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.

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.

The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon's surface is

Molodets [167]

Answer:

50 lb

Explanation:

Given,

The weight of astronaut's life support backpack on Earth (w) = 300 lb

Acceleration due to gravity on Earth (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity on Moon = g'

$g'=\frac{g}{6}$

We know that weight of an object on Earth is,

$w = m\times g$

$m = \frac{w}{g}$

Similarly, weight on Moon will be

$w' = m\times g'$

$w' = \frac{w}{g}\times\frac{g}{6}$

$w' = \frac{300}{6}$

$w' = 50$

Thus the astronaut's life support backpack will weigh 50 lb on Moon.

What is a fixed volume

nasty-shy [4]

A fixed volume is where either a solid or liquid has a volume that is constant under the same pressure and temperature. A gas cannot have a fixed volume because it changes by itself without any human interaction.

Best of Luck!
