What else can I help you with?
Why do legs look shorter when you are standing in water?
When you stand in water, the light passing from air to water changes direction due to refraction, making objects appear closer and larger than they actually are. This magnification effect makes the lower part of your legs underwater appear shorter than they really are, creating the illusion that your legs are shorter than when they are out of the water.
Why do a persons legs appear shorter in water?
When a person is in water, refraction of light occurs due to the different density of air and water. This creates an optical illusion that makes the legs appear shorter than they actually are.
Why do the girls legs appear shorter in the water?
because they are fat and skinny
Why do legs appear shorter in the water?
Refraction. The interface of water and air bends the light, which gives you a different perspective.
Why does person's legs appear shorter under the swimming pool?
Due to refraction. :p It makes you perceive that the persons legs are shorter. To think this is all to do with the simple distortion of mediums :)Sources: My year 8 science class.
Why horse faster than crocodile?
They are. Water buffalo are heavier with shorter legs.
What animal lives on top of the water that is a scavenger?
A creature of the water's surface is the water strider. It uses the surface tension of the water and its long legs to actually walk on the surface.
What property of the structure of water allows water spiders to walk across the surface of a pond?
it is when water molecules in the water form a 'wall'.Pond skaters have legs that spread out away from their bodies, lowering the pressure exerted by their weight and not breaking the surface tension of the water
How can a mosquito walk on water?
There are several insects that can walk on water due to the water's surface tension. There are over 300 species of water striders that are able to walk on water, as well as several species of ant.
When you do cartwheels will your legs get shorter?
No
How can a water strider effectively walk on water?
A water strider can effectively walk on water due to its long, thin legs and the surface tension of the water. The water strider's legs are covered in tiny hairs that help distribute its weight and prevent it from breaking the water's surface tension. This allows the water strider to stay on top of the water and move quickly across its surface.
What would be a good sentence for surface tension?
The daddy long legs relies on the water's surface tension.
