Answer:

red

orange

yellow

green

blue

indigo

violet

Explanation:

The decomposition of  light into colors by a prism has to do with the fact that white visible light is made up of a range of wavelengths (from 400nm to approximately 700nm) and within this range of wavelengths we find the colors we know from the rainbow (violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red) violet at 400nm to red at 700nm.

In a prism, each wavelength travels at a slightly different speed, resulting in the decomposition of white light into the colors of the rainbow.

Colors with smaller wavelengths will travel slower in the prism than colors with larger wavelengths. So colors with larger wavelengths will not deviate as much as colors with shorter wavelengths.

Thus, the order starting with the color that is bent the least is:

  • red
  • orange
  • yellow
  • green
  • blue
  • indigo
  • violet

This is because red travels faster in the prism than violet,  thus it does not bend as much.

g A meteoroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet. The planet has the same mass as Earth but has
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

gravitational acceleration of meteoroid

=  GM / R²

M is mass of planet , R is radius of orbit of meteoroid from the Centre of the planet .

R = (.9 x 6370 + 600 )x 10³ m

= 6333 x 10³ m

M , mass of the planet = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg .

gravitational acceleration of meteoroid

=  GM / R²

=  (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg  / (6333 x 10³ m)²

9.92m/s²

Enter an expression for the force constant for the floating raft, in terms of L, g, and the density of water, ρ.
andriy [413]

Answer:

K = ρL²g

Explanation:

Consider L as the length of the raft inside the water when the raft is displaced through additional distance y;

Then:

F = upthrust ( restoring force) = weight of the liquid displaced.

F = V_{\omega} \rho_{\omega} g= A y \rho_{\omega} g

where;

A = L²

\rho_{\omega} = \rho

F = ky.

Then,

Ay \rho g = ky

L^2y \rho g = ky

Divide both sides by y

K = ρL²g
