Tyrel is learning about a certain kind of metal used to make satellites. He learns that infrared light is absorbed by the metal,

X-ray light is transmitted through the metal, and visible light is reflected off the metal. Tyrel wonders of the metal will get warm if he shines the lights on it. Can light cause the metal to get warm?

Answer: yes.

Explanation: The light that will be incidented on that metal is visible light.

It depends on 3 factors:

1. The temperature

2. The specific heat capacity of the metal

3. The thermal conductivity of the metal.

The metal getting warmer also depend on the reflection and the absorption of light energy in which it will surely absorb some energy and not reflect all.

When visible light is absorbed by an object, the object converts the short wavelength light into long wavelength heat. This causes the object to get warmer.

You are riding a rollercoaster going around a vertical loop, on the inside of the loop. If the loop has a radius of 30 meters, h
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Speed of the cart at the top of the loop = 34.3 m/s

Explanation:

Gravitational acceleration = g = 9.81 m/s2

Your mass = m

You feel three times as heavy at the top of the loop.

Normal force on you = N = 3mg

Radius of the loop = R

Speed of the cart = V

Centripetal force required for the circular motion = Fc

F = m

The centripetal force is provided by the normal force on you which is directed downwards and your own weight which is directed downwards.

Fc = mg + N

Fc = mg + 3mg

Fc = 4mg

m12 -= 4mg R

V = 4gR

V = 4(9.81)(30)

V = 34.3 m/s

Speed of the cart at the top of the loop = 34.3 m/s

A crate is lifted vertically 1.5 m and then held at rest. The crate has weight 100 N (i.e., it is reese (enr647) – HS OnRamps 04
icang [17]

Answer:

W = 0 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the crate, W = 100 N

Distance moved by the crate, d = 1.5 m

Let W is the work done to hold the crate 1.5 m above the ground in this way. It is given by the product of force and the displacement. Its formula is given by :

W=F\times d\times cos\theta

Here, \theta=90^{\circ} as it is lifted vertically

W=100\ N\times 1.5\ m\ cos(90)      

W = 0

So, the work done to hold the crate is 0. Hence, this is the required solution.

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

1) Charge chord resistance is 75 Ω

2) Charge chord resistance is 6.33 Ω

Explanation:

1) To answer the question, we note that the the formula voltage is found as follows;

V = IR

Therefore,

R = \frac{V}{I} =  \frac{120}{1.6} = 75  \, \Omega

2) Where the voltage, V = 19.5 V and the current, I = 3.33 A, we have;

Initial resistance R₁ = 19.5 V/(3.33 A) = 5.86 Ω

However, to reduce the current to 1.6 A, we have;

R_T = \frac{19.5}{1.6} = 12.1875 \ \Omega

Therefore, where the resistance is found by the sum of the total resistance we have;

R_T = R₁ + Charge chord resistance

∴ 12.1875 = 5.86 + Charge chord resistance

Hence, charge chord resistance = 6.33 Ω

A tennis player standing 12.6m from the net hits the ball at 3.00 degrees above the horizontal. To clear the net, the ball must
mezya [45]
We actually don't need to know how far he/she is standing from the net, as we know that the ball reaches its maximum height (vertex) at the net. At the vertex, it's vertical velocity is 0, since it has stopped moving up and is about to come back down, and its displacement is 0.33m. So we use v² = u² + 2as (neat trick I discovered just then for typing the squared sign: hold down alt and type 0178 on ur numpad wtih numlock on!!!) ANYWAY....... We apply v² = u² + 2as in the y direction only. Ignore x direction. 
IN Y DIRECTION: v² = u² + 2as 0 = u² - 2gh u = √(2gh) (Sub in values at the very end) 
So that will be the velocity in the y direction only. But we're given the angle at which the ball is hit (3° to the horizontal). So to find the velocity (sum of the velocity in x and y direction on impact) we can use: sin 3° = opposite/hypotenuse = (velocity in y direction only) / (velocity) So rearranging, velocity = (velocity in y direction only) / sin 3° = √(2gh)/sin 3° = (√(2 x 9.8 x 0.33)) / sin 3° = 49 m/s at 3° to the horizontal (2 sig figs)
