Answer:

B

Explanation:

The Sun's shine comes from right above the Equator. The Equator is south from the Rocky Mountains, so the sunshine comes from south and the shade (the opposite direction of the sun) is north.

A motor is used to lift a 10 kg mass 2 m above the ground in 4 s. If the power input to the motor is 100 W. what is the efficien
Bad White [126]

Answer:

98%

Explanation:

Given parameters

Mass of motor = 10kg

Height = 2m

Time = 2s

Power input = 100w

Unknown

Efficiency = ?

Solution

Efficiency is the percentage of the power output to the power input.

Power is the rate at which work is done.

Power output = mass x g x height / time

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Power output = 10x 2 x 9.8 / 2 = 98W

Efficiency = power output/ power input x 100

Efficiency = 98/100 x 100 = 98%

Isaac Newton used a ____ to break white light into its component colors.
ivann1987 [24]
<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>
