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

Explain what a concentration gradient is and what it means for a molecule to diffuse down its
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

Explanation:

A gradient of concentration is the difference between in concentration of one place / area substance to different area. Having a molecule flow down its concentration gradient means moving the molecules from hypotonic areas to the concentration hypertonic areas

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 0.10 km high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 65 m horizontally
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

given,

height of building = 0.1 km

ball strikes horizontally to ground at = 65 m    

speed at which the ball strike = ?

vertical velocity  = 0 m/s

time at which the ball strike

s = \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 100}{9.8}}

t = 4.53 s

vertical velocity at the time  4.53 s = g × t = 9.8 × 4.53 = 44.39 m/s

horizontal velocity = \dfrac{65}{4.53} =14.35 m/s

speed of the ball = \sqrt{44.39^2+14.35^2}

                             = 46.65 m/s

hence, the speed of the ball just before it strike the ground = 47 m/s

The correct answer is option B

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are different theories and evidence about the big bang, in this case, we're going to see three evidence.

The galaxies are moving from us, this means space is expanded, this in consequence Big Bang's explosion.

The cosmic microwave background radiation is related to the early warmth of the universe.

The observed abundance of hydrogen, helium, deuterium, lithium, these are checked from the spectra of the oldest stars.
