Paraphin [41]3 years ago
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.

As a solid element melts, the atoms become __________ and they have __________ attraction for one another. more separated, more
galina1969 [7]
The complete statement is 

As a solid element melts, the atoms become more separated and they have less attraction for one another. 

Let me explain to you how this happens. In solid phase. Its molecules are arranged in a very compact manner that is why it takes a definite shape and volume. When it is heated, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases. This is characterized by more frequent collisions. The rise in temperature causes the molecules to move rapidly by vibrating. When it reaches an amount of energy that causes the solid to change phase, this is called the latent energy. The molecules break their form and move farther away from each other until it resembles that of a liquid melting. At this point, the molecules would have lesser attraction because of the distance between them.

What is the difference in forces and displacement when comparing positive and negative work?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work is the product of force and displacement.  Work is positive if force and displacement moves in the same direction. Work is negative if force and displacement moves in opposite direction.  Take for example, a load is to move from point A to point B in the forward direction. if you apply force on the load from point A to B work done on the load is positive. If it happens that the force you apply is to the opposite direction, the work done will be negative.

During an ice show a 70.0 kg skater leaps into the air and is caught by an initially stationary 55.0 kg skater. What is their fi
mezya [45]

Answer:2.24 m/s

Explanation:

Let the mass of ice skater who is moving is m_1=70kg

mass of stationary skater, m_2=55 kg

conserving momentum

m_1v+0=\left ( m_1+m_2\right )v_f

v_f=\frac{70\times 4}{125}

v_f=\frac{280}{125}=2.24 m/s

A rod 10.0 cm long is uniformly charged and has a total charge of -21.0 µC. Determine the magnitude and direction of the electri
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

The magnitude of electric field is 2.3\times10^6\ C/m^2 and the direction is inward.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of rod = 10.0 cm

ChargeQ = -21.0\times10^{-6}\ C

Distance D = (34.0-10) cm = 0.24 m

We need to calculate the electric field along the axis

E=\dfrac{kQ}{D(D+L)}

Where, Q = charge

D = distance

Put the value into the formula

E = \dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times(-21\times10^{-6}}{0.24(0.24+0.10)}

E=-2.3\times10^6\ C/m^2

Negative sign shows the direction of electric field is inward that means toward the center.

Hence, The magnitude of electric field is 2.3\times10^6\ C/m^2 and the direction is inward.
