DENIUS [597]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

1.The light reflected from the CD/DVD or soap bubble or oil film forms an interference with the surrounding light. The inference both constructive and destructive making some color appear and some disappear.

2.As light behaves as wave it will interfere differently at different angles. At certain angle it will interfere constructively and at certain angle it will interfere destructively making some color brighter and some disappear. So, at different angles the color are different.

Each of two small non-conducting spheres is charged positively, the combined charge being 40 μC. When the two spheres are 50 cm
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

1.44 x 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

q_{1} = charge on one sphere

q_{2} = charge on other sphere

q = Total charge on the two spheres = 40 μC

q_{1}+ q_{2} = q

q_{1}+ q_{2} = 40 x 10⁻⁶

q_{1} = (40 x 10⁻⁶) - q_{2}                                   eq-1

r = distance between the two spheres = 50 cm = 0.50 m

F = magnitude of force between the two spheres = 2.0 N

Magnitude of force between the two spheres is given as

F = \frac{k q_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2}}

2.0 = \frac{(9\times 10^{9}) ((40\times 10^{-6}) - q_{2}) q_{2}}{0.50^{2}}

q_{2} = 1.44 x 10⁻⁶ C

A flying stationary kite is acted on by a force of 9.8 N downward. The wind exerts a force of 45 N at an angle of 50.0 degrees a
Savatey [412]

Answer:

38 N, 40.0° below the horizontal

Explanation:

Force exerted by an object equals mass times acceleration of that object: F = m ⨉ a. To use this formula, you need to use SI units: Newtons for force, kilograms for mass, and meters per second squared for acceleration.

Two asteroids in outer space collide, and stick together. The mass of each asteroid, and the velocity of each asteroid before th
Naddik [55]

Answer: (2) Use the Momentum Principle.

Explanation:

In fact, it is called the <u>Conservation of linear momentum principle,</u> which establishes the initial momentum p_{i} of the asteroids before the collision must be equal to the final momentum p_{f} after the collision, no matter if the collision was elastic or inelastic (in which the kinetic energy is not conserved).

In this sense, the linear momentum p of a body is defined as:

p=mV

Where m is the mass and V the velocity.

Therefore, the useful approach in this situation is<u> option (2)</u>.

The mass of a particular eagle is twice that of a hunted pigeon. Suppose the pigeon is flying north at ????????,2=17.9vi,2=17.9
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

V=27.24 m/s

Explanation:

We need to apply the linear momentum conservation theorem:

m_1*v_{o1}+m_2*v_{o2}=m_t*v_{f}\\

The velocity of the eagle its defined by its two components:

v_x=V*cos(\theta)\\v_y=V*sin(\theta)\\v_x=35.9*cos(61.9^o)=16.9m/s\\v_y=35.9*sin(61.9^o)=31.7m/s

2*(16.9m/s(i)+31.66m/s(j))+17.9m/s(i)=3*v_f\\v_f=17.23m/s(i)+21.10m/s(j)

because speed is a scalar value:

V=\sqrt{(21.10m/s)^2+(17.23)^2}\\V=27.24m/s

The angle a vector makes with the x-axis of a coordinate system must be what size in order to make one or more of its components
Ostrovityanka [42]
The 1st quadrant (0-90 degrees) is the only quadrant where none of the components are negative, so that means that any angle larger than 90 degrees will result in one of the components being negative.
