The answer would be C. velocity. When white light enters a prism it is refracted. This refraction is caused due to a change in velocity (generally speaking, velocity is considered speed in some cases) when entering the prism. In other words, when light enters a prism at an angle, the glass slows down the light causing the light to split into different colors.

A loudspeaker diaphragm is vibrating in simple harmonic motion with a frequency of 760 Hz and a maximum displacement of 0.85 mm.

Alchen [17]

Explanation: Given that the frequency of oscilation f, is 760Hz and the maximum displacement x, is 0.85mm= 0.00085m

(a) Angular frequency w= 2πf

w= 2π × 760 = 4775.2Hz

(b) Maximum speed v is given as the product of angular frequency and maximum displacement

V=wx

V= 4775.2 × 0.00085

V= 4.06m/s

= w²x

= (4775.2)² × (0.00085)

a= 19382.15m/s².

An arrow of 43 g moving at 84 m/s to the right, strikes an apple at rest. The arrow sticks to the apple and both travel at 16.8

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The mass of the apple is 0.172 kg (172 g)

Explanation:

The Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum

The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is

P=mv.

If we have a system of two bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of both momentums:

$P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:

$P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2$

Since the total momentum is conserved, then:

P = P'

Or, equivalently:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2$

If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v'$

We are given the mass of an arrow m1=43 g = 0.043 kg traveling at v1=84 m/s to the right (positive direction). It strikes an apple of unknown mass m2 originally at rest (v2=0). The common speed after they collide is v'=16.8 m/s.

We need to solve the last equation for m2:

$m_2v_2-m_2v'=m_1v'-m_1v_1$
