change then the situation becomes more complex and you would need to allow for that when drawing the diagram

A 1-kg collar (located at point (2,2) from the origin) is pulled along a vertical, frictionless bar with a force of 10 N applied
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The acceleration of the collar is 10 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the collar, m = 1 kg

applied force on the bar, F = 10 N

The acceleration of the collar can be calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

where;

F is the applied force

m is mass of the object

a is the acceleration

a = F / m

a = 10 / 1

a = 10 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the collar is 10 m/s²

8. The legs of a young man are each 0.650 meters long. What is his maximum walking speed?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

2.52 m/s

Explanation:

When the man takes a step, his foot is stationary while his body revolves around it.  At the point when his body is directly above his foot, there will be no normal force at his maximum speed.

Sum of the forces in the radial direction:

∑F = ma

mg = m v² / r

g = v² / r

v = √(gr)

Given that r = 0.650 m:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 0.650 m)

v = 2.52 m/s

Is static electricity more harmful than it is helpful or vice versa
Deffense [45]

Answer:

You might even see a spark if the discharge of electrons is large enough. The good news is that static electricity can't seriously harm you. Your body is composed largely of water and water is an inefficient conductor of electricity, especially in amounts this small. Not that electricity can't hurt or kill you.
