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

Physics

IgorLugansk [536]2 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.

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.

Let's cut through the weeds and the trash
and get down to the real situation:

                  A stone is tossed straight up at  5.89 m/s .
                  Ignore air resistance.


Gravity slows down the speed of any rising object by  9.8 m/s every second.
So the stone (aka Billy-Bob-Joe) continues to rise for

                     (5.89 m/s / 9.8 m/s²)  =  0.6 seconds.

At that timer, he has run out of upward gas.  He is at the top
of his rise, he stops rising, and begins to fall.

His average speed on the way up is  (1/2) (5.89 + 0) = 2.945 m/s .

Moving for 0.6 seconds at an average speed of  2.945 m/s,
he topped out at

                    (2.945 m/s) (0.6 s) =  1.767 meters above the trampoline.

With no other forces other than gravity acting on him, it takes him
the same time to come down from the peak as it took to rise to it.

   (0.6 sec up) + (0.6 sec down)  =  1.2 seconds until he hits rubber again.

A close coiled helical spring of round steel wire 10 mm diameter having 10 complete turns with a mean radius of 60 mm is subject
kow [346]

Answer:

The deflection of the spring is 34.56 mm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 10 mm

Number of turns = 10

Radius_{mean} = 60\ mm

Diameter_{mean} = 120\ mm

Load = 200 N

We need to calculate the deflection

Using formula of deflection

\delta=\dfrac{8pD^3n}{Cd^4}

Put the value into the formula

\delta=\dfrac{8\times200\times(120)^3\times10}{80\times10^{3}\times10^4}

\delta =34.56\ mm

Hence, The deflection of the spring is 34.56 mm.

On a horizontal surface is located
Ierofanga [76]

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on the object is 0, so that

<em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0

where <em>n</em> = magnitude of the normal force of the surface pushing up on the object, and <em>w</em> = weight of the object. Hence <em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>mg</em> = 196 N, where <em>m</em> = 20 kg and <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s².

The force of static friction exerts up to 80 N on the object, since that's the minimum required force needed to get it moving, which means the coefficient of <u>static</u> friction <em>µ</em> is such that

80 N = <em>µ</em> (196 N)   →   <em>µ</em> = (80 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.408

Moving at constant speed, there is a kinetic friction force of 40 N opposing the object's motion, so that the coefficient of <u>kinetic</u> friction <em>ν</em> is

40 N = <em>ν</em> (196 N)   →   <em>ν</em> = (40 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.204

And so the closest answer is C.

(Note: <em>µ</em> and <em>ν</em> are the Greek letters mu and nu)

A girl is sitting in a sled sliding horizontally along some snow (there is friction present). The mass of the girl is 29.8 kg an
jonny [76]

Answer:

28.81 m

Explanation:

Ff = -123

m * a  = -123

(29.8+10.3) * a = -123

a = -123/40.1 = -3.07

We know,

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

0^2 = 13.3^2 + 2*(-3.07)*s

s = 176.89/6.14 = 28.81

[ If there's a problem with the solution, pleaase let me know ]
