Answer:

Purple light waves are being reflected from the hat

Explanation:

The visible spectrum is made of seven colors Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yello, Orange and Red.

All objects are made of atoms, their electrons absorb wavelengths from the visible spectrum based on which wavelength they absorb the color of the object is determined.

If the object absorbs all wavelength it will appear black.

If the object do not abosrb any waavelength ( i.e., reflect all wavelength) then it will appear in white color

If the object aobsrbs all wavelength except Red the object will appear red

If the absorbs all wavelenth except Blue and Green then it will appear Cyan the combination of both Blue and green)

When the visible light falls on the the hat, it absorbs all colors of the visible spectrum ( VIBGYOR) and reflects only violet color( also called purple) the hat will appear purple

A centrifuge accelerates uniformly from rest to 15000 rpm in 330 s . Through how many revolutions did it turn in this time?

eduard

Answer:

The number of revolutions turned by the centrifuge is 8250 revolutions.

Explanation:

Given;

number of revolution per minutes, ω = 15000 rpm

time of motion, t = 330 s = 5.5 minutes

The number of revolutions turned by the centrifuge is given by;

$N = \frac{1500 \ Rev}{minutes} *5.5 \ minutes\\\\N = 8250 \ revolutions$

Therefore, the number of revolutions turned by the centrifuge is 8250 revolutions.

An eccentric inventor attempts to levitate a cork ball by wrapping it with foil and placing a large negative charge on the ball

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

because of the idea that like charges get repulsion as a force.

Explanation:

because you wrap the ball with foil, the negative charges will leave the foil and go into the ball by induction. This leaves the foil as a positively charged particle since its electrons left it for the ball, making the ball a negatively charged particle. but if you bring the negative charge near the foil, the electrons will transfer from that and go into the foil, making it negatively charged. Now, because the ball and the foil have the same charge, they repel. the foil flies off.

Materials that conduct heat and electricity well in the solid state result when

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Materials that conduct heat and electricity well in the solid state result when metals bond with metals. <span>This type of bonding is called metallic bonding. Metallic bonding is when positive ions (metals) are in a 'sea of negative electrons'. The electrons are delocalised, which means they can move around easily and carry charge, and this enables it to conduct electricity, even in a solid state.</span>
