Wee see rainbows due to the geometries of the raindrops. when the sun shines behind, rays of light enter the raindrops and this light are refracted. The lights are then reflected from the back of the raindrop and refracted again as it passes the rain drop. Refraction in this sense is the cause for splitting the light into several colors.

Rocks A and B are located at the same height on top of a hill. The mass of rock A is twice the mass of rock B. How does the pote
Ronch [10]

Potential energy is defined by formula

U = mgh

here

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Now here two different stones are located at same height

while mass of stone A is twice that of stone B

so here we can say potential energy of A is

U_a = (2m)gh

Similarly potential energy of B is

U_b = mgh

now if we take the ratio of two energy

\frac{U_a}{U_b} = 2

so we can say potential energy of stone A is two times the potential energy of B

A billiard ball (ball #1) moving at 5.00 m/s strikes a stationary ball (ball #2) of the same mass. after the collision, ball #1
Rashid [163]
If it is completely elastic, you can calculate the velocity of the second ball from the kinetic energy 
<span>v1 = velocity of #1 </span>
<span>v1' = velocity of #1 after collision </span>
<span>v2' = velocity of #2 after collision. </span>

<span>kinetic energy: v1^2 = v1' ^2 + v2' ^2 (1/2 and m cancel out) </span>
<span>5^2 = 4.35^2 + v2' ^2 </span>
<span>v2 = 2.46 m/s <--- ANSWER</span>
