Answer:

380 to 700 nanometers

Explanation:

The visible light spectrum is the segment of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can view. More simply, this range of wavelengths is called visible light. Typically, the human eye can detect wavelengths from 380 to 700 nanometers.

Answer:

F = 6666.7 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a chip, m = 0.1 mg

Initial speed, u = 0

Final speed, $v=4\times 10^{3}\ m/s$

Time of collision, $t=6\times 10^{-8}\ s$

We know that,

Force, F = ma

Put all the values,

$F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{0.1\times 10^{-6}\times (4\times 10^3-0)}{6\times 10^{-8}}\\\\F=6666.7\ N$

So, the required force is 6666.7 N.

What must the diver's minimum speed be just as she leaves the top of the cliff so that she will miss the ledge at the bottom, wh

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

1.08 m/s

Explanation:

This can be solved with two steps, first we need to find the time taken to fall 9.5 m, then we can divide the horizontal distance covered with time taken to calculate the velocity.

Time taken to fall 9.5 m

vertical acceleration = a = 9.8 m/s^2.

vertical velocity = 0, (since there is only horizontal component for velocity, )

distance traveled s = 9.5 m.

Substituting these values in the equation

$s= u \timest+0.5at^{2}$

$t= \sqrt{\frac{2s}{g} }$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2\times9.5}{9.8} }$

⇒ t= 1.392 sec

Velocity needed

We know the time taken (1.392 s) to travel 1.5 m,

So velocity = 1.5 m / 1.392 s = 1.08 m/s

hence velocity of the diver must be at least 1.08 m/s

A basketball player standing under the hoop launches the ball straight up with an initial velocity of v₀ = 3.25 m/s from 2.5 m a

matrenka [14]

Answer: 0.53m

Explanation:

According to the equation of motion v²= v₀²+2as

Since the body is launched upward, the final velocity at the maximum height will be "zero" since the body will momentarily be at rest at the maximum height i.e v = 0

Initial velocity given (v₀) = 3.25 m/s

The body is also under the influence of gravity but the acceleration due to gravity will be negative being an upward force (a = -g) and the distance (s) will serve as our maximum height (h)

The equation of motion will.now become

V = v₀² -2gh

Where v = 0 v₀ = 3.25m/s g = 10m/s h = ?

0 = 3.25² - 2(10)h

0 = 10.56 - 20h

-10.56 = -20h

h = 10.56/20

h = 0.53m

Therefore, the maximum height, h (in meters), above the launch point that the basketball will achieve is 0.53m
