Why is a spectrum of colors produced when white light passes through a prism?

1 answer:

4 0

Explanation: White light is all colors of light in one, so when white light passes through a prism, the light gets refracted and breaks apart into all of the colors on the visible light spectrum.

Un tren emplea cierto tiempo en recorrer 240 km. Si la velocidad hubiera sido 20 km por hora mas que la que llevaba hubiera tard

podryga [215]

Answer:

A train takes some time to travel 240 km. If the speed had been 20 km per hour more than the one it was carrying, it would have taken 2 hours less to travel this distance. In what time did he cover the 240 km

Explanation:

Given that,

A train travelled a distance of 240km

Let the initial speed be

S_1 = x km/hr

Let assume the time spent on the first journey is

t_1 = a

Now if he increase the speed to

S_2 = (x + 20) km/hr

Then, he would have take 2hrs less time

Then, time t_2 = a - 2

The common data fore the two journey is the distance

Speed = distance / time

For the first stage

S_1 = d / t_1

d = S_1 × a

d = x × a

240 = x•a

x = 240 / a Equation 1

For stage two

d = S_2 × t_2

d = (x+20) × (a - 2)

240 = (x+20) × (a - 2). Equation 2

Substitute equation 1 into 2

240 = (240/a + 20) × (a -2)

240 = 240 - 480/a + 20a - 40

240 - 240 + 40 = - 480/a + 20a

240 - 240 + 40 = (-480 + 20a²) / a

40 = (-480 + 20a²) / a

40a = -480 + 20a²

20a² - 40a -480 = 0

Divided through by 20

a² - 2a - 24 = 0

a² + 4a - 6a - 24 = 0

a(a+4) -6(a+4) = 0

(a-6)(a+4) = 0

(a-6) = 0 or (a+4) = 0

So, a = 6 or a = -4

The time cannot be negative, then, the time is a = 6hours

So, t_1 = a = 6hours,

So, the time used in the first journey is 6hours

So, in the second journey the time use is 2hours less than the first journey

Then, t_2 = 6 - 2 = 4 hours

t_1 = 6 hours

t_2 = 4 hours

Un tren recorrió una distancia de 240 km.

Deje que la velocidad inicial sea

S_1 = x km / h

Supongamos que el tiempo dedicado al primer viaje es

t_1 = a

Ahora si aumenta la velocidad a

S_2 = (x + 20) km / h

Entonces, habría tomado 2 horas menos de tiempo

Entonces, el tiempo t_2 = a - 2

Los datos comunes para los dos viajes son la distancia.

Velocidad = distancia / tiempo

Para la primera etapa

S_1 = d / t_1

d = S_1 × a

d = x × a

240 = x • a

x = 240 / a Ecuación 1

Para la etapa dos

d = S_2 × t_2

d = (x + 20) × (a - 2)

240 = (x + 20) × (a - 2). Ecuación 2

Sustituye la ecuación 1 en 2

240 = (240 / a + 20) × (a -2)

240 = 240 - 480 / a + 20a - 40

240 - 240 + 40 = - 480 / a + 20a

240 - 240 + 40 = (-480 + 20a²) / a

40 = (-480 + 20a²) / a

40a = -480 + 20a²

20a² - 40a -480 = 0

Dividido entre 20

a² - 2a - 24 = 0

a² + 4a - 6a - 24 = 0

a (a + 4) -6 (a + 4) = 0

(a-6) (a + 4) = 0

(a-6) = 0 o (a + 4) = 0

Entonces, a = 6 o a = -4

El tiempo no puede ser negativo, entonces, el tiempo es a = 6 horas

Entonces, t_1 = a = 6 horas,

Entonces, el tiempo utilizado en el primer viaje es de 6 horas

Entonces, en el segundo viaje, el uso del tiempo es 2 horas menos que el primer viaje

Entonces, t_2 = 6 - 2 = 4 horas

t_1 = 6 horas

t_2 = 4 horas

How much heat is released when a 10.0-g sample of iron cools from 75.0°c to 25.5 °c? the specific heat capacity of iron is 0.449

GalinKa [24]

M = 10.0 g, the mass of the iron sample
ΔT = 75 - 25.2 = 49.5°C, the decrease in temperature
c = 0.449 J/(g-°C), the specific heat of iron

The heat released is
Q = m*c*ΔT
= (10.0 g)*(0.449 J/(g-°C))*(49.5 C)
= 222.255 J

Answer: 222.3 J (nearest tenth)

Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 280-Hz sound wave. What is the smallest separation distance b

Annette [7]

Answer:

1.21m

Explanation:

If two speakers are generating a frequency of 280Hz, the smallest separation distance between the speakers that will produce destructive interference at a listener standing in front of them is also known as the wavelength of the sound wave generated.

Using the expression;

Velocity v = frequency f × wavelength ¶

Given frequency = 280Hz, speed of sound v = 338m/s

Substituting this data's in the expression given to get the wavelength will give;

¶ = v/f

¶ = 338/280

¶ = 1.21m

The smallest separation between the speakers that will produce the interference is 1.21m

a race car accelerates uniformly from 18.5 m/s to 46.1m/s in 2.47 seconds detrrmine the acceleration of the car and distance tra

LenaWriter [7]

Because acceleration is constant, the acceleration of the car at any time is the same as its average acceleration over the duration. So

$a=\dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{46.1\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}-18.5\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}{2.47\,\mathrm s}=11.2\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

Now, we have that

${v_f}^2-{v_0}^2=2a\Delta x$

so we end up with a distance traveled of

$\left(46.1\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2-\left(18.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2=2\left(11.2\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\Delta x$

$\implies\Delta x=79.6\,\mathrm m$
