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

Physics

AleksAgata [21]3 years ago
6 0
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

If F1 = 390 N and F2 = 550 N , determine the angle θ(0∘≤θ≤180∘) between them, so that the resultant force has a magnitude of FR
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

R² = F₁² + F₂² + 2F₁F₂ Cosθ , R is resultant force , θ is angle between them

780² = 390² + 550² + 2 x 390 x 550 Cosθ

608400 = 152100 + 302500 + 429000  Cosθ

Cosθ =  .3585

θ  = 69 degree.

Do action and reaction cancel each other out?
galben [10]

Answer:

Action and reaction forces don't cancel each other out because they act on separate objects. ... Action and reaction forces are always equal in magnitude, so it's not possible to exert more force on an object than it can exert back.

A 790N person runs up a flight of 40 stairs (.25m for each step) in 20 seconds, and then down 10 steps in 5 seconds. How much to
Romashka [77]

A person runs up 40 stairs and then come down 10 steps

So total stairs upwards is given as

N = 40 - 10 = 30

now here we will have total height reached

H = N\times h

H = 30 \times 0.25 = 7.5 m

Now total energy used or mechanical work done is

W = mgH

W = 790 \times 7.5 = 5925 J

Now the mechanical power is given as

P = \frac{W}{t}

P = \frac{5925}{20+ 5} = 237 W
