Answer:

it is because the refracting surgaces of the prism are not parallel with each other

Sav [38]4 years ago

Answer:

Since different colours of light travel at different speeds, the refractive index is different for each colour. As a result, when light passes through the refracting surface of the prism,its components bend into different angles, causing the single beam of light to separate

Two blocks with masses M1 and M2 hang one under the other.
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

(a)T= M2 × g,    (b)T= (M1 + M2)g,   (c)T= M2 (a + g) and  (d)T=(M1 + M2) (a + g)

Explanation:

M1 is hanged upper and M2 is lower at Rest.

(a) For M2

T2 = Weight of the Body M2= M2 × g

(b) T1 = Weight of the Body M2 + Weight of the Body M2

T1 = M1 g + M2 g = (M1 + M2)g

M1 is hanged upper and M2 is lower at accelerated upwards ( F = T - W)

(c) For M2

⇒T = M2a + M2g = M2 (a + g)

(d) For M1

T = (M1 + M2) a + (M1 + M2) g

⇒ T = (M1 + M2) (a + g)

What factor affects sensation
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

D physiological condition

Explanation:

Sensation and perceptions are complimentary to each other but have different roles within the brain. Sensations are the process of experiencing the world with the five senses and sending that information to the brain. Perceptions are the way we interpret sensations.

If the absolute temperature of a gas is 600 K, the temperature in degrees Celsius is
gavmur [86]
Kelvin is a base unit of temperature scale from SI that defines as zero degree Kelvin (absolute zero). The absolute zero is a hypothetical statement that all molecular movement stops because there is no transient of energy for the molecules to move. When converting temperature in degree Celsius to Kelvin, add 273. You are given 600K and you are asked to find it in degrees Celsius.  

T(K) = T(C) + 273
600 K = T(C) + 273
T(C) = 600 – 273
T(C) = 327 °C

A 0.015 kg marble moving to the right at 0.225 m/s makes an elastic head-on collision with a 0.030 kg shooter marble moving to t
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

0.09 m/s to the right

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that in a system of colliding objects, the total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision, provided there is no external force.

The total momentum, in this question, is the sum of the momentum of the the two marbles. We assume velocity to the right is positive while to the left is negative. Thus, total initial momentum is

P_i = 0.015\times0.225+ 0.030 \times(-0.180) = 0.002025

After collision, the first marble goes left. Let the velocity of the other marble be v. Then we have

P_f = 0.015\times(-0.315) + 0.030v = 0.030v - 0.004725

Equating both momenta,

P_i = P_f

0.002025 = 0.030v - 0.004725

v = 0.09 \text{ m/s}

Hence, the larger goes right with a velocity of 0.09 m/s (since it has a positive sign).

Different forces were applied to five balls, and each force was applied for the same amount of time. The data is in the table. A
Annette [7]

The magnitude of impulse on Ball A will become twice (doubles). Hence, option (c) is correct.

Impulse:

The effect of applied force acting for a very small interval of time is known as Impulse.

Given data:

The initial magnitude of the force on Ball A is, F = 50 N.

The time interval for the applied force on Ball A is, t = 1.25 s.

And the impulse at initial on ball A is, I = 62.5 N-s.

Now, if force on ball A doubles, which means new magnitude of force is,

F' = 2F

F' = 2 × 50

F' = 100 N

For same time interval, the new impulse on Ball A is given as,

I' = F' × t

Solving as,

I' = 100 × 1.25

I' = 125 N-s

Taking the ratio of both the impulses as,

I' / I = 125/62.5

I' = 2 I

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of impulse on Ball A will become twice (doubles). Hence, option (c) is correct.
