Answer:
Because each color is refracted differently, each bends at a different angle, resulting in a fanning out and separation of white light into the colors of the spectrum.
Answer:
Explanation:
Force is the change in momentum over time
F = Δp/Δt
1. Calculate the change in momentum
p₁ = mv₁ = 1000 kg × 10 m/s = 10 000 kg·m·s⁻¹
p₂ = 0
Δp = p₂ - p₁= (0 - 10 000) kg·m·s⁻¹ = -10 000 kg·m·s⁻¹
2. Calculate the force

Answer:
Basic kinematics, negating drag and assuming ideal conditions, we use the equation:
d=vi*t+1/2*a*t^2
Since vi is 0 (we know this because you’re dropping it, not throwing it)…
…and the only acceleration acting on it is gravity, a=9.8 m/s^2…
…we get
d=1/2(9.8)(5)^2
Explanation:
Some quick mental math tells us that this is about 125 m.
Plugging it in, we find it to be 122.5 m.
