Assume this is 22 degrees from the horizontal (x).
A vector can always be split into components - in this case we can think of the world in two dimensions, meaning the 72ms-1 has a vertical and a horizontal component. We therefore know the hypotenuse of the triangle (the overall velocity) and the angle from the ground. Hence we can use trigonometry to solve this problem.

We know x and the hypotenuse, and we want to know the magnitude of the adjacent side (horizontal), therefore we can use cosx=adj/hyp

Substituting:

Cos(22) = adj/72
Adj = 72cos22 = 66.8ms-1 = 67ms-1 to 2sf

Which two possible explanations does the video give for why white light changes into colored light? Color is an impurity added t
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

White light contains seven colors, which are separated by the prism.

White light reacts with chemicals in the air to produce seven colors.

Explanation:

It was first observed by Sir Issac Newton, that when white light is passed through a prism, an elongated, coloured patch of light is obtained on a screen placed behind the prism. The seven colours obtained constitute the spectrum of white light.

In nature, white light is separated into its constituent wavelengths when white light interacts with substances in the atmosphere.
