The Greek root "mono" means alone/single/one. This gives away the answer rather easily. A monochromatic light source contains just one color.

Two skiers arrive at the bottom of a ramp travelling at the same speed. Friction may be ignored in this problem. One skier is an
inysia [295]

Answer:

Both will reach to same height

Explanation:

Here we can see that friction is to be ignored

so we can say that work done by all the non conservative forces is change in mechanical energy

Since all non conservative forces here is zero

so mechanical energy is conserved here

so here we can say that sum of initial kinetic energy and potential energy = sum of final kinetic energy and potential energy

So we will have

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgH

now maximum height is given as

H = \frac{v^2}{2g}

so here we can say that greatest height will be independent of the mass so they both will reach at same height

You pick up a 3.4-kg can of paint from the ground and lift it to a height of 1.8 m. (a) how much work do you do on the can of pa
MariettaO [177]

(a) For the work-energy theorem, the work done to lift the can of paint is equal to the gravitational potential energy gained by it, therefore it is equal to

W=mg\Delta h

where m=3.4 kg is the mass of the can, g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration and \Delta h=1.8 m is the variation of height. Substituting the numbers into the formula, we find

W=(3.4 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.8 m)=60.0 J


(b) In this case, the work done is zero. In fact, we know from its definition that the work done on an object is equal to the product between the force applied F and the displacement:

W=Fd

However, in this case there is no displacement, so d=0 and W=0, therefore the work done to hold the can stationary is zero.


(c) In this case, the work done is negative, because the work to lower the can back to the ground is done by the force of gravity, which pushes downward. Its value is given by the same formula used in part (a):

W=mg \Delta h=(3.4 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(-1.8 m)=-60.0 J

Hello,help me with this out please i need it hurry but please ensure your answer is correct..I attach here with my question.

Answer:

.409 N

Explanation:

For this to balance, the moments around the fulcrum must sum to zero.

On the left you have   .21   ( is that down? I will assume it is)

      Counterclockwise moments :

        .21 * 40     +  1.0 * 20    

     Clockwise moments :

        .5 * 20     +     F * 45

these moments must equal each other

.21*40 + 1 *20   =  .5 * 20 + F * 45

   F = .409 N

Name five characteristics of a star that can be determined by measuring its spectrum. Explain how you would use a spectrum to de
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Chemical composition, Temperature, Radial velocity, Size or diameter of the star, Rotation.

Explanation:  

Elemental abundances are determined by analyzing the relative strengths of the absorption lines in the spectrum of a star.

The Spectral class to which the star belongs gives the information related to the temperature of the star. It is the spectral lines that determine the spectral class O B A F G K M are the spectral classes.

By measuring the wavelengths of the lines in the star's spectrum gives the radial velocity. Doppler shift is the method used to find the radial velocity.

A star can be classified as a giant or a dwarf . A giant star will have narrow width spectral lines whereas a dwarf star has wider spectral lines.

Broadening of the spectral lines will determine the star's rotation.
