What is centripetal force?

1 answer:

8 0

The centripetal force is force acting on a body in circular motion. In circular motion, velocity is always on tangent and if we took 2 different positions on a circle, the change on velocity is a vector pointing in the middle of circle. In circular motion velocity is constant, and acceleration lies on radius of circle pointing to te middle. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration, and the force is centripetal.

Answer: You will only see the color that cellophane lets through

Explanation:

Let's begin by the fact the whole electromagnetic spectrum is known as "white light", which is composed by a range of colors (wavelengths).

Now, if we have a source with white light (the Sun, for example) and we interpose a cellophane of any color (let's choose red), this cellophane will act as a filter and will only let pass the color of the cellophane.

This is because the filter will absorb the other colors of the spectrum.
