Why do your legs appear shorter when standing in water

Physics
1 answer:
Effectus [21]3 years ago
8 0
It is because of refraction caused in water. There is difference in the medium between water and air so because of that refraction takes place. Due to this, a person’s legs appear to be shorter to our eyes. Hope this helps!

A 76 N crate is hung from a spring
lutik1710 [3]

Answer: 0.169 (3 s.f.)

Explanation:

Force = 76 N

Spring constant = 450 N/m

Extension/displacement = x

Hooke's law states that: F = kx

Therefore, 76 = 450 X x

76/450 = x

0.169 (3 s.f.) = x

The maximum wavelength an electromagnetic wave can have and still eject an electron from a copper surface is 264 nm .What is the
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

4.71 eV

Explanation:

For an electromagnetic wave with wavelength

\lambda=264 nm = 2.64\cdot 10^{-7} m

the energy of the photons in the wave is given by

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{2.64\cdot 10^{-7}m}=7.53\cdot 10^{-19} J

where h is the Planck constant and c the speed of light. Therefore, this is the minimum energy that a photon should have in order to extract a photoelectron from the copper surface.

The work function of a metal is the minimum energy required by the incident light in order to extract photoelectrons from the metal's surface. Therefore, the work function corresponds to the energy we found previously. By converting it into electronvolts, we find:

E=\frac{7.53\cdot 10^{-19} J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=4.71 eV

2. Combines,          (c) Harvesting and threshing

3. Silos,                   (b) Storage of grains

4. Seed drills,          (a) Sowing seeds

5. Irrigation,             (f) Sprinklers

6. Tilling,                  (e) Preparation of soil

Explanation:

1) Urea is a widely used and important fertilizer in the agricultural industry

2) The combine harvester combines three categories of harvesting grain drops such as threshing reaping and winnowing

3) Silos are used to store grains

4) A seed drill is a seed planting mechanism for burying seeds to a particular depth during seed planting

5) Irrigation is the application of required volume of water to plants

6) Tilling is the digging, turning, and staring operations meant to prepare the soil.
