Explanation:

An object can only be seen when light falls on it, reflects and enters into observer's eye. We know that the white light is made up of seven colors represented as an acronym: VIBGYOR. This means when light falls on an object all the seven colors are falling on it. But every object has it own properties and it reflects some color and absorbs some colors. The color/colors which are reflected from the object will become the color of that object.

Not here the flower appear purple which means only purple light is being reflected from the flower. But if you notice there is no purple in the white light!

This happens because red and blue light is reflected off the flower which mixes and show the purple color.

What is larger a Atom or a Molecule?
Kipish [7]
I believe an Atom is a very powerful source, the basic unit of a chemical element. An atom is a source of nuclear energy.


But a molecule on the other hand isn't so different.
a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
I hope that helps, have a fantastic day!

A 5 kg ball rolling at 1.0 m/s hits a 15 kg ball at rest. The balls stick together after the collision What is the
Reika [66]

Answer:

0.25m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters

m₁  = 5kg

v₁ = 1.0m/s

m₂ = 15kg

v₂ = 0m/s

Unknown:

velocity after collision = ?

Solution:

Momentum before collision and after collision will be the same. For inelastic collision;

    m₁v₁ + m₂v₂  = v(m₁ + m₂)

Insert parameters and solve for v;

   5 x 1  + 15 x 0 = v (5 + 15 )

          5  = 20v

          v = \frac{5}{20}   = 0.25m/s

A passenger in a train accelerating smoothly away from a station observes that a child’s yo-yo hanging by its string from a lugg
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

1.73 m/s²

3.0 cm

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the yo-yo.  There are two forces: weight force mg pulling down, and tension force T pulling up 10° from the vertical.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

T cos 10° − mg = 0

T cos 10° = mg

T = mg / cos 10°

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

T sin 10° = ma

mg tan 10° = ma

g tan 10° = a

a = 1.73 m/s²

Draw a free body diagram of the sphere.  There are two forces: weight force mg pulling down, and air resistance D pushing up.  At terminal velocity, the acceleration is 0.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

D − mg = 0

D = mg

½ ρₐ v² C A = ρᵢ V g

½ ρₐ v² C (πr²) = ρᵢ (4/3 πr³) g

3 ρₐ v² C = 8 ρᵢ r g

r = 3 ρₐ v² C / (8 ρᵢ g)

r = 3 (1.3 kg/m³) (100 m/s)² (0.47) / (8 (7874 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²))

r = 0.030 m

r = 3.0 cm
