Answer: The correct answer is graph A.
Explanation:
See Khan Academy.
Rainbows are caused by the dispersion of light, which itself consists of a combination of refraction and reflection of light around little droplets of water.
Choice C
Answer:
V = 2.87 m/s
Explanation:
The minimum speed required would be that at which the acceleration due to gravity is negated by the centrifugal force on the water.
Thus, we simply need to set the centripetal acceleration equal to gravity and solve for the speed V using the following equation:
Centripetal acceleration = V^2 / r
where r is the distance of water from the pivot or shoulder.
For our case, r will be 0.65 + 0.19 = 0.84 m
and solving the above equation we get:
9.81 = V^2 / 0.84
V^2 = 8.2404
V = 2.87 m/s
