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.

:<span>  </span><span>30.50 km/h = 30.50^3 m / 3600s = 8.47 m/s 

At the top of the circle the centripetal force (mv²/R) comes from the car's weight (mg) 

So, the net downward force from the car (Fn) = (weight - centripetal force) .. and by reaction this is the upward force provided by the road .. 

Fn = mg - mv²/R 
Fn = m(g - v²/R) .. .. 1800kg (9.80 - 8.47²/20.20) .. .. .. ►Fn = 11 247 N (upwards) 
(b) 
When the car's speed is such that all the weight is needed for the centripetal force .. then the net downward force (Fn), and the reaction from the road, becomes zero. 

ie .. mg = mv²/R .. .. v² = Rg .. .. 20.20m x 9.80 = 198.0(m/s)² 

►v = √198 = 14.0 m/s</span>

What is the kinetic energy of a 100 kg object that is moving with a speed of 12.5m/s
Doss [256]

The kinetic energy of any moving object is

                           (1/2) (mass) (speed²) .

For the object you described, that's

                            (1/2) (100 kg) (12.5 m/s)²

                         =      (50 kg)  (156.25 m²/s²)

                         =              7,812.5 joules

Driving your Ferrari through the Italian countryside at a speedy 88 m/s, you approach an opera diva singing a high C (1,046 Hz).
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

You will hear the note E₆

Explanation:

We know that:

Your speed = 88m/s

Original frequency = 1,046 Hz

Sound speed = 340 m/s

The Doppler effect says that:

f' = \frac{v \pm v0 }{v \mp vs}*f

Where:

f = original frequency

f' = new frequency

v = velocity of the sound wave

v0 = your velocity

vs = velocity of the source, in this case, the source is the diva, we assume that she does not move, so vs = 0.

Replacing the values that we know in the equation we have:

f' = \frac{340 m/s + 88m/s}{340 m/s} *1,046 Hz = 1,316.73 Hz

This frequency is close to the note E₆ (1,318.5 Hz)
