If the liquid is denser than the coin, then the coin will eventually
come to rest floating, with part of it above the surface of the liquid.
That's exactly the situation if you drop the coin into mercury.
Density of copper . . . 8.96 gm/cm³
iron . . . 7.87
zinc . . . 7.13
silver . . 10.5
nickel . . .8.91
lead . . . 11.4
Density of mercury . . . 13.53 gm/cm³ !
The apparent shift <span>is the apparent in the position of an object when viewed from two locations.

Do you know the distance?
Answer:
Acceleration is the change in velocity over the change in time = Δv/Δt. To do these problems, you need to find out how much the speed changed and over what period of time it changed.
Snail 1 changes from 4 cm/min to 7 cm/min in 3 minutes. Subtract the starting velocity (4 cm/min) from the ending velocity (7 cm/min) then divide by the time (3 min):
Snail 1 = (7 cm/min. - 4 cm/min)/(3 minutes) = ? (remember to put down the units)
Snail 2 changed from 7 cm/min. down to 1 cm/min. in 3 minutes
Snail 2 = (1 cm/min. - 7 cm/min.)/(3 min.) = ? (note that the acceleration is negative when you slow down)
I hope this helps you
