Answer:

Blue light has the shortest wavelength amongst all the colours that combine to make white light. This means the blue light diffracts (bends) the most out of all of them. There will be no dispersion of colours because ideally, the blue light must consist of only one frequency.

You are attempting to row across a stream in your rowboat. Your paddling speed relative to still water is 3.0 m/s (i.e., if you

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Please check the attached file for the diagram

Explanation:

The velocity of the of the rowboat $V_{tot}$ through the river is the resultant velocity. It is obtained taking a vector sum of the velocity in still water and the velocity of the river.

There are several ways to take this vector sum, but the question makes it simple for us to use Pythagoras's theorem because the East and North directions are perpendicular to each other.

Hence;

$V_{tot}^2=V_{still}^2+V_{w}^2\\V_{tot}^2=3^2+4^2$

$V_{tot}=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}\\ V_{tot}=\sqrt{25}=5m/s$

Represent 0.783 kg with Sl units having an appropriate prefix Express your answer to three significant figures and include the a

zysi [14]

Answer:

783 grams

Explanation:

Here mass is given in kg

Some of the prefixes of the SI units are

1 gram = 10⁻³ kilogram

1 milligram = 10⁻⁶ kilogram

1 microgram = 10⁻⁹ kilogram

1 nanogram = 10⁻¹² kilogram

The number is 0.783

Here, the only solution where the number of significant figures is three is gram. If any other prefix is chosen then the significant figures will increase

$1\ kilogram = 1000\ gram$
