What color would a yellow cloth appear to have if illuminated with sunlight?

1 answer:

4 0

The colour we see is a measure of the wavelengths of light nor absorbed by the cloth. We would call the colour of the cloth blue if it absorbed longer wavelengths of yellow/orange/red. Sunlight contains all the visible wavelengths. Whatever is not absorbed is reflected.

Jobisdone [24]

-- As she lands on the air mattress, her momentum is (m v)

Momentum = (60 kg) (5 m/s down) = 300 kg-m/s down

-- As she leaves it after the bounce,

Momentum = (60 kg) (1 m/s up) = 60 kg-m/s up

-- The impulse (change in momentum) is

Change = (60 kg-m/s up) - (300 kg-m/s down)

Magnitude of the change = 360 km-m/s

The direction of the change is up /\ .

A large refrigerator (mass 80kg) sits at rest inside a house. The homeowner wants to move the refrigerator across the room, so s

Answer:

400 N

Explanation:

By the law of friction,

$F=\mu R$

$F$ is the maximum frictional force, $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction and $R$ is the reaction on the refrigerator. On a horizontal surface, the reaction is equal to the weight of the refrigerator.

$R=mg$

$F=\mu mg$

While not moving, the fricition on the refrigerator is static friction. So, $\mu=0.65$

$F=0.65 \times80\times9.8=509.6 \text{ N}$

This is the maximum frictional force and is more than the applied horizontal force of 400 N. Frictional force cannot be more than the applied force, else it would actually pull the refrigerator backwards (a strange thing, if it were to happen). It is equal to the extent of the applied force because the applied force is not enough to overcome the maximum.

Hence the frictional force is 400 N.

PS: Note that we do not use the coefficient of kinetic friction because applied force could not overcome the static friction.
