Answer:

Explanation:

Prism is a glass object that is used to study the pattern of refraction.

During this experiment it is not advised to used small values of incident angle , as when a small amount of incident ray is passed the refracted pattern observed at the end will not provide satisfactory results.

The amount of light that comes out of prism which is the refracted light will also be small hence study of complete refracted pattern will not be possible.

The small incident angle will give rise to more errors in measurement.

What are laws of newton

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction

A woman falls to the ground while wearing a parachute. The air resistance on the parachute of the parachute is 500N. If the woma

scoundrel [369]

The gravitational force on the woman is A) 500 N

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the woman during her fall:

The force of gravity, $F_G$ , acting downward
The air resistance, $F_D$ , acting upward

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the woman is equal to the product between the woman's mass and her acceleration:

$\sum F=ma$

where m is the mass of the woman and a her acceleration.

The net force can be written as

$\sum F = F_G - F_D$

Also, we know that the woman falls at a constant velocity (5 m/s), this means that her acceleration is zero:

$a=0$

Combining the equations together, we get:

$F_G-F_D = 0$

which means that the magnitude of the gravitational force is equal to the magnitude of the air resistance:

$F_G=F_D=500 N$

Car A hits car B (initially at rest and of equal mass) from behind while going 15 m/s Immediately after the collision, car B mov

Mamont248 [21]

Given :

Initial speed of car A is 15 m/s and initial speed of car B is zero.

Final speed of car A is zero and final speed of car B is 10 m/s.

To Find :

What fraction of the initial kinetic energy is lost in the collision.

Solution :

Initial kinetic energy is :

$K.E_i = \dfrac{15^2m}{2} + 0\\\\K.E_i = \dfrac{225 m}{2}$

Final kinetic energy is :

$K.E_f = \dfrac{10^2m}{2} + 0\\\\K.E_f = \dfrac{100m}{2}$

Now, fraction of initial kinetic energy loss is :

$Loss = \dfrac{\dfrac{225m}{2}-\dfrac{100m}{2}}{\dfrac{100m}{2}}\\\\Loss = \dfrac{125}{100}\\\\Loss = 1.25$

Therefore, fraction of initial kinetic energy loss in the collision is 1.25 .
