Answer:

dispersion

As per your query the splitting of white or visible light into its component colours is known as dispersion. The splitting of white light when it passes through a glass prism into its constituent spectrum of colours is hereby known as dispersion.

You observe a plane approaching overhead and assume that its speed is 600 miles per hour. The angle of elevation of the plane is

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:4.34 miles

Explanation:

first Elevation = $19^{\circ}$

After 1 minute Elevation changes to $59^{\circ}$

Ditsance travelled in 1 minute = $600\times \frac{1}{60}$ =10 mile

Now

tan59= $\frac{H}{x}$

H=xtan59

tan19= $\frac{H}{10+x}$

H= $\left ( 10+x\right )tan19$

Equating H

we get

1.319x=10tan19

x=2.61 miles

H= $2.61\times tan59$ =4.34 miles

How is velocity ratio of wheel and axle calculatedaad

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

VR = $\frac{Radius of wheel}{Radius of axle}$

Explanation:

A machine is a device that can be used to overcome a load by the application of an effort through a pivot. Examples are: pulleys, wedge, screw jack, wheel and axle etc.

The wheel and axle is a simple device that can be used to lift a load through a height. Its velocity ratio (VR) can be determined by:

VR = $\frac{Radius of wheel}{Radius of axle}$

Note that for a practical wheel and axle, the radius of the wheel is greater than the radius of the axle.

base your answer to this question on the information below and on your knowledge of physics. A toy launcher that is used to laun

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: v = 2.24 m/s

Explanation: The Law of Conservation of Energy states that total energy is constant in any process and, it cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed.

So, in the toy launcher, the energy of the compressed spring, called Elastic Potential Energy (PE), transforms into the movement of the plastic sphere, called Kinetic Energy (KE). Since total energy must be constant:

$KE_{i}+PE_{i}=KE_{f}+PE_{f}$
