<h2>Answer: Prism</h2>

In the eighteenth century Isaac Newton found out that <u>when a beam of light from the Sun, passes trhough a prism is decomposed in many different colors</u>. He named this phenomenom as dispersion of light.

This phenomenom 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.  

Therefore:

Lynna [10]

Answer: 5.34 MJ

Explanation: The window is a rectangle with area:

A = 1.1(1.5)

A = 1.65 m²

We know that only 0.9 kW/m² reaches Earth so:

P = 0.9\frac{kW}{m^{2}}(1.65)m^{2}

P = 1.485 x 10³ W

Watts is an unit of Power and it can also be written as J/s.

An hour has 3600s or 3.6 x 10³s, so:

E = 1.485 x 10³ \frac{J}{s}(3.6 x 10³s)

E = 5.346 x 10⁶ J

Mega is equal to 10⁶, then:

E = 5.35 MJ

A 1.1 m by 1.5 m window collects, during 1 hour of daylight, 5.35 MJ

Calculate the mag-netic field (magnitude and direc-tion) at a point p due to a current i=12.0 a in the wire shown in fig. p28.68
creativ13 [48]

Complete Question

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The magnitude is   B= 4.2 *10^ {-6}T , the direction is into the page

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

        The current  is i = 12.0 A

        The radius of arc  bc is r_{bc} = 30.0 \ cm =\frac{30}{100} = 0.3m

        The radius  of arc da is r_{da} = 20.0 \ cm = \frac{20}{100} = 0.20 \ m

        The length of segment cd and ab is = l = 10cm = \frac{10}{100} = 0.10 m

The objective of the solution is to obtain the magnetic field

    Generally magnetic due to the current flowing in the arc is mathematically represented as

             B = \frac{\mu_o I}{4 \pi r}

 Here I is the current

         \mu_o is the permeability of free space with a value of 4\pi *10^{-7}T \cdot m/A

            r is the distance

Considering Arc da

         B_{da} = \frac{\mu_o I}{4 \pi r_{da}} \theta

Where \theta is the angle the arc da makes with the center  from the diagram its value is  \theta = 120^o = 120^o * \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{2\pi}{3} rad

     Now substituting values into formula for magnetic field for da

                    B_{da} = \frac{4\p *10^{-7} * 12}{4 \pi (0.20)}[\frac{2 \pi}{3} ]

                           = \frac{10^{-7} * 12}{0.20} * [\frac{2 \pi}{3} ]

                   B_{da}= 12.56*10^{-6} T

Looking at the diagram to obtain the direction of the current and using right hand rule then we would obtain the the direction of magnetic field due to da is into the pages of the paper

Considering Arc bc

             B_{bc} = \frac{\mu_o I}{4 \pi r_{bc}} \theta

Substituting value

          B_{bc} = \frac{4 \pi *10^{-7} * 12}{4 \pi (0.30)} [\frac{2 \pi}{3} ]

                B_{bc}= 8.37*10^{-6}T

Looking at the diagram to obtain the direction of the current and using right hand rule then we would obtain the the direction of magnetic field due to bc is out of  the pages of the paper

Since the line joining P to segment bc and da makes angle = 0°

     Then the net magnetic field would be

                 B = B_{da} - B{bc}

                     = 12.56*10^{-6} - 8.37*10^{-6}

                     = 4.2 *10^ {-6}T

       Since B_{da} > B_{bc} then the direction of the net charge would be into the page

A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1200 kg, which is required to travel upward 54 m in
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The average power is calculated as 735.0 W

Solution:

As per the question:

Total mass, M = 1200 kg

Counter mass of the elevator, m = 950

Distance traveled by the elevator, d = 54 m

Time taken, t = 3 min = 180 s

Now,

To calculate the average power:

First, we find the force needed for lifting the weight:

Force, F = (M - m)g = (1200 - 950)\times 9.8 = 2450 N

Now, the work done by this force:

W = Fd = 2450\times 54 = 132300\ J = 132.3\ kJ

Average power is given as:

P_{avg} = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{132300}{180} = 735.0\ W
