11. Why do dark surfaces absorb radiation better than light surfaces?

1 answer:

7 0

When an electromagnetic wave hits a surface the photons transmit part of the energy to the molecules of the surface. When parts of the electromagnetic waves are reflected depending on the wavelength that is reflected our eyes perceive the object as having a lighter or darker color. The more wavelengths are reflected the lighter the color of the object will be. The more wavelengths are absorbed the darker the object will appear to be. Therefore, those materials that absorb more wavelengths will be dark and those that absorb fewer wavelengths will appear lighter.

What can cause a production possibilities curve to move to the right?

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Option D

a new invention lowers the cost of production

Explanation:

When there is a new invention lowers the cost of production, the production is likely to increase since the time allocated is as previous. Therefore, the curve moves to the right, to indicate a positive direction

Even when the head is held erect, as in the figure below, its center of mass is not directly over the principal point of support

alexandr1967 [171]

We are asked to determine the force required by the neck muscle in order to keep the head in equilibrium. To do that we will add the torques produced by the muscle force and the weight of the head. We will use torque in the clockwise direction to be negative, therefore, we have:

$\Sigma T=r_{M\perp}(F_M)-r_{W\perp}(W)$

Since we want to determine the forces when the system is at equilibrium this means that the total sum of torque is zero:

$r_{M\perp}(F_M)-r_{W\perp}(W)=0$

Now, we solve for the force of the muscle. First, we add the torque of the weight to both sides:

$r_{M\perp}(F_M)=r_{W\perp}(W)$

Now, we divide by the distance of the muscle:

$(F_M)=\frac{r_{W\perp}(W)}{r_{M\perp}}$

Now, we substitute the values:

$F_M=\frac{(2.4cm)(50N)}{5.1cm}$

Now, we solve the operations:

$F_M=23.53N$

Therefore, the force exerted by the muscles is 23.53 Newtons.

Part B. To determine the force on the pivot we will add the forces we add the vertical forces:

$\Sigma F_v=F_j-F_M-W$

Since there is no vertical movement the sum of vertical forces is zero:

$F_j-F_M-W=0$

Now, we add the force of the muscle and the weight to both sides to solve for the force on the pivot:

$F_j=F_M+W$

Now, we plug in the values:

$F_j=23.53N+50N$

Solving the operations:

$F_j=73.53N$

Therefore, the force is 73.53 Newtons.

Answer:

Answer:

D) by using military force.

Explanation:

Typically, people like Mussolini and Stalin gain popularity in trying times by promising a type of well-being to a group or nation of stricken people, in which they gain huge amounts of popularity at once. Typically they are then elected to some seat of power, in which, with popularity and most likely the military on their side, they would overthrow the current government. The next step taken is to suppress any opposition or even those who don't fully support the party. This can be given out in two ways, which is through force (especially opposition), or providing benefits to those who are in the party (to draw those who are not exactly supporting to support for the benefits).

With "popular" support, as well as military control, the overthrow is complete, and the group is established in power.
