The tip of a triangle is held 12.0 cm above the surface of a flat pool of water. A submerged swimmer in the pool sees the tip of

the triangle at what distance above the water? Let the indices of refraction nwater = 1.33 and nair = 1.00.

Answer: 9cm

Explanation:

Refractive index can also be defined as the ratio of the real depth to the apparent depth.

Given that the

Real depth = 12 m

Refractive index of water = 1.33

Refractive index of air = 1.00

nair/nwater = real depth/apparent depth

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

1.33/1 = 12/ apparent depth

Cross multiply

1.33 Apparent depth = 12

Apparent depth = 12/1.33

Apparent depth = 9.02 cm

Therefore,  A submerged swimmer in the pool sees the tip of the triangle at 9cm approximately distance above the water.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

S = V0 t + 1/2 a t^2

S = 5 m/s * 300 s + 1/2 * 1.2 m/s * (300 s^2)

S = 1500 m + .6 * 90000 m = 55,500 m

Check:     V0 = 5 m/s

                V2 = V0 + a t  = 5 + 1.2 * 300 = 365 m/s

Vav = (V1 + V2) / 2 = (5 + 365) / 2 = 185 m/s     (note uniform motion)

S = 185 * 300 = 55,500 m

We calculated V2 above at 365 m/s  the speed after 300 sec

1. A force acting on an object in the upward direction is 3 N. The force that would
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

We must perform a sum of forces on the body, that sum of forces is equal to zero. That is, the body is in balance and does not move.

ΣF = 0

3 - 3 = 0

This force is negative and acts by pointing downwards.

A 50 kg person receives an absorbed dose of gamma radiation of 20 millirads. What is the total energy absorbed?.
Masteriza [31]

For a 50 kg person receives an absorbed dose of gamma radiation of 20 millirads,  the total energy absorbed is mathematically given as

E=0.1457J

<h3>What is the total energy absorbed?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the total energy absorbed  is mathematically given as

E=mass*gamma radiation

Therefore

E=50*20*19^{-3}

E=0.1457J

In conclusion,  the total energy absorbed

E=0.1457J

Magnesium is a shiny, flexible metal that can be burned in the presence of air.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

A new substance was formed

Explanation:

According to this question, a shiny and flexible metal called Magnesium (Mg) is burnt in air to produce a white powder that has no shiny or flexible properties, however, has more weight than the magnesium metal itself.

This is possible because a CHEMICAL CHANGE has occured, hence, a new substance has been formed. The formation of a new substance during the burning process (chemical reaction), induced the increase in mass.
