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.

I'm not really sure how to go about creating the equation, can anyone help me?

AlexFokin [52]

The displacement vector (SI units) is
$\vec{r} =At\hat{i}+A[t^{3}-6t^{2}]\hat{j}$

The speed is a scalar quantity. Its magnitude is
$v= \sqrt{A^{2}t^{2}+A^{2}(t^{3}-6t^{2})^{2}} \\ v=A \sqrt{t^{2}+t^{6}-12t^{5}+36t^{4}} \\ v=At \sqrt{t^{4}-12t^{3}+36t^{2}+1}$

Answer: At√(t⁴ - 12t³ + 36t² + 1)

Which symbol represents a type of electromagnetic radiation released during radioactive decay?

Lena [83]

The correct option is (D) Gamma ( $_0^0\gamma$ )

Explanation:
Now this question is a tricky one because all of these options are somehow involved in radioactive decay; however, in this case the SYMBOL is required NOT the elements. There are three symbols involved in radioactive decay, which are:
1. α for alpha decay
2. β for beta decay
3. γ for gamma decay

In the options only one symbol is present which is gamma. Hence option (D) Gamma ( $_0^0\gamma$ ) is the correct answer.

What force is needed to accelerate a 1,000-kilogram car from a stop to 5 m/s/s?

solong [7]

That depends on how soon you want it to reach 5 m/s/s. Without friction, ANY force will accelerate the car, like a mosquito pushing on it, but a Space Shuttle booster will accelerate it at a greater rate.

A child bounces a 48 g superball on the sidewalk. the velocity change of the superball is from 26 m/s downward to 17 m/s upward.

Nataly_w [17]

By definition we have the momentum is:
P = m * v
Where,
m = mass
v = speed
Before the impact:
P1 = (0.048) * (26) = 1.248 kg * m / s
After the impact:
P2 = (0.048) * (- 17) = -0.816 Kg * m / s.
Then we have that deltaP is:
deltaP = P2-P1
deltaP = (- 0.816) - (1,248)
deltaP = -2,064 kg * m / s.
Then, by definition:
deltaP = F * delta t
Clearing F:
F = (deltaP) / (delta t)
Substituting the values
F = (- 2.064) / (1/800) = - 1651.2N
answer:
the magnitude of the average force exerted on the superball by the sidewalk is 1651.2N
