Answer:

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

Sav [38]3 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

A student places her 490 g physics book on a frictionless table. She pushes the book against a spring, compressing the spring by
Paul [167]

Answer:

book speed is 3.99 m/s

Explanation:

given data

mass m = 490 g = 0.490 kg

compressing x = 7.10 cm = 0.0710 m

spring constant k = 1550 N/m

to find out

book speed

solution

we know energy is conserve so

we can say

loss in spring energy is equal to gain in kinetic energy

so

\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2 = \frac{1}{2}*m*v^2    ..................1

put here value

\frac{1}{2}*1550*0.071^2 = \frac{1}{2}*0.490*v^2

v = 3.99 m/s

so book speed is 3.99 m/s

Dry cells become soft even when not in use. Explain.
mamaluj [8]
This is possible due to self-discharge. Very small internal currents inevitably occur in these cells over time and they will eventually exhaust the chemistry.

3.00 m^3 of water is at 20.0°C.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

9m^3

Explanation:

Given data

volume  v1=  3m^3

volume  v2=  ???

Temperature T1= 20.0°C.

Temperature T2= 60.0°C.

Applying the relation for temperature and volume

V1/T1= V2/T2

substitute

3/20= V2/60

3*60= V2*20

180= 20*V2

180/20= V2

V2= 9m^3

Hence the final volume is 9m^3
