What makes a pole seem to bend when you put it in a glass of water?

The reason for the pole appearing bent when put inside a glass of water is refraction. When a ray of light travels through one medium to the other, it tends to bend or deviate from its original path. Thus a light ray in this case, travels from the air through water, and then again through air and reach the eyes. Thus, the light ray deviates from its original path causing this phenomenon.

In which part of the magnet are magnetic forces strongest?
The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center
Do you have to have a flex pole to bend your pole in pole vault?
yes or else you'll fail
Which describes the relationship between potential and kinetic energy when a pole vaulter's pole has reached its maximum bend point?
When a pole vaulter's pole reaches its maximum bend point all the energy if the system is being stored as potential energy in the pole. Etotal = PE + KE. At this point KE is 0 so PE=Etotal. However, as the pole straightens out again, the stored PE is released as KE.
What makes the water molecule polar?
a water molecule is polar because their is an uneven distributive of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms. the negative pole is near the oxygen atom and the positive pole is between the hydrogen atoms.
