Answer:

When white light shines on the bubble, it acts as a prism. While some of the white light bounces back off, some of them pass through the prism forming fringes of colors. But then, they too bounce off the inner part of the film. So one set of light rays shine into a soap bubble, but two sets of rays come back out again. When they emerge, the waves that bounce off the inner film have traveled a tiny bit further than the waves that bounced off the outer film. So, we have two sets of light waves. After that, the waves starts merging (Just like the ripples in the pond) . Some add together while some cancel out. That is why we see the pattern of colors repeating in the thin film soap.

anyanavicka [17]

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object acted upon a force that pulls it toward the center of origin. For constant speed, there is no acceleration, since acceleration is defined as the difference of velocities at an elapsed time. Hence, if speed doubles, then the centripetal acceleration would increase as well.

Two 1.0 kg masses are 4.0 m apart on a frictionless table. Each has 1.0μC of charge. Part A What is the magnitude of the electri

9966 [12]

Force between two charges is given by

$F =\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

$F =\frac{9*10^9* 1* 10^{-6}* 1 * 10^{-6}}{4^2}$

$F = 5.625 * 10^{-4} N$

Now in order to find the acceleration of each mass

we can use

F = ma

$5.625 * 10^{-4} = 1 * a$

$a= 5.625 * 10^{-4} m/s^2$

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

1.6 ft/min

Explanation:

Since trough is 10 ft long and water is filled at the rate of 12ft3/min. We can calculate the rate of water filled with respect to area:

= 12 / 10 = 1.2ft2/min

As the water level rises, so does the water surface, or the bottom side of the isosceles triangles. In fact we can calculate the bottom side when the trough is half foot deep:

= 3 / 2 = 1.5 ft

The rate of change in water level would be the same as calculating the height of the isosceles triangles knowing its base

= 1.2 * 2 / 1.5 = 1.6 ft/min
