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.

Levart [38]

Answer:

Coefficient of static friction will be equal to 0.642  

Explanation:

We have given acceleration a=6.3m/sec^2

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

We have to find the coefficient of static friction between truck and a cabinet will

We know that acceleration is equal to a=\mu g, here \mu is coefficient of static friction and g is acceleration due to gravity

So \mu =\frac{a}{g}=\frac{6.3}{9.8}=0.642

So coefficient of static friction will be equal to 0.642

a heavy jar sits on top of a 3.4 m shelf with a gravitational potential energy of 180 j. What is the mass of the jar?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

5.2941176471 kg or 5294.1 grams

Explanation:

g.p.e= mgh

g.p.e/gh=m

180j/10×3.4= m

180/34= m

5.2941 kg= m

lubasha [3.4K]
The angular speed can be solve using the formula:
w = v / r
where w is the angular speed
v is the linear velocity
r is the radius of the object

w = ( 5 m / s ) / ( 5 cm ) ( 1 m / 100 cm )
w = 100 per second
