Why does the light from the touch reach upto only certain distance

1 answer:

6 0

It is also likely (but not certain) that the photons will be absorbed by atoms. ... Light particles( or photons) never”run out” or loose their energy, so they can go an infinite distance, or until it reaches an object, that reflects the light or obsorbs it. Ie, a planet, or a mirror.

Maksim231197 [3]

Wee see rainbows due to the geometries of the raindrops. when the sun shines behind, rays of light enter the raindrops and this light are refracted. The lights are then reflected from the back of the raindrop and refracted again as it passes the rain drop. Refraction in this sense is the cause for splitting the light into several colors.

The vector position of an object is given by r what is the torque acting on the object about the origin when a force f = (−12.5i

attashe74 [19]

Let the vector position of the object in the (x-y) plane be
$\vec{r} = x \hat{i} + y \hat{j}$

The applied force is
$\vec{f} = -12.5 \hat{i}
$

By definition, the applied torque is
$\vec{T} = \vec{r} \times \vec{f} = (x\hat{i} + y\hat{j}) \times (-12.5y \hat{i}) = 12.5\hat{k}$

Answer: $12.5y \, \hat{k}$

Consider the points below. P(1, 0, 1), Q(−2, 1, 4), R(6, 2, 7) (a) Find a nonzero vector orthogonal to the plane through the poi

kozerog [31]

Answer:

a) (0, -33, 12)

b) area of the triangle : 17.55 units of area

Explanation:

We know that the cross product of linearly independent vectors $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$ gives us a nonzero, orthogonal to both, vector. So, if we can find two linearly independent vectors on the plane through the points P, Q, and R, we can use the cross product to obtain the answer to point a.

Luckily for us, we know that vectors $\vec{A} = \vec{P}-\vec{Q}$ and $\vec{B} = \vec{R} - \vec{Q}$ are living in the plane through the points P, Q, and R, and are linearly independent.

We know that they are linearly independent, cause to have one, and only one, plane through points P Q and R, this points must be linearly independent (as the dimension of a plane subspace is 3).

If they weren't linearly independent, we will obtain vector zero as the result of the cross product.

So, for our problem:

$\vec{A} = \vec{P} - \vec{Q} \\\\\vec{A} = (1,0,1) - (-2,1,4)\\\\\vec{A} = (1 +2,0-1,1-4)\\\\\vec{A} = (3,-1,-3)$

$\vec{B} = \vec{R} - \vec{Q} \\\\\vec{B} = (6,2,7) - (-2,1,4)\\\\\vec{B} = (6 +2,2-1,7-4)\\\\\vec{B} = (8,1,3)$

$\vec{A} \times \vec{B} = (A_y B_z - B_y A_z) \ \hat{i} - ( A_x B_z-B_xA_z) \ \hat{j} + (A_x B_y - B_x A_y ) \ \hat{k}$

$\vec{A} \times \vec{B} = ( (-1) * 3 - 1 * (-3) ) \ \hat{i} - ( 3 * 3 - 8 * (-3)) \ \hat{j} + (3 * 1 - 8 * (-1) ) \ \hat{k}$

$\vec{A} \times \vec{B} = ( - 3 + 3 ) \ \hat{i} - ( 9 + 24 ) \ \hat{j} + (3 + 8 ) \ \hat{k}$

$\vec{A} \times \vec{B} = 0 \ \hat{i} - 33 \ \hat{j} + 12 \ \hat{k}$

$\vec{A} \times \vec{B} =(0, -33, 12)$

We know that $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$ are two sides of the triangle, and we also know that we can use the magnitude of the cross product to find the area of the triangle:

$|\vec{A} \times \vec{B} | = 2 * area_{triangle}$

so:

$\sqrt{(-33)^2 + (12)^2} = 2 * area_{triangle}$

$\sqrt{1233} = 2 * area_{triangle}$

$35.114= 2 * area_{triangle}$

$17.55 \ units \ of \ area = area_{triangle}$
