Newton also understood that white light can be separated into its components because each ray of color is deviated by the glass of the prism by a different amount. He realized, for example, that red light is consistently less deviated than violet light.

Burka [1]

The structure and curvature of the Earth results in beams of sunlight glancing off the equator and reaching other areas of the Earth. This means that the areas at the equator receive more energy as sun's rays hit them directly.
Therefore, the answer is C.

A. Energy was used to change phase of water from liquid to gas (evaporation). it is radiated back into the atmosphere from the stove.
This is because water evaperates after reaching it's boiling point.

A 3874-kg rollercoaster is brought to the top of a 42m hill in 40 seconds,then drops 28m before the next hill.

Ede4ka [16]

(a) The work required to get the coaster to the top of the first hill is 1,594,538.4 J.

(b) The power required to bring the train to the top of the first hill is 39,863.46 W.

(d) The left at the bottom is determined as 1,063,025.6 J.

<h3>Work done to bring the rollercoaster top of the hill</h3>

W = Fn x d = mgh

W = 3874 x 9.8 x 42

W = 1,594,538.4 J

<h3>Power dissipated in bringing the rollercoaster on top hill</h3>

P = Fv

P = Fd/t

P = W/t

P = 1,594,538.4 /40 = 39,863.46 W

<h3>Energy lost when the coaster drops</h3>

E = 1,594,538.4 - (3874 x 9.8 x 28)

E = 531,512.8 J

<h3>Energy left at the bottom</h3>

E = 3874 x 9.8 x 28 = 1,063,025.6 J

When analyzing inelastic collisions, we need to consider the law of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum, p, of the closed system is a constant. In the case of inelastic collisions, the momentum of the combined mass after the collision is equal to the sum of the momentum of each of the initial masses.

p1+p2+...=pf

In our case we only have two masses, which makes our problem fairly simple. Lets plug in the formula for momentum; p=mv.

m1v1+m2v2=(m1+m2)vf

To find the velocity of the combined mass we simply rearrange the terms.

vf=m1v1+m2v2m1+m2

Plug in the values given in the problem.

vf=(3.0kg)(1.4m/s)+(2.0kg)(0m/s)03.0kg+2.0kg

vf=.84m/s
