Answer:

When the acceleration of the elevator is going upward, the rider experiences a sensation of being heavier than his normal weight due to the upward normal force being more than the rider's weight.

A hydrogen discharge lamp emits light with two prominent wavelengths: 656 nm (red) and 486 nm (blue). The light enters a flint-g

mezya [45]

Answer:

The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of red = 656 nm

Wavelength of blue = 486 nm

Angle = 37°

Suppose we need to find the angle between the red and blue light as it leaves the prism

$n_{r}=1.572$

$n_{b}=1.587$

We need to calculate the angle for red wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{r}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.572\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{r}$

$\theta_{r}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.572\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{r}=71.0^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle for blue wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{b}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{b}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.587\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{b}$

$\theta_{b}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.587\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{b}=72.7^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle between the red and blue light

Using formula of angle

$\Delta \theta=\theta_{b}-\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta \theta=72.7-71.0$

$\Delta \theta=1.7^{\circ}$

Hence, The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

How are density and pressure related related to each other?

lawyer [7]

Answer:

The pressure is the measure of force acting on a unit area. Density is the measure of how closely any given entity is packed, or it is the ratio of the mass of the entity to its volume. The relation between pressure and density is direct. Change in pressure will be reflected in a change in density

Two resistors, R1 and R2, are

dlinn [17]

The reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of the component resistances:

1/(120.7 Ω) = 1/R₁ + 1/(221.0 Ω)

1/R₁ = 1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)

R₁ = 1 / (1/(120.7 Ω) - 1/(221.0 Ω)) ≈ 265.9 Ω

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

D. Burning paper

Explanation:

physical change is just changing the way it looks

chemical change is changing the properties of the object or thing

melting ice is just changing the way it looks it still has the same atoms and elements.

when you burn something it will change the properties of the atoms in the object
