A material that transmits nearly all the light in a ray because it offers little resistance to the light is

A material that transmits nearly all the light that strikes it
is described as being "transparent", but that has nothing
to do with "resistance to the light", whatever that is.

Even the blackest, densest material, like wood, foil, or concrete,
has no "resistance" to light. It simply absorbs light that enters it,
so some or all of the light that went in one side never made it to
the other side.

Transparent material absorbs very little, so almost all of the
light that goes in one side comes out the other side.

An amusement park ride consists of a rotating circular platform 11.1 m in diameter from which 10 kg seats are suspended at the e

frozen [14]

To solve this problem we will use the relationship given between the centripetal Force and the Force caused by the weight, with respect to the horizontal and vertical components of the total tension given.

The tension in the vertical plane will be equivalent to the centripetal force therefore

$Tsin\theta= \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Here,

m = mass

v = Velocity

r = Radius

The tension in the horizontal plane will be subject to the action of the weight, therefore

$Tcos\theta = mg$

Matching both expressions with respect to the tension we will have to

$T = \frac{\frac{mv^2}{r}}{sin\theta}$

$T = \frac{mg}{cos\theta}$

Then we have that,

$\frac{\frac{mv^2}{r}}{sin\theta} = \frac{mg}{cos\theta}$

$\frac{mv^2}{r} = mg tan\theta$

Rearranging to find the velocity we have that

$v = \sqrt{grTan\theta}$

The value of the angle is 14.5°, the acceleration (g) is 9.8m/s^2 and the radius is

$r = \frac{\text{diameter of rotational circular platform}}{2} + \text{length of chains}$

$r = \frac{11.1}{2}+2.41$

$r = 7.96m$

Replacing we have that

$v = \sqrt{(9.8)(7.96)tan(14.5\°)}$

$v = 4.492m/s$

Therefore the speed of each seat is 4.492m/s

What is the magnitude of the kinetic frictional force

Effectus [21]

The magnitude of the kinetic friction force, ƒk, on an object is. Where μk is called the kinetic friction coefficient and |FN| is the magnitude of the normal force of the surface on the sliding object. The kinetic friction coefficient is entirely determined by the materials of the sliding surfaces. hope it helps

The low-frequency speaker of a stereo set has a surface area of and produces 1W of acoustical power. What is the intensity at th

AlekseyPX

Answer:

I = $\frac{1}{4\pi \ r^2}$

we see the intensity decreases with the inverse of the distance squared

Explanation:

Intensity is defined as power per unit area,

I = P / A

in this case we have that the sound is emitted in a spherical form therefore the area is

A = 4 pi r2

therefore the intensity is

I = $\frac{1}{4\pi \ r^2}$

as we see the intensity decreases with the inverse of the distance squared
