The separation of white light into its component colors is

Physics
1 answer:
Julli [10]3 years ago
5 0
<h2>Answer: dispersion</h2>

The dispersion of light occurs when a beam of white light (which is compound of many wavelengths or "colors") is refracted (the different rays of light are diverted depending on their wavelengths) in some medium, leaving their constituent colors separated.

The best known case is when a beam of white light from the sun passes through a prism, thus obtaining rays of different colors like those of the rainbow.

This phenomenom was named by Isaac Newton in the  eighteenth century, who performed the experiment explained above.

Hence, the correct option is C.

A race car starting from rest accelerates uniformly at a rate of 4.90 meters per squared. What is the cars speed after it has tr
shusha [124]
Ok, we need to find a relation for the speed as it relates to the acceleration.  This is given by the integral of acceleration:

v= \int\limits^{t}_{0} {a} \, dt' =at

Where we have the initial velocity is 0m/s and a will be 4.90m/s².

But we see there is an issue now... We know the velocity as a function of time, but we don't know how long the car has been accelerating!  We need to calculate this time by now finding the position function as a function of time.  This way we can solve for the time, t, that it takes to go 200m accelerating this way and then substitute that time into our velocity equation and get the velocity. 
Position is just the integral of velocity:

s= \int\limits^{}_{} {at} \, dt = \frac{1}{2}at^2

Where the initial velocity and initial position are both zero.

Now we set this position function equal to 200m and find the time, t, it took to get there

\frac{1}{2}(a \frac{m}{s^2} )t^2=200m \\  \\ \frac{1}{2}4.90 \frac{m}{s^2} t^2=200m \\  \\ t^2= \frac{400m}{4.90 \frac{m}{s^2}}=81.63s^2 \\  \\ t= \sqrt{81.63s^2 }  =9.04s

Now let's put t=9.04s into our velocity equation:

v =at=4.9\frac{m}{s^2} \times 9.04s=44.3 \frac{m}{s}
