Depth of a pond seems shallower than real depth,why?​

Physics
2 answers:
IgorLugansk [536]3 years ago

Answer:

The refraction of light at the surface of water makes ponds and swimming pools appear shallower than they really are. A 1m deep pond would only appear to be 0.75 m deep when viewed from directly above. When light emerges from glass or water into air it speeds up again.

Explanation:

Answer:

The property of light is the refraction of light because when light travels from a denser medium to rarer medium it bends away from the normal. The apparent depth of water is always less than the real depth of the water. Hence, water appears to be shallower than the real depth.

A 0.11 kg bullet traveling at speed hits a 18.3 kg block of wood and stays in the wood. The block with the bullet imbedded in it
arlik [135]

Explanation:

The energy of the system before the collision must equal the energy after the collision.

After the collision the bullet and the block have a total mass of 18.41 kg and they move at a speed of 8.8 m/s. The kinetic energy after the collision is

\frac{18.41 kg (8.8 m/s)^2}{2} = 713 J

Before the collision only the bullet has kinetic energy.

So we can now determine the speed of the bullet using

\frac{0.11kg (v^2)}{2} = 713 J\\v = 114 m/s

The scientific method is a process by which scientists: prove theories to be known facts gain confidence in theories by failing
mixer [17]

Answer:

The scientific method is the process by which scientists gain confidence in theories by failing to prove them wrong.

Explanation:

Scientific  method is a step by step process of creating and carrying out experiments. These processes to be performed are derived from logical and rational application  of knowledge concerning a particular subject matter. Through these processes, scientists reach a conclusion about the world, these makes them confident in their findings.

The steps involved in scientific method include:

Observation: it is the first step. It enables you organise in your mind how you want the experiment to.

HYPOTHESIS is the result you imagine you'll find.

PREDICTION is how you think about the scientific idea- It solely relies on the hypothesis made.

EXPERIMENT is used to test your hypothesis. It is the tool designed to check if your idea is right or wrong.

CONCLUSION is the final step. It is the result gotten from the experiment. It can approve the hypothesis or reject the hypothesis.

A theory is formed when hypothesis has been tested to be true by many scientists. Hence scientists gain confidence in theories when the scientific method is approved.

 A scientific theory is a well-approved explanation of an aspect of the natural world. The approval is based on thoroughly confirmed hypothesis and experiments carried out by many scientists.
