What kind of light results when the total spectrum of refracted light is recombined? violet green white red?

ElenaW [278]

Hello
The final light will be white. In fact, each color of the visible spectrum is an electromagnetic wave with its own specific frequency and wavelength. White, instead, does not have a specific frequency: it is the sum of all the different wavelengths of the visible spectrum. Therefore, when recombining the spectrum of the refracted light all the different frequencies recombine together, and their sum gives white light.

A flywheel in a motor is spinning at 590 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 40.0 kg and diameter 75

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

Let's get the data for this question before proceeding to solve the problems.

Mass of flywheel = 40kg

Speed of flywheel = 590rpm

Diameter = 75cm , radius = diameter/ 2 = 75 / 2 = 37.5cm.

Time = 30s = 0.5 min

During the power off, the flywheel made 230 complete revolutions.

∇θ = [(ω₂ + ω₁) / 2] × t

∇θ = [(590 + ω₂) / 2] × 0.5

But ∇θ = 230 revolutions

∇θ/t = (530 + ω₂) / 2

230 / 0.5 = (530 + ω₂) / 2

Solve for ω₂

460 = 295 + 0.5ω₂

ω₂ = 330rpm

a)

ω₂ = ω₁ + αt

but α = ?

α = (ω₂ - ω₁) / t

α = (330 - 590) / 0.5

α = -260 / 0.5

α = -520rev/min

b)

ω₂ = ω₁ + αt

0 = 590 +(-520)t

520t = 590

solve for t

t = 590 / 520

t = 1.13min

60 seconds = 1min

X seconds = 1.13min

x = (60 × 1.13) / 1

x = 68seconds

∇θ = [(ω₂ + ω₁) / 2] × t

∇θ = [(590 + 0) / 2] × 1.13

∇θ = 333.35 rev/min

The average specific heat of the human body is 3.6 kJ/kg·°C. If the body temperature of a(n) 96-kg man rises from 37°C to 39°C d

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

691200 J

Explanation:

From specific heat capacity,

ΔQ = cmΔt.................. Equation 1

Where ΔQ = increase in thermal energy, c = specific heat capacity of the body, m = mass of the man, Δt = rise in temperature.

Given: c = 3.6 kJ/kg.°C = 3600 J/kg.°C, m = 96 kg, Δt = 39-37 = 2 °C.

Substitute into equation 1

ΔQ = 3600×96×2

ΔQ = 691200 J.

Hence the change in the thermal energy of the body = 691200 J

A child rides the train at Disneyland which takes him in a loop around the amusement park at a speed of 3 m/s. Which statement b

velikii [3]

The velocity is a vectorial quantity, whereas speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it depends on the direction!
As such, the velocity is changing because the direction is changing.

An engine flywheel initially rotates counterclockwise at 6.77 rotations/s. Then, during 23.9 s, its rotation rate changes to 3.5

olganol [36]

Answer:

-2.70 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given that

ω1 = initial angular velocity of the flywheel, which is 6.77 rev/s

If we convert it to rad/s, we have

(6.77 x 2π) rad/s = 13.54π rad/s

ω2 = final angular velocity of the flywheel = -3.51 rev/s,

On converting to rad/s also, we have

(-3.51 x 2π) rad/s = 7.02π rad/s

α = average angular acceleration of the flywheel = ?

Δt = elapsed time = 23.9 s

Now, using the formula, α = (ω2 - ω1)/Δt. On substituting, we have

α = (-7.02π rad/s - 13.54π rad/s)/23.9 s

α = -20.56π rad/s / 23.9 s

α = -64.59 rad/s / 23.9 s

α = -2.70 rad/s²

Therefore, the average angular acceleration of the flywheel is -2.70 rad/s²
