The picture below shows a spoon in a glass of water. Why does the spoon appear bent?

• the light waves are refracted as they change speed when they pass from the water to the air

• the light waves are reflected as they change speed when they pass from the water to the air

• the light waves are absorbed when they pass from the water to the air

• the light waves bounce off of the water

A student rolled four toy cars down the same ramp and recorded his data in a table. Which statement best explains the data?

• Car 3 traveled the greatest distance because it had the greatest mass.
