Stars are called blackbody radiators because they

The answer is D) absorb most of the light that falls on them

A blackbody is an object that absorbs most (theoretically all) of the light that falls on it. Stars are called black bodies because they demonstrate something close to this property. Why do they appear white and not black? As black body radiators heat up, they slowly turn from black to grey to white, according to the human eye. Since stars are incredibly hot, they appear white to us.

If an object in motion, experiences a net zero unbalanced force, the the body
RSB [31]

Answer:

4) moves with constant velocity

Explanation:

If an object is in motion, three things can happen:

1. The object slows down in speed.

This means a net force is needed to be able to slow the object down in speed.

2. The object increases in speed.

This means a net force is needed to be able to increase the speed of the object.

3. The object remains in motion at the same speed.

No net zero unbalanced force is needed.

This is the given situation. So this is the right answer.

A plane flies 1800 miles in 9 ​hours, with a tailwind all the way. the return trip on the same​ route, now with a​ headwind, tak
Fittoniya [83]

Initially its moving with tail wind so here the speed of wind will support the motion of the plane

so we can say

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{9}

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = 200 mph

now when its moving with head wind we can say that wind is opposite to the motion of the plane

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{12}

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = 150mph

now by using above two equations we can find speed of palne as well as speed of wind

V_{plane} = 175 mph

v_{wind} = 25 mph

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy and how do they work?
Iteru [2.4K]

To explain, I will use the equations for kinetic and potential energy:

PE = mgh\\KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

<h3>Potential energy </h3>

Potential energy is the potential an object has to move due to gravity.  An object can only have potential energy if 1) <u>gravity is present</u> and 2) <u>it is above the ground at height h</u>.  If gravity = 0 or height = 0, there is no potential energy.  Example:

An object of 5 kg is sitting on a table 5 meters above the ground on earth (g = 9.8 m/s^2).  What is the object's gravitational potential energy?  <u>(answer: 5*5*9.8 = 245 J</u>)

(gravitational potential energy is potential energy)

<h3>Kinetic energy</h3>

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object has while in motion.  An object can only have kinetic energy if the object has a non-zero velocity (it is moving and not stationary).  An example:

An object of 5 kg is moving at 5 m/s.  What is the object's kinetic energy?  (<u>answer: 5*5 = 25 J</u>)

<h3>Kinetic and Potential Energy</h3>

Sometimes, an object can have both kinetic and potential energy.  If an object is moving (kinetic energy) and is above the ground (potential), it will have both.  To find the total (mechanical) energy, you can add the kinetic and potential energies together.  An example:

An object of 5 kg is moving on a 5 meter table at 10 m/s.  What is the objects mechanical (total) energy?  (<u>answer: KE = .5(5)(10^2) = 250 J; PE = (5)(9.8)(5) = 245 J; total: 245 + 250 = 495 J</u>)

A 3.0kg weight W is initially at rest on incline AB, which is raised 40° above the horizontal. The effective coefficient is
lakkis [162]

(a) The acceleration of the system is determined as 1.58 m/s².

(b) The relative weight of P is pounds is determined as 0.14 lb.

<h3>Acceleration of the system</h3>

The acceleration of the system is calculated as follows;

W - T = m₂a --- (1)

T = m₁a ----(2)

μmgsinθ - m₁a = m₂a

(0.3 x 3 x 9.8 x sin40) - (0.4 + 0.2)a = 3a

5.67 - 0.6a = 3a

5.67 = 3.6a

a = 5.67/3.6

a = 1.58 m/s²

<h3> Relative Weight of P</h3>

W = ma

W = 0.4 x 1.58

W = 0.632 N = 0.14 lb
