We see something as white, black, or another specific color because the object is reflecting light waves back.

In a nutshell; If we view an object as red, then the object is:

-> reflecting back red light waves

-> absorbing blue, green, etc light waves.

What about white and black?

We see white when most all of the light is reflected.

When there is little to no light reflected, we see black.

The change in momentum of an object is equal to the Question 4 options: Force acting on it times its velocity. impulse acting on

lesya [120]

Answer:

impulse acting on it

Explanation:

The impulse is defined as the product between the force applied to an object (F) and the time interval during which the force is applied ( $\Delta t$ ):

$I=F\Delta t$

We can prove that this is equal to the change in momentum of the object. In fact, change in momentum is given by:

$\Delta p = m \Delta v$

where m is the mass and $\Delta v$ is the change in velocity. Multiplying and dividing by $\Delta t$ , we get

$\Delta p = m \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \Delta t$

and since $\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$ is equal to the acceleration, a, we have

$\Delta p = ma \Delta t$

And since the product (ma) is equal to the force, we have

$\Delta p = F \Delta t$

which corresponds to the impulse.
