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

Physics
1 answer:
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.

Four identical metallic objects carry the following charges 1.82 6.65 4.80 and 9.30 C The objects are brought simultaneously int
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

a) 5.64 C

b) 3.5*10¹⁹ protons

Explanation:

a)

  • Since the four metallic objects are identical, and total charge must be conserved, this means that after brought simultaneously into contact so that each touches the others, once separated, total charge must be the same than before being brought in contact.
  • But due they are identical, after charges were able to transfer freely between them, the four objects must have the same final charge, i.e. the fourth part of the total charge, as follows:

       Q_{n} = \frac{Q_{tot}}{4} = \frac{22.57C}{4} = 5.64 C  (1)

b)

  • This charge will be divided between n protons, since the charge is positive.
  • Since each proton carries a charge equal to the elementary charge e, which value is 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C, we can find the number of protons in excess, doing the following calculation:
  • n_{p} =\frac{Q_{n}}{e} = \frac{5.64C}{1.6e-19C} = 3.5 e19 C (2)

. A water balloon is thrown horizontally at a speed of 2.00 m/s from the roof of a building that is 6.00m above the ground. At t
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Height of building

H = 6m

Horizontal speed of first balloon

U1x = 2m/s

Second ballot is thrown straight downward at a speed of

U2y = 2m/s

Time each gallon hits the ground

Balloon 1.

Using equation of free fall

H = Uoy•t + ½gt²

Uox = 0 since the body does not have vertical component of velocity

6 = ½ × 9.8t²

6 = 4.9t²

t² = 6 / 4.9

t² = 1.224

t = √1.224

t = 1.11 seconds

For second balloon

H = Uoy•t + ½gt²

6 = 2t + ½ × 9.8t²

6 = 2t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 2t —6 = 0

Using formula method to solve the quadratic equation

Check attachment

From the solution we see that,

t = 0.9211 and t = -1.329

We will discard the negative value of time since time can't be negative here

So the second balloon get to the ground after t ≈ 0.92 seconds

Conclusion

The water ballon that was thrown straight down at 2.00 m/s hits the ground first by 1.11 s - 0.92s = 0.19 s.

A string attached to an airborne kite was maintained at an angle of 40.0 with the ground. if 120m of string was reeled in to ret
AleksAgata [21]
The hypotenuse is measured at 120 meters of string, and you need to solve for the leg of the triangle that is horizontal. The degree is 40, so use trigonometry to figure it out. 
Cosin (40) is equal to around .766 
Adjacent/Hypotenuse 
x/120 = cos40 
Answer: 91.92533. 
If you use 3 significant figures it should be 91.9 meters.

Off the top of my head, I only know 9 and 11, so I'll answer those two.

9) A heterotroph is an organism that relies on other organisms for food/energy
    An autotroph can produce its own food from inorganic compounds (light)

11) Vascular plants have specialized tubes for transporting nutrients
      Nonvascular plants do not have such tubes and are simpler
