Answer:

option A

Explanation:

When white light is incident on prism it bends and dispersed into different colors.

According to Cauchy equation, refractive index is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light.

wavelength of the light in decreasing order

orange > yellow > green > blue

wavelength of the orange light is the highest.

Hence, the refractive index  of orange will be lowest.

The correct answer is option A

Which wavelength of light is capable of penetrating the dust of a nebula?
ivann1987 [24]
When the dust is too thick to penetrate with visible light, such as the Nebula, Radio Waves are used to penetrate the dust. Longer radio waves can completely penetrate the thick cloud cover, allowing scientists to beam radar waves.

A small sandbag is dropped from rest from a hovering hot-air balloon. (assume the positive direction is upward.) (a) after 1.5 s
marishachu [46]

solution:

We know v0 = 0, a = 9.8, t = 4.0. We need to solve for v

so,

we use the equation:

v = v0 + at

v = 0 + 9.8*4.0

v = 39.2 m/s

Now we just need to solve for d, so we use the equation:

d = v0t + 1/2*a*t^2

d = 0*4.0 + 1/2*9.8*4.0^2

d = 78.4 m

In a game of pool, a cue ball rolls without slipping toward the stationary eight ball with a momentum of 0.23 kg. After the two
IrinaVladis [17]

This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of momentum.

The magnitude of the final momentum of the eight ball is "0.22 N.s".

According to the law of conservation of momentum:

P_{i1}+P_{i2}=P_{f1}+P_{f2}

where,

P_{i1} = initial momentum of the cue ball = 0.23 N.s

P_{i2} = initial momentum of the eight ball = 0 N.s (since ball is initially at rest)

P_{f1} = final momentum of the cue ball = 0.01 N.s

P_{f2} = final momentum of the eight ball = ?

Therefore,

0.23\ N.s + 0\N.s = 0.01\ N.s+P_{f2}\\\\P_{f2} = 0.22\ N.s

With the same block-spring system from above, imagine doubling the displacement of the block to start the motion. By what factor
Fofino [41]

Answer:

A)     K / K₀ = 4   b)     v / v₀ = 4

Explanation:

A) For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy

in the problem it indicates that the displacement was doubled (x = 2xo)

starting point. At the position of maximum displacement

      Em₀ = Ke = ½ k (2x₀)²

final point. In the equilibrium position

      Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

        Em₀ = Em_{f}

        ½ k 4 x₀² = K

        (½ K x₀²) = K₀

         K = 4 K₀

          K / K₀ = 4

B) the speed value

          ½ k 4 x₀² = ½ m v²

          v = 4 (k / m) x₀

if we call

           v₀ = k / m x₀

          v = 4 v₀

         v / v₀ = 4
