Answer:

<u>because of the process of refraction of light.</u>

Explanation:

Note, the term refraction refers to the process which results in the <em>bending of light </em>as it passes through a medium. This bending of light can make objects become magnified (or larger), or even smaller.

In this scenario, as the light passes slowly through water it affects how we perceive the objects (the words on the paper) behind the jar (more likely a glass jar). In other words, the light combined with the water refracts (changes direction of) the lights our eyes can see, making the letters seem to change size.

How can you increase the amount of work done when you lift a book explain
Gnoma [55]
<h2>Work done = mgh </h2>

Explanation:

  • In this case, while lifting the book we are working against the force of gravity.

Using the Newton's laws, we can find the force F required for lifting the book having mass (m) and acceleration due to gravity (g) that is ;

  • F = mg

and, the change in the position of the book that is Δx (Height)

→ Δx = Final position - Initial position

which is only the height, then the amount of work done will be calculated by :

W= mgh

  • Where W = Work Done

m = Mass of the Body

g = Acceleration due to Gravity

h = Height of Body being displaced

Isn’t urgent the first 3 will be marked BRAINIEST
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Al2(SO4)3 and Mg(OH)2

Explanation:

1. Al has a charge of 3-, and SO4 of 2-

when you cross multiply the charges you get

Al2 and (SO4)3

*the reason theres a bracket around the sulfate ion is that the charge 3 is not for oxygen only, but the entire sulphate ion*

Hence, Al2(SO4)3

2. Mg has a charge of 2- and OH of 1-

again cross multiply

Mg (you dont need to add the 1) and (OH)2

again, the bracket around OH means the charge appiles to Oxygen AND hydrogen

hence, Mg(OH)2
