Why is a spectrum of colors produced when white light passes through a prism?

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.

Joey is riding in an elevator which is accelerating upwards at 2.0 m/s2. The elevator weighs 300.0 kg, and Joey weighs 60.0 kg.

4200 N is the tension in the cable that pulls the elevator upwards.

The correct option is A.

<h3>What does tension ?</h3>

Tension is the force that is sent through a rope, thread, or wire whenever two opposing forces pull on it. Along the whole length of the wire, the tensile stress pulls equally on all objects at the ends. Every physical object that comes into contact with that other one exerts force on it.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

We employ the following formula to determine the cable's tension.

Formula:

T = mg+ma............ Equation 1

Where:

T is the cable's tension.

M = Mass of the elevator and the Joey

Accelerating with a

g = Gravitational acceleration

Considering the query,

Given:

m = (300+60) = 360 kg

a = 2 m/s²

g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

T = (360×9.8)+(360×2)

T = 3528+720

T = 4248 N

T ≈ 4200 to the nearest hundred.

Based on the replacement reaction, what would the products of the reaction be?

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

$\rm Be(OH)_2$ and $\rm (NH_4)_2 SO_4$ . The missing ion would be $\rm OH^{-}$ .

Explanation:

In a double replacement reaction, two ionic compounds exchange their ions to produce two different ionic compounds.

In this question, the two ionic compounds are:

$\rm BeSO_4$ , and
$\rm NH_4 OH$ .

In particular,

$\rm BeSO_4$ is made up of $\rm Be^{2+}$ ions and $\rm {SO_4}^{2-}$ ions, while
$\rm NH_4 OH$ is made up of $\rm {NH_4}^{+}$ ions and $\rm OH^{-}$ ions.

In a binary ionic compound, cations (positive ions) can only bond to anions (negative ions.)

$\rm Be^{2+}$ is a cation. In $\rm BeSO_4$ , $\rm Be^{2+}$ was bounded $\rm {SO_4}^{2-}$ anions. During the reaction, it bonds with $\rm OH^{-}$ anions to produce $\rm Be(OH)_2$ .

$\rm {NH_4}^{+}$ is also a cation. In $\rm NH_4 OH$ , $\rm {NH_4}^{+}$ was bounded to $\rm OH^{-}$ ions. During the reaction, it bonds with $\rm {SO_4}^{2-}$ anions to produce $\rm (NH_4)_2 SO_4$ .

Hence, the two products will be $\rm Be(OH)_2$ and $\rm (NH_4)_2 SO_4$ .

Note that charges on the ions must balance. For example, a $\rm Be^{2+}$ ion carries twice as much charge as an $\rm {NH_4}^{+}$ ion. As a result, each $\rm Be^{2+}$ ion would bond with twice as many $\rm OH^{-}$ ions as $\rm {NH_4}^{+}$ would in $\rm NH_4 OH$ .

A jogger runs 300 meters due east and then turns and runs 500 meters due west.

valentina_108 [34]

It’ll be 200 meters West because 500-300=200 and The west direction has the greatest force you could say ... Anytime you have a question asking about displacement you subtract then use the direction with the greatest number ..
