c A ray of light is divided into its constituent colors by the first prism (left), and the resulting bundle of colred rays is reconstituted into white light by the second. Our modern understanding of light and color begins with Isaac Newton (1642-1726) and a series of experiments that he publishes in 1672.

Answer:

The correct answer is Isaac Newton , option C

Explanation:

During the 1660’s, Newton, an English physicist, started some experiments with sunlight and prisms to know more about the optic field. He passed sunlight through a prism and separated the light beam into various colours. Once he did it, he discovered and understood that this could happened because every different ray of colour is diverged by the glassy prism by a different amount. Consequently, he could conclude that white light passes through a translucent medium, such as air, into another like glass, the components are glanced the first-time up t their colour and when they go back to air they do it again. This created the spectrum with the rainbow colours.

A pitcher throws a curveball that reaches the catcher in 0.64 s. The ball curves because it is spinning at an average angular ve

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

$\Delta \theta=19.44\ rad$

Explanation:

We just have to calculate what angular displacement a ball with an average angular velocity of 290 rev/min experiments in 0.64s. By definition, angular velocity $\omega$ is the angular displacement $\Delta \theta$ divided by the time elapsed:

$\omega=\frac{\Delta \theta}{\Delta t}$

Since $1\ rev=2\pi \ rad$ and $1\ min=60\ s$ , we can covert:

$\omega=290\ rev/min=\frac{290\ rev}{min}(\frac{1\ min}{60s})(\frac{2\pi \ rad}{1\ rev})=30.37\ rad/s$

Where the terms between parenthesis are equal to 1, so they just change the units. Then for our values we have:

$\Delta \theta=\omega \Delta t=(30.37\ rad/s)(0.64s)=19.44\ rad$

A turtle accelerates from a stop at 3m/s/s to the South for 8s. What is the turtle’s final velocity? Show your work and include

andrey2020 [161]

He's accelerating at 3 m/s² . That means his speed is increasing by 3 m/s every second.At the end of 8 seconds, his speed is (8 x 3 m/s) = 24 m/s .He's been moving south for the whole 8 seconds.So at the end of that time, his velocity is 24 m/s south .

Both retinal disparity and convergence increase as an object gets closer to the individual.

Gnom [1K]

That statement is true

Retinal disparity : space between your eyes that allow binocular vision to create depth perception

Retinal Convergence : Space between your eyes that signal visual moves to the retina

They both will increases as an object get closer to the individual, allowing them acknowledge and observe the existence of the object

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters whiling away time by playing 'tug of war' between practice sessions. They hold on to opposite

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters, since both are on top of ice, we assume that friction is negligible.

We know that from Newton's Second Law;

Force = mass × Acceleration

F = ma

Since they hold on to opposite ends of the same rope. They have the same magnitude of force |F|, which is the same as the tension in the rope.

Now,

Mass $_{Hank$ × Acceleration $_{Hank$ = Mass $_{Henry$ × Acceleration $_{Henry$

Mass $_{Hank$ / Mass $_{Henry$ = Acceleration $_{Henry$ / Acceleration $_{Hank$

given that; magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration,

Mass $_{Hank$ / Mass $_{Henry$ = 1 / 1.26

Mass $_{Hank$ / Mass $_{Henry$ = 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Therefore, the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]
