The ball because the Kinetic Energy transfers from the bat to the ball, increasing the movement and acceleration of the ball because of the Kinetic Energy transferred from the origin force (The bat)

Answer: The ball.

Explanation: Right before the impact, the bat will have a bigger acceleration than the ball (assuming that the ball is trowed softly), and after the impact, there will be some energy of the bat transferred to the ball. As the ball has a lot less mass than the bat, it is "easily" accelerated:

Remember that the second Newton's law says that:

F = m*a

So, after the impact, the ball has a greater acceleration than the bat (Also, if the bat had more acceleration than the ball, it will "push" the ball, but you can see that the ball "escapes" to the bat after the initial impact).

natta225 [31]

Answer:

red

orange

yellow

green

blue

indigo

violet

Explanation:

The decomposition of  light into colors by a prism has to do with the fact that white visible light is made up of a range of wavelengths (from 400nm to approximately 700nm) and within this range of wavelengths we find the colors we know from the rainbow (violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red) violet at 400nm to red at 700nm.

In a prism, each wavelength travels at a slightly different speed, resulting in the decomposition of white light into the colors of the rainbow.

Colors with smaller wavelengths will travel slower in the prism than colors with larger wavelengths. So colors with larger wavelengths will not deviate as much as colors with shorter wavelengths.

Thus, the order starting with the color that is bent the least is:

  • red
  • orange
  • yellow
  • green
  • blue
  • indigo
  • violet

This is because red travels faster in the prism than violet,  thus it does not bend as much.

A device for increasing or decreasing voltage through electromagnetic induction.
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

O  Transformer

Explanation:

A transformer is a device for increasing or decreasing voltage through electromagnetic induction. It is very used in power transmission where alternating currents can be stepped up or down for house hold usage.

  • Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating current through magnetic fields.
  • It is made up of primary and secondary coils which helps to change voltage in the presence of magnetic filed at the core.
  • A transformer can either be a step up or step down device.
