Why do we see colors in a rainbow

1 answer:

6 0

-When sunlight strikes a falling drop of water it is refracted, changed indirection, by the surface of the water.
The light continues into the drop and is reflected from the back of the drop to the front. When the beam hits the front it is refracted again and emerges from the drop as the color spectrum that we see in a rainbow.-The water drop acts like a prism to seperate the light into its different wave lengths.

Mr. Miles zips down a water-slide starting at 15 m vertical distance up the scaffolding. Disregarding friction, what is the velo

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The velocity of the Mr. miles is 17.14 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mr. Miles zips down a water-slide starting at 15 m vertical distance up the scaffolding, h = 15 m

We need to find the velocity of the Mr. Miles at the bottom of the slide. It is a case of conservation of energy which states that the total energy of the system remains conserved. Let v is the velocity of the Mr. miles. So,

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

g is the acceleration due to gravity

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 15}$

v = 17.14 m/s

So, the velocity of the Mr. miles is 17.14 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A six pack of your favorite beverage (12 fl. oz. cans, assumed to have the same characteristics as water) is placed in a cooler

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

$Q = 169 BTU$

Explanation:

As we know that volume is given as

$V = 12 Fl oz$

so it is given in liter as

$V = 12 fl oz = 0.355 Ltr$

now we have six pack of such volume

so total volume is given as

$V = 6\times 0.355 Ltr$

$V = 2.13 ltr$

so its mass is given as

$m = 2.13 kg$

now the change in temperature is given as

$\Delta T = 70 - 34 = 36 ^oF$

$\Delta T = 20^oC$

now the heat given to the liquid is given as

$Q = ms\Delta T$

$Q = 2.13(4186)(20)$

$Q = 1.78 \times 10^5 J$

$Q = 169 BTU$

If the air temperature is greater than the surface (water or land) temperature, there will be a net transfer of thermal energy f

ruslelena [56]

The thermal energy will be transferred from the air to the surface. Hence, the answer is false.

Thermal energy can be transferred from higher temperatures to lower temperatures. It is obey the second law of thermodynamics

"At a very microscopic level, it simply says that if you have a system that is isolated, any natural process in that system progresses in the direction of increasing disorder, or entropy, of the system."

It means that heat energy transferred from the higher temperature and the lower temperature states will absorb heat energy from the surrounding. The thermal energy will be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation.

A spring 1.50 m long with force constant 448 N/m is hung from the ceiling of an elevator, and a block of mass 10.9 kg is attache

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the extension in the spring be x .

restoring force = weight of block

kx = mg

x = $\frac{10.9\times9.8}{448}$

= 23.84 cm

b )

When the elevator is going upwards

Restoring force = mg + ma

k x₁ = 10.9 ( 9.8 + 1.89 )

x₁ = 28.44 cm

( y coordinate will be - ( 28.44 - 23.84 ) = - 4.6 cm )

c ) When the cable snaps , both elevator and block undergo free fall . In this case apparent g = 0

Since the spring is stretched by 28.44 cm , a restoring force continues to act on the block which is equal to

.2844 x 448

= 127.41 N

So a net acceleration a will act on the block

a = 127.41 / 10.9

= 11.68 m / s²

The block will undergo SHM with amplitude equal to 28.44 cm .
