Answer:

Because each color is refracted differently, each bends at a different angle, resulting in a fanning out and separation of white light into the colors of the spectrum.

The spectrum is produced because different colours of light travel at different speeds in glass.


The spectrum is produced because different colours of light travel at different speeds in glass. Red light is slowed down least by glass and is refracted least. Violet light is slowed down most by glass and is refracted most. As a result, the coloured light spreads out to form a spectrum of white light.

Levart [38]

Answer:

Coefficient of static friction will be equal to 0.642  

Explanation:

We have given acceleration a=6.3m/sec^2

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

We have to find the coefficient of static friction between truck and a cabinet will

We know that acceleration is equal to a=\mu g, here \mu is coefficient of static friction and g is acceleration due to gravity

So \mu =\frac{a}{g}=\frac{6.3}{9.8}=0.642

So coefficient of static friction will be equal to 0.642

When you are on a huge water slide what forces are there? when will you experience a net force?
Pani-rosa [81]
When you are on a huge water slide, the force present as you slide is the gravitational force. It is because the gravity enables you to slide down the water slide. The net force is the overall forces of the object, so as you slide the water slide, you may experience the net force once you slide down with the gravity and water sliding you down.
