Why do you see colors when you look at reflected light from a cd

Physics

Nady [450]3 years ago

The colors that you see on the CD are created by white light reflecting from ridges in the metal. When light reflects off or passes through something with many small ridges or scratches, you often get rainbow colors and interesting patterns. They are called interference patterns.

A 30.0-kg girl in a swing is pushed to one side and held at rest by a horizontal force \vec{F} ​F ​⃗ ​​ so that the swing ropes
Virty [35]

Answer:

169.74 N

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the girl = 30 Kg

angle of the rope with vertical, θ = 30°

equating the vertical component of the tension

vertical component of the tension is equal to the weight of the girl.

 T cos θ = m g

 T cos 30° = 30 x 9.8

 T = 339.48 N

Tension on the two ropes is equal to 339.48 N

Tension in each of the rope = T/2

                                           = 339.48/2 = 169.74 N

Hence, the tension in each of the rope is equal to 169.74 N

you measured the torque caused by the gyroscope's weight by lifting up the end of the gyroscope (at 7.5 inches). If you measured
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

i) No, the spring scale does not read a different value

ii) The torque will read a different value, it will reduce

iii) The spring scale does not need to be measured at the center of mass location.

Explanation:

The torque caused by the gyroscope can be given by the relation,

\tau = r × f

\tau = rf cos \theta

The torque measured by the gyroscope varies directly with the distance, r.

A decrease in the distance r will also cause a decrease in the value of the torque measured. When the distance, r is reduced from 7.5 inches to 5 inches, the torque caused by the gyroscope's weight also reduces.

The weight of the gyroscope remains constant despite the reduction in the distance because the weight  of the gyroscope is not a function of the distance from the gyroscope. Therefore, the spring scale will not read a different value.

Yes, the spring scale does not need to be measured from the center of mass location because the weight does not depend on the location of measurement. The reading of the sprig scale remains constant.

Two 0.40 kg soccer ball collide elastically in a head-on collision. The first ball starts at rest, and the second ball has a spe
yulyashka [42]

Explanation:

Mass of two soccer balls, m_1=m_2=0.4\ kg

Initial speed of first ball, u_1=0

Initial speed of second ball, u_2=3.5\ m/s

After the collision,

Final speed of the second ball, v_2=0

(a) The momentum remains conserved. Using the conservation of momentum to find it as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

v_1 is the final speed of the first ball

0.4\times 0+0.4\times 3.5=0.4v_1+0.4\times 0

0.4\times 3.5=0.4v_1

v_1=3.5\ m/s

(b) Let E_1 is the kinetic energy of the first ball before the collision. It is given by :

E_1=\dfrac{1}{2}mu_1^2

E_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.4\times 0

It is at rest, so, the kinetic energy of the first ball before the collision is 0.

(c) After the collision, the second ball comes to rest. So, the kinetic energy of the second ball after the collision is 0.

Hence, this is the required solution.
