When it is directed at a mirror it is reflected
When it is directed at a glass block it refracts
When it is directed through a prism the light splits to form a spectrum ( red orange yellow green blue indigo and violet )

Hope this is ok

To introduce you to the concept of escape velocity for a rocket. the escape velocity is defined to be the minimum speed with whi
Mama L [17]
A projectile fired upward from the Earth's surface will usually slow down, come momentarily to rest, and return to Earth. For a certain initial speed, however it will move upward forever, with its speed gradually decreasing to zero just as its distance from Earth approaches infinity. The initial speed for this case is called escape velocity. You can find the escape velocity v for the Earth or any other planet from which a projectile might be launched using conservation of energy. The projectile of mass m leaves the surface of the body of mass M and radius R with a kinetic energy Ki = mv²/2 and potential energy Ui = -GMm/R. When the projectile reaches infinity, it has zero potential energy and zero kinetic energy since we are seeking the minimum speed for escape. Thus Uf = 0 and Kf = 0. And from conservation of energy,
Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf
mv²/2 -GMm/R = 0
∴ v = √(2GM/R) 

This is the expression for escape velocity.

An object is thrown upward with some velocity. If the object rises 77.5 m above the point of release, (a) how fast was the objec
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

v_o=39\ m/s\\t_m=4\ s

Explanation:

<u>Vertical Launch Upwards</u>

In a vertical launch upwards, an object is launched vertically up from a height H without taking into consideration any kind of friction with the air.

If vo is the initial speed and g is the acceleration of gravity, the maximum height reached by the object is given by:

\displaystyle h_m=H+\frac{v_o^2}{2g}

The object referred to in the question is thrown from a height H=0 and the maximum height is hm=77.5 m.

(a)

To find the initial speed we solve for vo:

\displaystyle v_o=\sqrt{2gh_m}

v_o=\sqrt{2\cdot 9.8\cdot 77.5}

v_o=39\ m/s

(b)

The maximum time or the time taken by the object to reach its highest  point is calculated as follows:

\displaystyle t_m=\frac{v_o}{g}

\displaystyle t_m=\frac{39}{9.8}

t_m=4\ s
