Explain what a spectroscope is and how it works

1 answer:

6 0

A spectroscope is a device used to distribute white light into a spectrum of many different colors. A little prism inside the device divides the light into different colors of light. You look into it, and there will be numbers. The numbers you see will show you the wavelengths of light.

In 2-3 complete sentences, explain why the needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north.

Alex17521 [72]

The needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north because of the magnetic poles of earth. the compass is essentially a magnet itself, so the southern pole of the compass is attracted to the northern pole of earth.

a stone with a mass of 2.40 kg is moving with velocity (6.60î − 2.40ĵ) m/s. find the net work (in j) on the stone if its velocit

ch4aika [34]

By the work energy theorem, the total work done on the stone is given by its change in kinetic energy,

$W = \Delta K = \dfrac m2 ({v_2}^2 - {v_1}^2)$

We have

$\vec v_1 = (6.60\,\vec\imath - 2.40\,\vec\jmath)\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} \implies {v_1}^2 = \|\vec v_1\|^2 = 49.32 \dfrac{\rm m^2}{\rm s^2}$

$\vec v_2 = (8.00\,\vec\imath + 4.00\,\vec\jmath) \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} \implies {v_2}^2 = \|\vec v_2\|^2 = 80.0\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}$

Then the total work is

$W = \dfrac{2.40\,\rm kg}2 \left(80.0\dfrac{\rm m^2}{\rm s^2} - 49.32\dfrac{\rm m^2}{\rm s^2}\right) \approx \boxed{36.8\,\rm J}$

If you pull horizontally on a desk with a force of 150 N and the desk doesn't move, the friction force must be 150 N. Now if you

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The friction force is 250 N

Explanation:

The desk is moving at constant velocity. This means that its acceleration is zero: a = 0. Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on the desk is equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

$\sum F=ma$

In this case, we know that the acceleration is zero: a = 0, so also the resultant of the forces must be zero:

$\sum F = 0$ (1)

We are only interested in the forces acting along the horizontal direction, since it is the direction of motion. There are two forces acting in this direction:

- the pull, forward, F = 250 N

- the friction force, backward, $F_f$

Given (1), we have

$F-F_f = 0$

So the force of friction must be equal to the pull:

$F=F_f = 250 N$
