Answer:

Reflection is like bouncing a tennis ball, and absorption is like water soaking into a paper towel.

Reflection is like water soaking into a paper towel, and absorption is like bouncing a tennis ball.

Reflection is the way a straw appears in a glass of water, and absorption is the separation of colors from a prism.

A 0.20 kg mass on a horizontal spring is pulled back 2.0 cm and released. If, instead, a 0.40 kg mass were used in this same exp
KIM [24]

Answer:

The total mechanical energy does not change if the value of the mass is changed. That is, remain the same

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of a spring-mass system is equal to the elastic potential energy where the object is at the amplitude of the motion. That is:

E=U=\frac{1}{2}kA^2       (1)

k: spring constant

A: amplitude of the motion = 2.0cm

As you can notice in the equation (1), the total mechanical energy of the system does not depend of the mass of the object. It only depends of the amplitude A and the spring constant.

Hence, if you use a mass of 0.40kg the total mechanical energy is the same as the obtained with a mas 0.20kg

Remain the same

A 20 watt lightbulb uses 20 Joules of energy every second.A person expends 50 watts of energy per stair when climbing up stairs.
Pachacha [2.7K]
20W = 20 J/s

Energy expended during climbing stairs = 50 W of energy/stair = 50J/stair

For 20 stairs, Total energy = 50x20 = 1000 J

This can light bulbs for, T= 1000J/20 J/s =50 seconds

An experiment is designed to test what color of light will activate a photoelectric cell the best. The photocell is set in a cir
Natalija [7]

A photoelectric cell is an electronic device which is used to convert light energy into electric energy.The operation of this device is based on photoelectric effect.

Light of suitable frequency i.e greater or equal to threshold frequency will fall on the cathode maintained at negative potential.The electron emission will take place and these electrons are drifted towards the anode which is at positive potential.

Here,only those radiations will be capable of emitting electrons irrespective of surface barrier of metals whose energy is greater than the work function.

We know that the radiation having long wavelength has least energy as energy and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.

Mathematically\ energy\ E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Here h is the Planck's constant,c is the velocity of light.

Here we have been given red light and blue light.

In the visible spectrum of radiation, the red light has longer wavelength than all other colors of light.Hence blue light has more energy as it's wavelength is less as compared to red light.

Hence, the blue light will activate the most and red the least.
