The cutoff between visible and infrared light is usually said to be somewhere between 700 and 800nm. Why is silicon transparent

to most infrared light but opaque to visible light?

Answer:

The  infrared  photon  does  not  have  greater  energy as  compare  to   visible  rays  so  infrared  rays  pass  through  but  due  to  greater  energy  than  the  gap  visible  rays  could  not  hence  silicon  is  transparent      to infrared  rays  but  silicon  is   opaque  to   visible  rays .

An 92-kg football player traveling 5.0m/s in stopped in 10s by a tackler. What is the original kinetic energy of the player? Exp
Artemon [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the football player, m = 92 kg

Velocity of player, v = 5 m/s

Time taken, t = 10 s

(1) We need to find the original kinetic energy of the player. It is given by :

k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

k=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (92\ kg)\times (5\ m/s)^2

k = 1150  J

In two significant figure, k=1.2\times 10^3\ J

(2) We know that work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. Work done per unit time is called power of the player. We need to find the average power required to stop him. So, his final velocity v = 0

i.e. P=\dfrac{W}{t}=\dfrac{\Delta K}{t}

P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times (92\ kg)\times (5\ m/s)^2}{10\ s}

P = 115 watts

In two significant figures, P=1.2\times 10^2\ Watts

Hence, this is the required solution.

You know your mass is 62 kg but when you stand on a bathroom scale in an elevator it says your mass is 77 kg what is the acceler
lbvjy [14]
In a stationary situation, the weight of person is
W=mg=(62 kg)(9.81 m/s^2) = 608.2 N
This is the weight "felt" by the scale, which is basically the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which uses the value of g (9.81) as reference to convert the weight (602.8 N) into a mass (62 kg).

When the person is in the elevator, the scale says 77 kg. The scale is still using the same value of conversion (9.81), so the apparent weight "felt" by the scale is
W' = m'g=(77 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=755.4 N
This is the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which is directed upward. Besides this force, there is still the weight W of the person, acting downward. So, if we use Newton's second law:
\sum F = ma
W-W'=ma
where a is the acceleration of the elevator. If we solve for a, we find
a= \frac{W-W'}{m}= \frac{608.2N-755.4N}{62 kg}=-2.37 m/s^2
The negative sign means the acceleration is in the opposite direction of g (which we take positive), so it means the elevator is going upward.

How does the generator effect work?​
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The changing magnetic field within the loops of wire creates an electric field that pushes the electrons in the wire through the lamp, briefly lighting it

Explanation:

The GE demonstrates that a voltage, and hence a current, can be generated by plunging a coil of wire into and out of a strong magnet.
