The colors that you see on the CD are created by white light reflecting from ridges in the metal. When light reflects off or passes through something with many small ridges or scratches, you often get rainbow colors and interesting patterns. They are called interference patterns.
Answer:
So when you shine a laser through a prism, there's nothing to be separated, and the light stays together.
Explanation:
Answer: b. Throw it directly away from the space station.
Explanation:
According to <u>Newton's third law of motion</u>, <em>when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.</em>
To understand it better:
Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first.
So, if the astronaut throws the wrench away from the space station (in the opposite direction of the space station), according to Newton's third law, she will be automatically moving towards the station and be safe.
Answer:
D) the second at the doorknob
Explanation:
The torque exerted by a force is given by:
where
F is the magnitude of the force
d is the distance between the point of application of the force and the centre of rotation
is the angle between the direction of the force and d
In this problem, we have:
- Two forces of equal magnitude F
- Both forces are perpendicular to the door, so 
- The first force is exerted at the midpoint of the door, while the 2nd force is applied at the doorknob. This means that d is the larger for the 2nd force
--> therefore, the 2nd force exerts a greater torque
