Acceleration = ( final velocity - intial velocity ) / time

= (60-0)m/s / 3s
= 20 m/s2
the answer is a

Isaac Newton used a ____ to break white light into its component colors.

ivann1987 [24]

<h2>Answer: Prism</h2>

In the eighteenth century Isaac Newton found out that <u>when a beam of light from the Sun, passes trhough a prism is decomposed in many different colors</u>. He named this phenomenom as dispersion of light.

This phenomenom occurs when a beam of white light (which is compound of many wavelengths or "colors") is refracted (the different rays of light are diverted depending on their wavelengths) in some medium, leaving their constituent colors separated.

Therefore:

<h2>Isaac Newton used a <u>prism</u> to break white light into its component colors.</h2>

A student pulls a block over a rough surface with a constant force FP that is at an angle θ above the horizontal, as shown above

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

B.The force of friction between the block and surface will decrease.

Explanation:

The force of friction is given by

$F_s = \mu N$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction and $N$ is the normal force.

When the student pulls on the block with force $F_p$ at an angle $\theta$ , the normal force on the block becomes

$N = Mg- F_psin(\theta)$

and hence the frictional force becomes

$F_s = \mu (Mg- F_psin(\theta))$ .

Now, as we increase $\theta$ , $sin(\theta)$ increases which as a result decreases the normal force $Mg- F_psin(\theta)$ , which also means the frictional force decreases; Hence choice B stands true.

<em>P.S: Choice D is tempting but incorrect since the weight </em> $W=mg$ <em> is independent of the external forces on the block. </em>

The Sun delivers an average power of 1.575 W/m2 to the top of Neptune's atmosphere. Find the magnitudes of max and max for the e

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

$1.1486813808\times 10^{-7}\ T$

34.46 V/m

Explanation:

$\mu_0$ = Vacuum permeability = $4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ H/m$

c = Speed of light = $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

I = Intensity = 1.575 W/m²

The maximum magnetic field intensity is given by

$B_m=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\mu_0I}{c}}\\\Rightarrow B_m=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 1.575}{3\times 10^8}}\\\Rightarrow B_m=1.1486813808\times 10^{-7}\ T$
