When light hits an object, that object absorbs some light, and reflects other light.  A blue recycle bin absorbs red and green light, but reflects blue light.  The blue light then hits your retina at the back of your eye and a signal is sent to the visual cortex of your brain.  Your brain then perceives this signal as <em>colour.</em>

Can a body be in equilibrium if only one external force act on its ? explain
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

If there is only 1 force, the body can never be in equilibrium, providing that the force is not zero (and that would hardly be a force. Zero is possible in math and it means something. It is debatable in physics).

You cannot think of a condition where something is stationary on planet earth and there are not 2 forces or more forces involved.

Think of something like a block of wood sitting on a table. It is not moving, we'll say. Gravity is holding it down, but what is pushing up on it?

The table is. There are 2 forces and they are equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction. That matters.

how much force (in N) is exerted on one side of an 16.2 cm by 22.9 cm sheet of paper by the atmosphere
luda_lava [24]
<span>The 16.2cm by 22.9cm paper has an area = 370.98 square cm = 0.037098 square meters. And the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101,325 Newtons per square meter. So if multiply the quantities: 101,325 N/m^2 and 0.037098 m^2 we get an answer of 3758.95 N. * If we respect the fact that 22.9cm and 16.2 cm only have three significant digits then our answer would be 3760N.</span>

Part of the solar radiation entering the atmosphere about ___ actually reaches the earth's surface
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

48%

Explanation:

The earth's temperature has to be stable and this is the reason for the presence of incoming and outgoing heat. Of the solar energy reaching the atmosphere, about 29% is bounced back as reflected radiation by clouds, snow and particles in the atmosphere, about 23% is absorbed by the atmosphere and about 48% actually gets to the earth surface.

A proton and an electron are moving in the +x direction in a magnetic field in the +z
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force on a moving charge is given by the following relation

F = q ( v x B )

for proton

q = e  ,   v = vi  , B = Bk

F = e ( vi x Bk )

= Bev - j

= - Bevj

The direction of force is along negative of y axis or -y - axis.

for electron

q = - e  ,   v = vi  , B = Bk

F = - e ( vi x Bk )

= - Bev - j

=  Bevj

The direction of force is along positive  of y axis or + y - axis.
