Why do you see objects when you shine a flashlight in a dark room?​

Physics

anzhelika [568]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

We see objects in a dark room due to the emission of light photons which are sensitive to our eyes.

Darkness is simply a terminology used to describe the absence of light. Visible light to human is a component of the electromagnetic spectrum. Our eyes have receptors that picks the photons which light releases.

The particles of light are called photons.

  • When a torch is shines. It produces light due to emission of light by excitation of the metal in the bulb.
  • The light is in form of photons that spreads and travels in all direction in a room.
  • When they impinge on other bodies, they cause them to excite and release their own photons
  • Photons from the different parts helps to depict an object as it is.
  • The photo-receptors in our eyes picks up the photon and interprets it in our visual faculty.

A coil formed by wrapping 65 turns of wire in the shape of a square is positioned in a magnetic field so that the normal to the
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

377 m

Explanation:

number of turns, N = 65

θ = 36°

B1 = 200 micro Tesla

B2 = 600 micro tesla

t = 0.4 s

induced emf, e = 80 mV

Let a be the side of the square coil.

e=\frac{d\phi }{dt}=NA\frac{dB}{dt}\times Sinθ

0.080=\frac{65\times a^{2}\times Sin36\times\left ( 600 - 200 \right )\times 10^{-6}}{0.4}

0.080=0.038a^{2}

a = 1.45 m

Total length of the wire, L = N x 4a = 65 x 4 x 1.45 = 377 m

Thus, the length of the wire is 377 m.

A vertical spring has a spring constant of 2900 N/m. The spring is compressed 80 cm and a 8 kg spider is placed on the spring. T
Serga [27]

Answer:

a)  k_{e} = 928 J , b)U = -62.7 J , c) K = 0 , d) Y = 11.0367 m,  e)  v = 15.23 m / s  

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we will use the concepts of mechanical energy.

a) The elastic potential energy is

      k_{e} = ½ k x²

      k_{e} = ½ 2900 0.80²

      k_{e} = 928 J

b) place the origin at the point of the uncompressed spring, the spider's potential energy

     U = m h and

     U = 8 9.8 (-0.80)

     U = -62.7 J

c) Before releasing the spring the spider is still, so its true speed and therefore the kinetic energy also

      K = ½ m v²

      K = 0

d) write the energy at two points, maximum compression and maximum height

     Em₀ = ke = ½ m x²

     E_{mf} = mg y

     Emo = E_{mf}

     ½ k x² = m g y

     y = ½ k x² / m g

     y = ½ 2900 0.8² / (8 9.8)

     y = 11.8367 m

As zero was placed for the spring without stretching the height from that reference is

     Y = y- 0.80

     Y = 11.8367 -0.80

     Y = 11.0367 m

Bonus

Energy for maximum compression and uncompressed spring

     Emo = ½ k x² = 928 J

     E_{mf}= ½ m v²

     Emo = E_{mf}

     Emo = ½ m v²

      v =√ 2Emo / m

     v = √ (2 928/8)

     v = 15.23 m / s

A person observes a firework display for A safe distance of .750 km. Assuming that sound travels at 340 m/s in air what is the t
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

t = 2.2 s

Explanation:

Given that,

A person observes a firework display for A safe distance of 0.750 km.

d = 750 m

The speed of sound in air, v = 340 m/s

We need to find the between the person see and hear a firework explosion. let it is t. So, using the formula of speed.

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{750\ m}{340\ m/s}\\\\t=2.2\ s

So, the required time is 2.2 seconds.
