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 car moves along an x axis through a distance of 900 m, starting at rest (at x = 0) and ending at
OlgaM077 [116]
A car moves along an x axis through a distance of 900 m, starting at rest (at x = 0) and ending at rest (at x = 900 m). Through the first 1/4 of that distance, its acceleration is +6.25 m/s2. Through the next 3/4 of that distance, its acceleration is -2.08 m/s2. What are (a) its travel time through the 900 m and (b) its maximum speed? 

<span>Solve for the time at the 1/4 mark. That's 225 m. How? d = (1/2)at^2 ( initial velocity zero). Thus 225 = (1/2) 6.25 t^2. t^2 = ( 225 * 2 ) / 6.25. t = 8.5 sec. </span>

<span>At the other end t^2 = (675 * 2) / 2.08 -- we reversed the sign and ran time backwards. t = 25.5 sec. </span>

<span>So total time is 8.5 + 25.5 or 34 sec. </span>

<span>Since zero initial velocity: v^2 = 2 a d. Here, v^2 = 2 * 6.25 * 225. v = 53 m/s. That's the fastest speed since braking then occurs.</span>

Our best evidence and theoretical calculations indicate that the solar system began with a giant spinning system of gas and dust
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Solar nebula.

Explanation:

A planet can be defined as a large celestial body having sufficient mass to allow for self-gravity and make it assume a nearly circular shape (hydrostatic equilibrium), revolves in an orbit around the Sun in the solar system and has a cleared neighborhood.

Basically, the planets are divided into two (2) main categories and these includes;

1. Outer planets: these planets are beyond the asteroid belt and comprises of jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune, from left to right of the solar system.

2. Inner planets: these planets are the closest to the sun and comprises of mercury, venus, earth and mars.

These outer planets are made mostly of gases (hydrogen and helium) causing them to be less dense than the solid inner planets. These gases are generally known to be less dense in terms of physical properties.

Some examples of the planet found in the solar system are Mars, Venus, Earth, Mercury, Neptune, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, etc.

Scientists have been able to understand and discover that, gravity pulled materials (low-density cloud of interstellar gas and dust known as a nebula) together forming the planetary bodies in our solar system.

A dark nebula can be defined as an interstellar cloud that is so dense as a result of high concentration of gas and dust and as such it obscures the visible wavelengths of light from stars behind it, thus appearing completely opaque (dark patch) in front of a bright emission nebula or in regions having plenty stars.

The characteristics of a nebulae are;

I. It contain hydrogen.

II. Clouds of gas and dust

III. It is needed to create a star.

A convex security mirror has a radius of curvature of 12.0 cm. What is the magnification of a pare 3.0 m from the mirror?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

magnification will be -0.025

Explanation:

We have given the radius of curvature = 12 cm

And object distance = 3 m

So focal length f=\frac{R}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6cm

Now for mirror we know that \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}

So \frac{1}{0.06}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{v}

16.66-0.333=\frac{1}{v}

v = 0.750 m

Now magnification of the mirror is m=\frac{-v}{u}=\frac{-0.750}{3}=-0.025

Can someone explain with steps please​
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The speed of other projectile is 3.1m/s

Explanation:

Range of projectile is given by the equation

\mathrm{R}=\frac{\mathrm{u}^{2} \cdot \sin 2 \theta}{\mathrm{g}}

Here we have same range

Hence

\frac{\mathrm{2.5}^{2} \cdot \sin (2 \times 65)}{\mathrm{g}}=\frac{\mathrm{u}^{2} \cdot \sin (2 \times 15)}{\mathrm{g}}\\\\u^2=\frac{2.5^2\sin130}{\sin30} \\\\u=3.10m/s
