Answer:

It is not a property of light. It is your eyes and brain.

Specifically, the three kinds of cone cells in our eye that are sensitive to different ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. The fact that there are three means that color is three dimensional, and is the reason the pure colors form a circle even though the spectrum of wavelengths is linear.

Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum; light waves of different frequencies and wavelengths are distinguished as colors by the human eye. A prism can separate the colors of white light (dispersion) because different frequencies of light have different refractive indices for a given material.

What is environment balance

sesenic [268]

Answer:

If the number of organisms and biomass is in a proper proportion at different trophic levels in a region, the environment in that region is said to be balanced. This balance can get disturbed due to natural hazards or by human intervention.

A 0.40 kg ball is suspended from a spring with spring constant 12 n/m . part a if the ball is pulled down 0.20 m from the equili

PolarNik [594]

The total mechanical energy of the system at any time t is the sum of the kinetic energy of motion of the ball and the elastic potential energy stored in the spring:
$E=K+U= \frac{1}{2}mv^2+ \frac{1}{2}kx^2$
where m is the mass of the ball, v its speed, k the spring constant and x the displacement of the spring with respect its rest position.

Since it is a harmonic motion, kinetic energy is continuously converted into elastic potential energy and vice-versa.

When the spring is at its maximum displacement, the elastic potential energy is maximum (because the displacement x is maximum) while the kinetic energy is zero (because the velocity of the ball is zero), so in this situation we have:
$E=U_{max}= \frac{1}{2}k(x_{max})^2$

Instead, when the spring crosses its rest position, the elastic potential energy is zero (because x=0) and therefore the kinetic energy is at maximum (and so, the ball is at its maximum speed):
$E=K_{max}= \frac{1}{2}m(v_{max})^2$

Since the total energy E is always conserved, the maximum elastic potential energy should be equal to the maximum kinetic energy, and so we can find the value of the maximum speed of the ball:
$U_{max}=K_{max}$
$\frac{1}{2}k(x_{max})^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v_{max})^2$
$v_{max}= \sqrt{ \frac{k x_{max}^2}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{(12 N/m)(0.20 m)^2}{0.4 kg} }=1.1 m/s$

.) WHat is the force that causes the pendulum to fall?<br>

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The two forces that affect on the pendulum are the force of gravity,

Explanation:

⇒ There is the force of gravity that acts downward upon the bob. It results from the Earth's mass attracting the mass of the bob. And there is a tension force acting upward and towards the pivot point of the pendulum.

Therefore, I hope this helps!
