Answer:

Newton passed sunlight through a glass prism to separate the colors into a rainbow spectrum. He then passed sunlight through a second glass prism and combined the two rainbows. The combination produced white light. His simple experiment proved conclusively that white light is a mixture of colors.

How is sunlight different from light produced by a light bulb or by a fluorescent light bulb

Leona [35]

Sunlight emits more energy than artificial light. Sunlight is better and healthier than most artificial lights and helps plants to grow more.

Two ice skaters, Paula and Ricardo, initially at rest, push off from each other. Ricardo weighs more than Paula.

sveta [45]

Answer:

the two ice skater have the same momentum but the are in different directions.

Paula will have a greater speed than Ricardo after the push-off.

Explanation:

Given that:

Two ice skaters, Paula and Ricardo, initially at rest, push off from each other. Ricardo weighs more than Paula.

A. Which skater, if either, has the greater momentum after the push-off? Explain.

The law of conservation of can be applied here in order to determine the skater that possess a greater momentum after the push -off

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of two or more objects acting upon one another will not change, provided there are no external forces acting on them.

So if two objects in motion collide, their total momentum before the collision will be the same as the total momentum after the collision.

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

SO, from the information given:

Let represent the mass of Paula with $m_{Pa}$ and its initial velocity with $u_{Pa}$

Let represent the mass of Ricardo with $m_{Ri}$ and its initial velocity with $u_{Ri}$

At rest ;

their velocities will be zero, i.e

$u_{Pa}$ = $u_{Ri}$ = 0

The initial momentum for this process can be represented as :

$m_{Pa}$ $u_{Pa}$ + $m_{Ri}$ $u_{Ri}$ = 0

after push off from each other then their final velocity will be $v_{Pa}$ and $v_{Ri}$

The we can say their final momentum is:

$m_{Pa}$ $v_{Pa}$ + $m_{Ri}$ $v_{Ri}$ = 0

Using the law of conservation of momentum as states earlier.

Initial momentum = final momentum = 0

$m_{Pa}$ $u_{Pa}$ + $m_{Ri}$ $u_{Ri}$ = $m_{Pa}$ $v_{Pa}$ + $m_{Ri}$ $v_{Ri}$

Since the initial velocities are stating at rest then ; u = 0

$m_{Pa}$ (0) + $m_{Pa}$ (0) = $m_{Pa}$ $v_{Pa}$ + $m_{Ri}$ $v_{Ri}$

$m_{Pa}$ $v_{Pa}$ + $m_{Ri}$ $v_{Ri}$ = 0

$m_{Pa}$ $v_{Pa}$ = - $m_{Ri}$ $v_{Ri}$

Hence, we can conclude that the two ice skater have the same momentum but the are in different directions.

B. Which skater, if either, has the greater speed after the push-off? Explain.

Given that Ricardo weighs more than Paula

So $m_{Ri} > m_{Pa}$ ;

Then $\mathsf{\dfrac{{m_{Ri}}}{m_{Pa} }= 1}$

The magnitude of their momentum which is a product of mass and velocity can now be expressed as:

$m_{Pa}$ $v_{Pa}$ = $m_{Ri}$ $v_{Ri}$

The ratio is

$\dfrac{v_{Pa}}{v_{Ri}} =\dfrac{m_{Ri}}{m_{Pa}} = 1$

$v_{Pa} >v_{Ri}$

Therefore, Paula will have a greater speed than Ricardo after the push-off.

The position-time equation for a certain train is

astraxan [27]

Answer:

$a=4.8m/s^2$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the acceleration in terms of position is defined as its second derivative:

$a=\frac{d^2x(t)}{dt^2}=\frac{d^2}{dt^2}(2.9+8.8t+2.4t^2)$

The purpose here is derive x(t) twice as follows:

$a=\frac{d^2x(t)}{dt^2}=\frac{d}{dt}(8.8+2*2.4*t)\\ \\a=4.8m/s^2$

Thus, the acceleration turns out 4.8 meters per squared seconds.

Best regards.
