Answer:

The color that is refracted the most has the shortest wavelength

Explanation:

The warmer colors (yellow to red) have shorter wavelengths and the colder (green to violet) shorter wavelengths. Bearing in mind that light is radiant energy, the shorter the wavelength, the greater the frequency and the greater the amount of energy, allowing colors with shorter wavelengths to be more refracted.

The light can reflect in several ways but it follows a law: the angle of incidence is the same as the starting angle. If the light reflects on a perfectly smooth surface, such as in a mirror (which is glass with a silver film), the light will be reflected exactly as it did. That is why we see an image totally faithful in form and color when we see ourselves in the mirror. But if the object is not smooth, it will reflect part of the incident light and absorb the rest. The illumination of this object will reveal only its own color, shape, texture and not the image of a reflection. Black objects absorb light completely and white objects reflect it completely. The colorful visual sensation of objects, in fact, is the detection and perception of the wavelength that they are reflecting.

The color that is refracted the most has the SHORTER wavelength. The shorter the wavelength,the more it gets refracted.

Calculate the total mechanical energy of a 2 kg duck flying at 5 m/s, at a height of 10 meters above the ground.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Total mechanical energy = 225 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of duck (m) = 2 kg

Speed of duck (v)= 5 m/s

Height of duck from ground (h) = 10 m

Gravitation acceleration (g) = 10 m/s²

Find:

Total mechanical energy

Computation:

Total mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

Total mechanical energy = (1/2)mv² + mgh

Total mechanical energy = (1/2)(2)(5)² + (2)(10)(10)

Total mechanical energy = 25 + 200

Total mechanical energy = 225 J

Pendulum A has a bob of mass m hung from the string of length L; pendulum B is identical to A except its bob has the length 2L.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

$f_{B}: f_{A} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{1}}$

Explanation:

For pendulum A: Length = L and gravity = g

The frequency of pendulum A is given by

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}$

Here, f is the frequency, L be the length

$f_{A} = \frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}$ ... (1)

For pendulum B: Length = 2L, gravity = g

The frequency of pendulum B is given by

$f_{B} = \frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{g}{2L}}$ .... (2)

Divide equation (1) by (2)

$f_{B}: f_{A} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{1}}$

When the moon slowly moves away from the earth.How is it affecting the gravitational force between the earth and the moon?

sukhopar [10]

Well, think about how the tides will be affected when the moon moves farther away. If the moon first started off very close the earth, we would have more tsunamis. (Scientists have found that the moon has possibly been closer to earth long ago.) While it moves away, soon there will no longer be many tides.
