<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:

<h2>Isaac Newton used a <u>prism</u> to break white light into its component colors.</h2>

How can we describe, model, and explain the material world, and are there limitations?

taurus [48]

Answer:· A model is a description of natural phenomenon that scientists can use to make predictions. A good model is both as accurate as possible and as simple as possible, which makes it not only powerful but also easy to understand. However, no matter how good they are, models will almost always have limitations.

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 2.59 times a second. A tack is stuck in the tire a

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Tangential speed=5.4 m/s

Radial acceleration= $88.6m/s^2$

Explanation:

We are given that

Angular speed=2.59 rev/s

We know that

1 revolution= $2\pi rad$

2.59 rev= $2\pi\times 2.59=5.18\pi=5.18\times 3.14=16.27 rad/s$

By using $\pi=3.14$

Angular velocity= $\omega=16.27rad/s$

Distance from axis=r=0.329 m

Tangential speed= $r\omega=16.27\times 0.329=5.4m/s$

Radial acceleration= $\frac{v^2}{r}$

Radial acceleration= $\frac{(5.4)^2}{0.329}=88.6m/s^2$

What is the magnetic field amplitude of an electromagnetic wave whose electric field amplitude is 10v/m?

Nitella [24]

Answer:

$3.33\cdot 10^{-8} T$

Explanation:

For an electromagnetic wave, the relationship between magnetic field amplitude and electric field amplitude is given by

$E=cB$

where

E is the amplitude of the electric field

c is the speed of light

B is the amplitude of the magnetic field

For the electromagnetic wave in this problem, we have

E = 10 V/m is the amplitude of the electric field

So if we solve the formula for B, we find the amplitude of the magnetic field:

$B=\frac{E}{c}=\frac{10 V/m}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=3.33\cdot 10^{-8} T$

If the net force on a block is zero

amm1812

If the net force on a block is zero, the block will move at constant velocity

Explanation:

We can answer this question by applying Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:

$\sum F = ma$ (1)

where

$\sum F$ is the net force on the object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have a block, and the net force on it is zero:

$\sum F = 0$

According to eq.(1), this also implies that

$a=0$

So, the acceleration of the block is zero.

However, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of a body:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

where $\Delta v$ is the change in velocity in a time of $\Delta t$ . Since the acceleration is zero, this means that $\Delta v=0$ , and therefore the velocity of the object is constant.

if you use the compound pulley, you will need to pull twice the distance but with less force. the force you need is equal to one

algol13

Answer:

F= 25/2 = 12.5N

Explanation:

When you use a compound pulley the force required depends on the mechanical advantage of the compound pulley. This is known as rate of loss of distance or the ratio of the force to the load.

M.A = Effort distance /Load distance. OR M.A = Load/Effort
