Suppose that sunlight is incident upon both a pair of reading glasses and a pair of sunglasses. Which pair would you expect to b

Ainat [17]

Answer: the pair of sunglasses

Explanation:

A good pair of sunglasses are composed of abosorbent lenses that filter the sunlight that affects the eyes retina, especially ultraviolet (UV). So, these sunglasses are used to reduce the amount of light or radiant energy transmitted.

On the other hand, normal reading glasses (in which the lens glass has not been treated to filter ultraviolet sunlight) will let UV rays pass through.

Therefore, if both glasses are exposed to sunlight, the sunglasses are expected to be warmer by absorbing that radiant energy and preventing it from reaching the eyes.

A 60-W light bulb radiates electromagnetic waves uniformly in all directions. At a distance of 1.0 mm from the bulb, the light i

slega [8]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is:

(a) $\frac{1}{4}(I_o)$

(b) $\frac{1}{4} (u_o)$

(c) $\frac{1}{2}B_o$

Explanation:

According to the question, the value is:

Power of bulb,

= 60 W

Distance,

= 1.0 mm

Now,

(a)

⇒ $\frac{I}{I_o} =\frac{r_o_2}{r_2}$

On applying cross-multiplication, we get

⇒ $I=I_o\times \frac{1_2}{2^2}$

⇒ $=I_o\times \frac{1}{4}$

⇒ $=\frac{1}{4} (I_o)$

(b)

As we know,

⇒ $\frac{u}{u_o} =\frac{I}{I_o}$

By putting the values, we get

⇒ $u=\frac{1}{4}(u_o)$

(c)

⇒ $\frac{B^2}{B_o^2} =\frac{u}{u_o}$

$=\frac{I}{I_o}$

⇒ $B=B_o\times \sqrt{\frac{1}{4} }$

⇒ $=\frac{1}{2}(B_o)$

Two fishing boats depart a harbor at the same time, one traveling east, the other south. the eastbound boat travels at a speed 1

Novosadov [1.4K]

they are travelling at right angles to each other.
At any given instant they form a right triangle with their starting point
South bound = x [mi/h]
 East bound = x+1 [mi/h]
after five hours they will be
d=5x
and
d=5(x+1)
miles away from the starting point
(5x)^2+(5(x+1))^2=625
25x^2+(5x+5)^2=625
25x^2+25x^2+50x+25=625
50x^2+50x-600=0
 x^2+ x - 12=0
(x+4)(x-3)=0
take the postive value
x= 3 mph the speed of south bound
4mph east bound

A block of mass 0.245 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 4 975 N/m and pushed downward so that th

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

10.99 m

Explanation:

m = mass of the block = 0.245 kg

k = spring constant of the vertical spring = 4975 N/m

x = compression of the spring = 0.103 m

h = height to which the block rise

Using conservation of energy

Potential energy gained by the block = Spring potential energy

mgh = (0.5) k x²

(0.245) (9.8) h = (0.5) (4975) (0.103)²

h = 10.99 m

Scientific knowledge is both long lasting and open to change. In your own words, explain why scientific knowledge should be re-e

Nostrana [21]

Science is open to change because scientists agree that there are no absolute truths, only the best explanations for the data
there are specifically two cases when science can change: -new data is discovered (for example new skeleton makes us revise the known history of homo species)
-a new model is proposed that fits the data better (such as the heliocentric model of Copernicus)
