When a splint is broken in half, it no longer provides the necessary support and stabilization to the injured limb. This can lead to improper healing, increased pain, and potential further injury. It is important to replace the broken splint with a new one to ensure proper immobilization and support.

Why does a pencil half submerged in water look broken?

When light passes through water into air, it changes speed and direction, causing refraction. This change in speed and direction can create an optical illusion that makes the pencil seem broken or bent at the water's surface.


Does an object's volume change when cut in half?

No, an object's volume remains the same when it is cut in half. The volume of an object is determined by its dimensions and does not change when it is divided into smaller pieces.


Why doesn't the temperature of the object change when cut in half?

When an object is cut in half, the temperature remains the same because cutting it does not add or remove heat from the system. The heat energy within the object is distributed evenly, so cutting it does not affect the total amount of heat energy present. Heat transfer occurs when there is a difference in temperature between two objects, so cutting an object in half does not alter its internal temperature.


When you put a pencil in a half filled glass of water why do it appear to be broken?

When light passes from air into water, it changes speed and direction due to the difference in density, causing the pencil to appear bent at the water's surface. This phenomenon is called refraction. Although the pencil isn't actually broken, the way light bends as it enters the water creates the illusion of a break due to the change in the medium.


How does the energy of a wave change when its amplitude is cut in half?

When the amplitude of a wave is cut in half, the energy of the wave decreases by a factor of four.
