Answer:

The moon doesn’t have light of its own, the moon lights up because of the sun. So at night, as the light of the sun doesn't reach the grass directly because of the moon, it doesnt reflect any color off the grass, and so our eyes detect grass as black.

Explanation:

Sun appears white, but it is made up of the colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. When white light hits an object, it absorbs some colors and reflect the others. Grass appears green because it absorbs all the wavelengths except green. Green is reflected off the grass, so we see grass as green.

Since the moon has less mass then the earth what happens to objects on the moon

marshall27 [118]

A) They move slower

Gravity force is determined by mass and the size of the moon. Since the mass of the moon is significantly lower than the mass of Earth, it will pull objects slower. The only object that would fall faster on the moon than on earth is a sheet of paper since there is much, much less air resistance to affect its terminal velocity the way it does on the earth.

The chart shows the speed at which light travels through different media.

sammy [17]

Answer:

Air.

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, let us consider the relationship between velocity and the wavelength of a wave. This is illustrated below:

Velocity, wavelength and frequency are related by the following equation:

Velocity = wavelength × frequency

v = λf

From the equation above, we can see clearly that the velocity is directly proportional to the wavelength.

This means that an increase in the wavelength will lead to an increase in the velocity and also, a decrease in the wavelength will lead to a decrease in the velocity.

Now, considering the table given in the question above, we can see that the wave has a higher speed in air. This simply means that the wave will also have a higher wavelength in air.

Thus, the correct answer to the question is: air

Can angular displacement b both scalar and vector??

patriot [66]

<span>Finite angular displacements are not vector quantities, the reason being that they do not obey the law of vector addition. This law asserts that the order in which vectors are added does not affect their sum. However finite angles under addition tend towards commutivity as the angles become very small. Infinitesimal angles do commute under addition, making it possible to treat them as vectors.</span>

miniature spring-loaded, radio-controlled gun is mounted on an air puck. The gun's bullet has a mass of 5.00 g, and the gun and

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

12 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying the law of conservation of momentum,

total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

mu+Mu' = mv+Mv'........................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the bullet, u = initial velocity of the bullet, M = combined mass of the gun and the puck, u' = initial velocity of the gun and the puck, v = final velocity of the bullet, v' = final velocity of the gun and the puck

make v the subeject of the equation

v = [(mu+Mu')-Mv']/m................. Equation 2

Given: m = 5.00 g = 0.005 kg, M = 120 g = 0.12 kg, u = u' = 0 m/s (at rest), v' = 0.5 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

v = [0-(0.12×0.5)]/0.005

v = -0.06/0.005

v = -12 m/s

The negative sign can be ignored since we are looking for the speed, which has only magnitude.

Hence the speed of the bullet is 12 m/s
