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.

Serga [27]

Answer:

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s

Explanation:

$v_r$ = Speed of river

$v_c$ = Speed of canoe

$v_r+v_c=2.8\ m/s$

$v_r-v_c=-1.9\ m/s$

Adding the equations we get

$2v_r=0.9\\\Rightarrow v_r=\frac{0.9}{2}\\\Rightarrow v_r=0.45\ m/s$

$0.42+v_c=2.8\ m/s\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.8-0.45\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.65\ m/s$

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s

Suppose the initial kinetic energy and final potential energy in an experiment are both zero. What can you conclude?

Kisachek [45]

Initially, the experiment has only potential energy (since total energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy). And at the end, the experment has only kinetic energy.
