How is light reflected from a prism

2 answers:

White light entering a prism is bent, or refracted, and the light separates into its constituent wavelengths. Each wavelength of light has a different colour and bends at a different angle. The colours of white light always emerge through a prism in the same order—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

A battery is used to charge a parallel-plate capacitor, after which it is disconnected. Then the plates are pulled apart to twic

Igoryamba

Answer: C.

Explanation:

For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.

The capacitance is:

C = e*A/d

You can see that the distance is in the denominator, then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.

Now, the stored energy can be written as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2/C

Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)

e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.

Then we can define:

K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)

And now we can write the energy as:

E = K*d

Then the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates, this means that if we double the distance, we also double the energy.

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth. If the muscle generates a force of 49.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

1.1397 Nm

Explanation:

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth.

If the muscle generates a force

$F = 49.5 N$ and $r = 2.65 cm$ , then the torque is equal to $rF$

we see that r = 2.65 cm = 0.0265 m

therefore

torque = 0.0265 x 49.5

= 1.1397 Nm

NASA is designing a Mars-lander that will enter the Martian atmosphere at high speed. To land safely it must slow to a constant

Viktor [21]

Answer:

a) maximum mass of the Mars lander to ensure it can land safely is 200 kg

b) area of the parachute required is 480 m² which is larger than 400 m²

c) area of the parachute should be 12.68 m²

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

V = 20 m/s

A = 200 m²

drag co-efficient CD = 1.855

g = 3.71 m/s²

density of the atmospheric pressure β = 0.01 kg/m³

a. Calculate the maximum mass of the Mars lander to ensure it can land safely?

Drag force FD = 1/2 × CD × β × A × V²

we substitute

FD = 1/2 × 1.855 × 0.01 kg/m × 200 m² × ( 20 m/s )²

FD = 742 N

we know that;

FD = Fg

Fg = gravity force

Fg = mg

FD = mg

m = FD/g

we substitute

m = 742 N / 3.71 m/s²

m = 200 kg

Therefore, the maximum mass of the Mars lander to ensure it can land safely is 200 kg

b. The mission designers consider a larger lander with a mass of 480 kg. Show that the parachute required would be larger than 400 m²;

Given that;

M = 480 kg

Show that the parachute required would be larger than 400 m²

we know that;

FD = Fg = Mg = 480 kg × 3.71 m/s²

FD = 1780.8 N

Now, FD = 1/2 × CD × β × A × V², we solve for A

A = FD / 0.5 × CD × β × V²

we substitute

A = 1780.8 / 0.5 × 1.855 × 0.1 × (20)²

A = 1780.8 / 3.71

A = 480 m²

Therefore, area of the parachute required 480 m² which is larger than 400 m²

c. To test the lander before launching it to Mars, it is tested on Earth where g = 9.8 m/s^2 and the atmospheric density is 1.0 kg m-3. How big should the parachute be for the terminal speed to be 20 m/s, if the mass of the lander is 480 kg?

Given that;

g = 9.8 m/s²,

β" = 1 kg/m³

v" = 20 m/s

M" = 480 kg

we know that;

FD = Fg = M"g

FD = 480 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 4704 N

from the expression; FD = 1/2 × CD × β × A × V²

A = FD / 0.5 × CD × β" × V"²

we substitute

A = 4704 / 0.5 × 1.855 × 1 × (20)²

A = 4704 / 371

A = 12.68 m²

Therefore area of the parachute should be 12.68 m²

It distinguishes between the fermions, which are particles of matter, and the bosons, which carry forces. The matter particles include six quarks and six leptons. The six quarks are called the up, down, charm, strange, top and bottom quark. ... All of these matter particles fall into three “generations.”
