Answer: Depending on the matter that the light pass through can give you different results.

The matter might be transparent, translucent, or opaque depending on how it interacts with light.

Explanation:

Transmission of light occurs when light passes through matter. As the light being transmitted, it may reflected, absorbed, scattered or pass straight through the matter.

Reflection of light occurs when light bounces back from a surface that it cannot pass through example mirror.

While in absorption, when light is absorbed, the temperature of the matter increases, thus it is said more energy has been added to the matter. Absorption is mostly high in black matters. Example when you wore a black shirt and work under the sun, you found out that you havr to deal with heat more than when you wore white or different color.

You have a 1.55 kg block of silver at room temperature of 20 °C. Silver melts at 962°C. How much heat energy would be needed to

notsponge [240]

Specific heat capacity= heat energy/mass×temperature rise

962°C - 20°C = 942K

Heat energy (Eh) = 239 × 1.55 × 942
Eh= 348963.9J

shc of Ag: 238.6 J/kg-K

m of Ag: 1.55kg

The circumference of a bicycle wheel is 2 meters. if it rotates at 1 revolution per second then its linear speed is

tester [92]

Given:
Circumference = 2 m
Angular speed, ω = 1 rev/s = 2π radians/s

If the radius is r, then
2πr = 2
r = 1/π m

The linear (tangential) speed is
v = rω
= (1/π m)*(2π rad/s) = 0.5 m/s

Answer: 0.5 m/s

One side of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 5 cm/sec and a second side is increasing at a rate of 7 cm/sec. If the area of

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The rate of angle is 26.25 rad/sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

First side of triangle a= 20 cm

Second side of triangle b= 50 cm

One side of a triangle is increasing at a rate = 5 cm/sec

Second side is increasing at a rate = 7 cm/s
