Answer:

A rainbow is formed because sunlight or white light is refracted by water drops into bands of different colors. Each color refracts at a different angle because each color within the visible spectrum is made of<u><em> </em></u><u><em>light waves of different wavelengths</em></u> and different frequencies.

Since the color of light waves depend on the wavelength, we're seeing light waves with different wavelengths when we see a rainbow (since a rainbow is composed of many different colors). The correct answer should be D. Light waves of different wavelengths.

A 4.0-kg object is supported by an aluminum wire of length 2.0 m and diameter 2.0 mm. How much will the wire stretch?
forsale [732]

Answer:

The extension of the wire is 0.362 mm.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object, m = 4.0 kg

length of the aluminum wire, L = 2.0 m

diameter of the wire, d = 2.0 mm

radius of the wire, r = d/2 = 1.0 mm = 0.001 m

The area of the wire is given by;

A = πr²

A = π(0.001)² = 3.142 x 10⁻⁶ m²

The downward force of the object on the wire is given by;

F = mg

F = 4 x 9.8 = 39.2 N

The Young's modulus of aluminum is given by;

Y = \frac{stress}{strain}\\\\Y = \frac{F/A}{e/L}\\\\Y = \frac{FL}{Ae} \\\\e = \frac{FL}{AY}

Where;

Young's modulus of elasticity of aluminum = 69 x 10⁹ N/m²

e = \frac{FL}{AY} \\\\e = \frac{(39.2)(2)}{(3.142*10^{-6})(69*10^9)} \\\\e = 0.000362 \ m\\\\e = 0.362 \ mm

Therefore, the extension of the wire is 0.362 mm.

A fire engine approaches a wall at 5 m/s while the siren emits a tone of 500 Hz frequency. At the time, the speed of sound in ai
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The  values is  f_b  =14.9 \  beats/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  speed of the fire engine is  v =  5\ m/s

    The frequency of the tone is  f =  500 \ Hz

    The speed of sound in air is v_s  =  340 \ m/s

The  beat frequency is mathematically represented as

     f_b  =  f_a  -  f

Where  f_a is the frequency of sound heard by the people in the fire engine and is is mathematically evaluated as

   f_a  =  [\frac{v_s + v }{v_s  -v} ]* f

substituting values

  f_a  =  [\frac{340 + 5 }{340  -5} ]* 500

  f_a  = 514.9 \  Hz

Thus  

      f_b  =514.9 -  500

      f_b  =14.9 \  beats/s

Can anyone help me with this please​
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

1270 J

Explanation:

Recall that the mechanical energy of a system is the addition of the Potential energy and the Kinetic energy at any given time.

As the skier descends, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, but the total mechanical energy should remain the same.

We see that it is not the case, so that difference is what has gone into thermal energy;  19500 J - 18230 J = 1270 J
