What is meant by a colored shadow? If "shadow" means

Physics
1 answer:
Natasha_Volkova [10]2 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Red, green, and blue are therefore called additive primaries of light. ... When you block two lights, you see a shadow of the third color—for example, block the red and green lights and you get a blue shadow. If you block only one of the lights, you get a shadow whose color is a mixture of the other two.

First, your definition of a shadow is incorrect. A shadow is an area that receives less light than its surroundings because a specific source of light is blocked by whatever is "casting" the shadow. Your example of being outside reveals this. The sky and everything around you in the environment (unless you are surrounded by pitch black buildings) is sending more than enough light into your shadow, to reveal the pen to your eyes. The sky itself diffuses the sunlight everywhere, and the clouds reflect plenty of light when they are not directly in front of the Sun.

If you are indoors and have two light bulbs, you can throw two shadows at the same time, possibly of different darknesses, depending on the brightness of the light bulbs.

It can take a lot of work to get a room pitch black. One little hole or crack in some heavy window curtains can be enough to illuminate the room. There are very few perfectly dark shadows.

A karate master strikes a board with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s, decreasing to 1.0 m/s as his hand passes through the board
kenny6666 [7]

The force exerted on the board by the karate master given the data is -4500 N

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 1 m/s
  • Time (t) = 0.002 s
  • Mass (m) = 1 Kg
  • Force (F) = ?
<h3>How to determine the force</h3>

The force exerted can be obtained as illustrated below:

F = m(v - u) / t

F = 1 (1 - 10) / 0.002

F = (1 × -9) / 0.002

F = -4500 N

A plastic tube allows a flow of 15.9 cm3 /s of water through it. how long will it take to fill a 237 cm3 bottle with water? answ
xxMikexx [17]
You are given a fixed rate of 15.9 cm³/s. You are also given with the amount of volume in 237 cm³. Through the approach of dimensional analysis, you can manipulate through operations such that the end result of the units must be in seconds. The solution is as follows:

237 cm³ * (1 s/15.9 cm³) = 14.9 seconds

If a population of 1,000 individuals has 160 rr genotypes, what is the frequency of the rr genotype?
lesya692 [45]
The frequency of a genotype is how often it occurs. This can be obtained by:
number of occurrences / total population
= 160 / 1000
= 0.16 or 16%

Zeros are always considered significant digits when they are to the left of the decimal point
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Zeros to the left of a decimal can be insignificant place holders, such as in 0.043 (two significant figures).

They can be significant if they are between two digits who themselves are significant, such as in 101.000 (three significant figures).

In the case of a number like 1,000 we can see there is only one significant figure. The zero digits are not between sigfigs.
