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!

What is the effective resistance of this dc circuit
Inessa05 [86]

You've managed somehow to post the mirror image of the circuit diagram, including the numbers and values of the resistors.  I'm curious to know how you did that.

The three resistors at the left end of the diagram are  3Ω ,  2Ω , and  1Ω  all in series.  They behave like a single resistor of  (3+2+1) = 6Ω .

That  6Ω  resistor is in parallel with the  2Ω  drawn vertically in the middle of the diagram.  That combination acts like a single resistor of  1.5Ω  in that position.

Finally, we have that  1.5Ω  resistor in series with  1Ω  and  4Ω  .  That series combination behaves like a single resistor of  <em>6.5Ω</em>  across the battery V.

A car leaves an intersection traveling west. Its position 4 sec later is 21 ft from the intersection. At the same time, another
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

15.8 ft/s

Explanation:

\frac{da}{dt} = Velocity of car A = 9 ft/s

a = Distance car A travels = 21 ft

\frac{db}{dt} = Velocity of car B = 13 ft/s

b = Distance car B travels = ft

c = Distance between A and B after 4 seconds = √(a²+b²) = √(21²+28²) = √1225 ft

From Pythagoras theorem

a²+b² = c²

Now, differentiating with respect to time

2a\frac{da}{dt}+2b\frac{db}{dt}=2c\frac{dc}{dt}\\\Rightarrow a\frac{da}{dt}+b\frac{db}{dt}=c\frac{dc}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=\frac{a\frac{da}{dt}+b\frac{db}{dt}}{c}\\\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=\frac{21\times 9+28\times 13}{\sqrt{1225}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=15.8\ ft/s

∴ Rate at which distance between the cars is increasing three hours later is 15.8 ft/s
