The energy from the light is transferred to the material, causing it to vibrate and absorb the light.

What is energy?
In physics, energy is the quantitative quality that is transmitted to the a body or a physical system, and is discernible in the work performed as well as in the form of light and heat. The law of conservation states that although energy can change its form, it cannot be created or destroyed. Energy is indeed a conserved quantity. The International System of Units' (SI's) joule is the measurement unit for energy (J). A moving object's kinetic energy, a solid object's elastic energy, chemical energy caused by chemical reactions, and the potential energy that an object stores (for instance because of its position inside a field) are examples of common forms of energy.

When light falls upon a material that has a natural frequency equal to the frequency of the light, the light will be absorbed by the material. This is due to resonance, which occurs when the frequency of the light matches the natural frequency of the material. The energy from the light is transferred to the material, causing it to vibrate and absorb the light.

At what distance above the surface of the earth is the acceleration due to the earth's gravity 0.855 m/s2 if the acceleration du

natulia [17]

Given: Normal pull of gravity g = 9.8 m/s²;

g = 0.855 m/s² (at a certain distance)

Universal gravitational constant G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²

Mass of the Earth Me = 5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg

Radius r = ?

g = GMe/r²

r = √GMe/g

r = √(6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²)(5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg)/(0.855 m/s²)

r = 2.16 x 10⁷ m or

r = 21,610 Km

Calculate the work done (in J) by a 90.0 kg man who pushes a crate 4.25 m up along a ramp that makes an angle of 20.0° with the

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

W = 3.4x0³ J.

Explanation:

The work done by the man is given by the following equation:

$W = F_{t}\cdot d$ (1)

<em>where W: is the work, Ft is the total force and d: is the displacement = 4.25 m.</em>

We need to find first the total force Ft, which is:

$Ft = Fm + W$

<em>where Fm: is the force exerted by the man = 535 N, W: is the weight = m*g*sin(θ), m: is the mass of the man, g: is the gravitational acceleration = 9.81 m/s², and θ: is the angle = 20.0°. </em>

$F_{t} = Fm + W = 500 N + 90.0 kg*9.81 m/s^{2} * sin(20.0) = 802.0 N$

Hence, the work is:

$W = 802.0 N \cdot 4.25 m = 3.4 \cdot 10 ^{3} J$

Therefore, the work done by the man is 3.4x10³ J.

What is the index of refraction?

laiz [17]

Answer:

a. the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the material it is passing though

Explanation:

When a light ray enters from one medium to another, it bends. This is because the speed of light decreases as it enters a medium having more optical density. The speed of light is maximum in vacuum.

The refractive index determines the optical density of a medium. It is the ratio of the speed of light in the vacuum (c) to the speed of light in the material it is passing through (v).

$\mu=\frac{c}{v}$
