Answer:

move upward with increasing speed

I draw fbd diagram , see in figure

when lift going upward -

F - mg = ma

f = m( a + g)

scale so highest reading

vagabundo [1.1K]

A uniform metal rod with of length 80cm and a mass of 3.2kg is supported horizontally by two vertical spring balances C and D. Balance C is 20cm from one end while D is 30cm from the other end would show the reading of 1.06 Kg and 2.13 kg respectively

<h3>What is gravity?</h3>

It can be defined as the force by which a body attracts another body towards its center as the result of the gravitational pull of one body and another, The gravity varies according to the mass and size of the body for example the force of gravity on the moon is the 1/6th times of the force of gravity on the earth.

As given in the problem, A uniform metal rod of the length of 80cm and mass of 3.2kg is supported horizontally by two vertical springs balance C and D. Balance C is 20cm from one end while D is 30cm from the other end

The weight of the rod acting downward is from the center of the rod at 40 cm

Let us suppose the reading on the spring balance C and D are P and Q respectively

By using the equilibrium for the vertical force

Fv=0

P + C = 3.2

By using the equilibrium for the moment around the left corner

20×P+ 50×Q= 40 ×3.2

By solving for both P and Q from the above two equations we would get

P =1.06 and Q = 2.13

Thus, the reading on the spring balance C and D would be 1.06 Kg and 2.13 kg respectively

Sunlight appears white. However, rainbows, sunburn and the ability to see colors tell a different story.Explain what each of the
alexdok [17]
A) Sunlight basically consists of a combination of light of different wavelengths. Each of these wavelengths correspond to each of the colors of the rainbow. For example, red light has the longest wavelength. This is followed by orange, then yellow, green, blue and indigo. Violet has the shortest wavelength. These wavelengths (750 nm  to 400 nm) constitute the visible colors. All these light components of different wavelengths combine together to become the color white.

b) When this sunlight passes through droplets of rain, it gets refracted and that is what breaks up the white light into individual colors of the rainbow, just how light passing through a glass prism gets broken down into its individual seven colors.

c) Different objects have the ability to absorb different wavelengths of light. For example, glass absorbs light of all wavelengths except those between 560-520nm, which corresponds to green light. So it reflects the green light and thus, our eyes see  grass as green in color.

d) Light of wavelength below  400 nm (ultraviolet) and above 750nm (Infrared) are not visible. However, they exist in the sun's radiation. Ultraviolet rays are very harmful and responsible for causing sunburn and some types of skin tumors. Infrared light is also harmful and can cause premature wrinkling of skin.

A ray of red light in air is incident at an angle of 30. on a
Vlad [161]

Answer:

20 degrees.

Explanation:

From Snell’s law of refraction:

sinθ1•n1 = sinθ2•n2

where θ1 is the incidence angle, θ2 is the refraction angle, n1 is the refraction index of light in medium1, and n2 is the refraction index for virgin olive oil. The incidence angle of the red light is θ1 = 30 degrees.

The red light is in air as medium1, so n1 (air) = 1.00029

So, to find θ2, the refracted angle:

sinθ1•1.00029 = sinθ2•1.464

sin(30)•1.00029 / 1.464 = sinθ2

0.5•1.00029 / 1.464 = sinθ2

sinθ2 = 0.3416291

θ2 = arcsin(0.3416291)

θ2 = 19.976 degrees

To the nearest degree,

θ2 = 20 degrees.
