The red light from the ant passed into the lens
s344n2d4d5 [400]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>When red light enters the lens its wavelength decreases but its frequency remains the same. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Lens is made of glass which is a <em>denser medium</em> when compared with air. Thus light will undergo refraction and bend toward the normal. On entering  a denser medium from rarer medium the speed of light decreases.

<em>Speed, frequency and wavelength of an electromagnetic wave</em> are related according to the equation.

<em>                                                                 v=ϑλ </em>

Where is <em>v is the frequency,  λ is the wavelength and v is the speed of the em wave. </em>

On entering the lens the wavelength of the red light as well as speed decreases but the<em> frequency remains the same. </em>

The motivation for Isaac Newton to discover his laws of motion was to explain the properties of planetary orbits that were obser
ELEN [110]

Answer:

a)  v² = G M R³,  b)  T = 2π /\sqrt{GMR}, c)  m \sqrt{GMR^5 }

Explanation:

a) The kinetic energy is

         K = ½ m v²

       

to find the velocity let's use Newton's second law

          F = m a

acceleration is centripetal

           a = v² / R

           

force is the universal force of attraction

           F = G m M / r²

we substitute

          G m M R² = m v² R

          v² = G M R³

           

the kinetic energy is

          K = ½ m G M R³

b) angular and linear velocity are related

          v = w R

          w = v / R

          w = \frac{\sqrt{GMR^3  }}{R}

          w = \sqrt{GMR}

the angular velocity is related to the period

          w = 2π / T

          T = 2π / w

we substitute

           T = 2π /\sqrt{GMR}

c) the angular moeomto is

            L = m v r

            L = m RA G M R³ R

            L =  m \sqrt{GMR^5 }

A sled of mass 15 kg slides across the ground with a friction force of 80.85 N. What is k between the sled and the ground?
Dvinal [7]
The expression for the frictional force between the sled and the ground is:
F=k m g
where k is the coefficient of friction, m is the mass of the object and g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration.

The friction force in our problem is F=80.85 N. The mass of the object is m=15 kg. Re-arranging the formula, we can find the value of k:
k= \frac{F}{mg}= \frac{80.85 N}{(15 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)}=0.55

On a winter day with a temperature of -10°C, 500g of snow (water ice) is brought inside where the temperature is 18 °C. The snow
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of ice m = 500g = .5 kg

Heat required to raise the temperature of ice by 10 degree

= mass of ice x specific heat of ice x change in temperature

= .5 x 2093 x 10 J

10465 J

Heat required to melt the ice

= mass of ice x latent heat

0.5 x 334 x 10³ J

167000 J

Heat required to raise its temperature to 18 degree

= mass x specific heat of water x rise in temperature

= .5 x 4182 x 18

=37638 J

Total heat

=10465 +167000+ 37638

=215103 J
