Answer:

This question is incomplete, the options are:

A) The object absorbs most white light and refracts most green light.

B) The object refracts most white light and absorbs most green light.

C) More green light is absorbed while more red and blue light is reflected.

D) More green light is reflected while more red and blue light is absorbed.

The answer is D.

Explanation:

Light is an electromagnetic wave that contains different colours at different wavelength. The colour of light that is seen depends on the wavelength of light that is REFLECTED, while other wavelengths of light are ABSORBED. This feature is dependent on the properties of each object that received the sunlight.

For example, an object will appear GREEN because it has properties that enables it to REFLECT most of the GREEN LIGHT but absorbs most of the RED AND BLUE LIGHT in the sunlight passing through the object.

Two billiard balls of equal mass are traveling straight toward each other with the same speed. They meet head-on in an elastic c

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0 kg m/s before and after collision

Explanation:

Let m, v be the mass and speed of the 2 balls, respectively, before the collision. Since they have the same mass and same speed but in opposite direction, the total momentum of the system would be:

P = mv - mv = 0 kg m/s

As the collision is elastic. The total momentum after the collision is the same as the total momentum before the collision, which is 0.

A camera gives a proper exposure when set to a shutter speed of 1/250 s at f-number F8.0. The photographer wants to change the s

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

F4.0

Explanation:

To obtain a shutter speed of 1/1000 s to avoid any blur motion the f-number should be changed to F4.0 because the light intensity goes up by a factor of 2 when the f-number is decreased by the square root of 2.

The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is ________proportional to the current and _________proportional to the distan

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is directly proportional to the current and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire. If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by one and half (1.5) times.

Explanation:

Magnetic field around a long current carrying wire is given by

$B=\frac{\mu _o I}{2\pi r}$

where B= magnetic field

$\mu _o=$ permeability of free space

I= current in the long wire and

r= distance from the current carrying wire

Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is directly proportional to the current and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.

Now if I'=3I and r'=2r then magnetic field B' is given by

$B'=\frac{\mu _oI'}{2\pi r'}=\frac{\mu _o3I}{2\pi 2r}=1.5B$

Thus If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by one and half (1.5) times.

if m represents mass in kg, v represents speed in m/s, and r represents radius in m, show that the force F in the equation F=mv^

Zarrin [17]

This approach is called the dimensional analysis which involves only the units of measurement without their magnitudes. You simply have to do the operations by using variables. Cancel out like items that may appear both in the numerator and denominator side. The solution is as follows:

F = mv²/r = [kg][m/s]²/[m] = [kg][m²⁻¹][1/s²] = [kg·m/s²]
