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.

Which will have a larger momentum when moving at the same speed: a 2,000-kg truck or a 1,000-kg sedan
Alina [70]

Answer:

2000 kg

Explanation:

Given that Which will have a larger momentum when moving at the same speed: a 2,000-kg truck or a 1,000-kg sedan

According to the definition of momentum, momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

That is,

Momentum = mass × velocity

Since velocity or speed is the same, then, the one of higher mass will have a greater momentum.

Therefore, the 2000 kg truck will have the greater momentum.

An auditorium measures 43.0m × 18.0m × 15.0m. The density of air is 1.20 kg/m3. What is the volume of the room in cubic feet? (D
frez [133]
The question here would be what is the volume of the room. The density of air that is given has no use. We simply multiply the dimensions given of the room to determine  the volume.

<span>43.0m × 18.0m × 15.0m = 11610m^3 ( 3.28 ft / 1 m)^3 = 4.09 x 10^5 ft^3</span>
