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: KE = 62.5J
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of object = 5kg
kinetic energy KE = ?
velocity of object = 5m/s
Since kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, and it depends on the mass (m) of the object and the velocity (v) by which it moves. Therefore, the object has kinetic energy.
i.e K.E = 1/2mv^2
KE = 1/2 x 5kg x (5m/s)^2
KE = 0.5 x 5 x 25
KE = 62.5J
Thus, the object has 62.5 joules of kinetic energy.
Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.
Time taken by the bowling ball to reach its highest point= 0.214 s
initial velocity= Vi=2.1 m/s
Final velocity= Vf=0 as the velocity at the highest point is zero.
acceleration= g= -9.8 m/s²
using the kinematic equation Vf= Vi + at
0= 2.1 + (-9.8)t
t= -2.1/-9.8
t=0.214 s
Thus the time taken by the bowling ball to reach its highest point is 0.214 s
