Tyrel is learning about a certain kind of metal used to make satellites. He learns that infrared light is absorbed by the metal,

X-ray light is transmitted through the metal, and visible light is reflected off the metal. Tyrel wonders of the metal will get warm if he shines the lights on it. Can light cause the metal to get warm?

Answer: yes.

Explanation: The light that will be incidented on that metal is visible light.

It depends on 3 factors:

1. The temperature

2. The specific heat capacity of the metal

3. The thermal conductivity of the metal.

The metal getting warmer also depend on the reflection and the absorption of light energy in which it will surely absorb some energy and not reflect all.

When visible light is absorbed by an object, the object converts the short wavelength light into long wavelength heat. This causes the object to get warmer.

A wire with a mass of 1.14 g/cm is placed on a horizontal surface with a coefficient of friction of 0.200. The wire carries a cu
anzhelika [568]

Answer: B=0.0162T

Explanation:

let this sign be ∅ (titha in degrees)

let coefficient of friction of 0.200 be u

and i be current i= 1.41A

mass m=1.14g/cm m=0.0114g/m

To find the magnetic field from the north will be:

tan ∅= u

∅=tan^{-1}(0.200

∅=11.3°

The direction:

i L*B cos(∅)=  umg

divide both by iLcos(∅) to find B

B= \frac{umg}{iBcos(∅)}  where m=\frac{m}{L}

B= \frac{u(m/L)g}{icos(∅)}

B= \frac{0.200*0.0114*9.81}{1.41*cos(11.3)}

B=0.0162T

The cable supporting a 2130-kg elevator has a maximum strength of 2.18×104 n . what maximum upward acceleration can it give the
Vlada [557]

Answer;

=0.43 m/s²

Solution;

There will be the tension in the cable, T, upwards and the weight of the elevator, mg, downwards.  

By Newton's second law, the sum of the forces will be equal to mass×acceleration.  

Resultant force = m × a

Then T - mg = ma so the tension in the cable is  

T = m(g+a)  

The cable will break when T = 21,800 N  

Solving for a, that happens when  

a = 21800/2130 - g

    = 10.23 - g (in m/s^2)  

If you're using g = 9.8 m/s^2

Then the maximum acceleration allowed is 10.23-9.8 = 0.43 m/s^2
