Answer:

(A) Visible

Explanation:

The section of the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can generally see is called visible light.

White light is visible light and the range of visible wavelengths ranges from 400 - 700 nanometers.

The word "visible" is an adjective, meaning "able to be seen with eyes".

It was reasonable, then, that some of the most brilliant minds in all of science got together, and agreed to refer to the range of electromagnetic wavelengths able to be seen with eyes as "visible" light. (A)

A Block slides down an incline that makes an angle of 30? with the horizontal direction. The coefficient of kinetic friction bet

astraxan [27]

Answer:

Acceleration = 2.35 m/ $s^{2}$

Speed = 8.67 m/s

Explanation:

The coefficient of friction , u =0.3

The angle of incline = 30°

The two forces acting on block are weight and friction.

weight along the incline = mg cos60° = $\frac{mg}{2}$ = 0.5 mg

Friction along incline = umg cos30° = mg $0.3\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Friction along incline = 0.26 mg

Net force acting on the weight = (0.5 - 0.26) mg = 0.24 mg

Acceleration = $\frac{net force}{mass}$ = 0.24 g = 2.35 m/ $s^{2}$

The height of incline = 8 m

Length of the inclined edge = 16 m

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as$

$v^{2}= 2\times 0.24 \times 9.8\times 16$

v= 8.67 m/s

A 0.400-kg ice puck, moving east with a speed of 5.86 m/s , has a head-on collision with a 0.900-kg puck initially at rest.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

a) The final speed of the 0.400-kg puck after the collision is 2.254 meters per second, b) The negative sign of the solution found in part a) indicates that 0.400-kg puck is moving westwards, c) The speed of the 0.900-kg puck after the collision is 3.606 meters per second eastwards.

Explanation:

a) Since collision is perfectly elastic and there are no external forces exerted on pucks system, the phenomenon must be modelled after the Principles of Momentum and Energy Conservation. Changes in gravitational potential energy can be neglected. That is:

Momentum

$m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o} = m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}$

Energy

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o}^{2}+ m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o}^{2})=\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f}^{2}+ m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}^{2})$

$m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o}^{2} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o}^{2} = m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f}^{2} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

Where:

$m_{1}$ , $m_{2}$ - Masses of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in kilograms.

$v_{1,o}$ , $v_{2,o}$ - Initial speeds of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in meters per second.

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Final speeds of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in meters per second.

If $m_{1} = 0.400\,kg$ , $m_{2} = 0.900\,kg$ , $v_{1,o} = +5.86\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v_{2,o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the system of equation is simplified as follows:
