Please explain in simple terms why a purple flower appears purple when a white light shines on it?

Physics

AleksAgata [21]3 years ago

The white light is made up of all wavelength of electromagnetic spectrum, the spectrum has different colors, When light rays fall on an object, some of the color in the white light will be absorbed by the object while some will be reflected. The color that is reflected by the object is the one that an observe will see. Thus, a purple flower will appear purple because it is reflecting the wavelength that appear as purple

A bolt of lightning discharges 9.7 C in 8.9 x 10^-5 s. What is the average current during the discharge?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: 1.089\times 10^5\ A

Explanation:

Given

Charge discharged Q=9.7\C

time taken t=8.9\times 10^{-5}\ s

Current is given as rate of change of discharge i.e.

\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{Q}{t}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{9.7}{8.9\times 10^{-5}}\\\\\Rightarrow I=1.089\times 10^5\ A

Therefore, the average current is 1.089\times 10^5\ A

A uniform rod of length L, mass M, is suspended by two thin strings. Which of the following statements is true
Fantom [35]

Answer:

(d) not enough info

Explanation:

because it doesn't specify where the strings are attached

if it was the two ends of the rod then T1 would be equal to T2

What is the velocity of the object?
dmitriy555 [2]
<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2 /><h2>\huge\boxed{\text{V = 9.5 m/s}}</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2>

<h2>DATA:</h2>

mass = m = 2kg

Distance = x = 6m

Force = 30N

TO FIND:

Work = W = ?

Velocity = V = ?

<h2>SOLUTION:</h2>

According to the object of mass 2 kg travels a distance when the force was exerted on it. The graph between the Force and position was plotted which shows that 30 N of force was used to push the object till the distance of 6.0m.

To find the work, I will use the method of determining the area of the plotted graph. As the graph is plotted in the straight line between the Force and work, THE PICTURE ATTCHED SHOWS THE AREA COVERED IN BLUE AS WORK DONE AND HEIGHT AS 30m AND DISTANCE COVERED AS 6m To solve for the area(work) of triangle is given as,

{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\ =\ \frac{1}{2}\;(Base)\:(Height)

Base is the x-axis of the graph which is Position i.e. 6m

Height is the y-axis of the graph which is Force i.e. 30N

So,

                           W\ =\ \frac{1}{2}\:6\:x\:30

                           W   =  90 J

The work done is 90 J.

According to the principle of work and kinetic energy (also known as the work-energy theorem) states that the work done by the sum of all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle.

{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad =\quad K.E\\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad =\quad \frac{1}{2}\ m\ V^2 \\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad =\quad \frac{1}{2}\ 2\ (V_f-V_i)^2\\\\{V_i\ is\ 0\ because\ the\ object\ was\ initially\ at\ rest}\\\\ {\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad W\quad\ =\ \frac{1}{2}\ x\ 2\ (V_f-0)^2 \\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad 90\quad = \frac{1}{2}\ x\ 2\ (V_f)^2

\\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad V_f\quad =\ \sqrt{\frac{2\ (90)\ }{2}}\\\\{\Longrightarrow}\qquad \qquad \qquad \boxed {V_f\quad =\ 9.48\ m/s}

\boxed{The\ Velocity\ of\ the\ Object\ of\ mass\ 2kg\ at\ 6\ meters\ of\ distance\ was\ 9.48\ m/s}

Prof. Kopp is working on an experiment located in an abandoned mine near Duluth, MN. The experiment is located approximately 713
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The average speed of the elevator going down in the abandoned mine is 17.722mph.

Explanation:

If the elevator takes 90 seconds to descend a height of 713m, the average speed of the elevator is:

v_{av}=x_T/t_T=713m/90s=7.922m/s

And if 1m/s is 2.23694mph, the average speed is:

v_{av}=7.922m/s=17.722mph.
