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

Physics
1 answer:
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.

With a bit of algebraic reasoning find your gravitational acceleration toward any planet of mass M a distance d from its center.
grandymaker [24]

The acceleration due to gravity is given as:

                             g = GM/r²

<h3>Derivation of gravitational acceleration:</h3>

According to Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma

where,

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

According to Newton's law of gravity,

F<em>g </em>= GMm/(r + h)²

F<em>g = </em>gravitational force

From Newton's second law of motion,

F<em>g </em>= ma

a = F<em>g</em>/m

We can refer to "a" as "g"

a = g = GMm/(m)(r + h)²

g = GM/(r + h)²

When the object is on or close to the surface, the value of g is constant and height has no considerable impact. Hence, it can be written as,

g = GM/r²

Which of the following is MOST useful to scientists in measuring the size of asteroids?
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:c-The gravitational effect when spacecraft flies close to the asteriod

Explanation:

Gravitational effect on the spacecraft gives an estimate that how big is the asteroid by experiencing its gravitational pull.

The amount of extra thrust required to maintain the trajectory of the spacecraft during its motion hints at the scientist about the size of the asteroid.

Gravitational pull is directly proportional to the mass of object so greater the mass, greater will be the pull.

When a condenser discharges electricity, the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the c
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

460.52 s

Explanation:

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the condenser, we have that

dV/dt ∝ V

dV/dt = kV

separating the variables, we have

dV/V = kdt

integrating both sides, we have

∫dV/V = ∫kdt

㏑(V/V₀) = kt

V/V₀ = e^{kt}

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is -0.01 of the voltage dV/dt = -0.01V

Since dV/dt = kV

-0.01V = kV

k = -0.01

So, V/V₀ = e^{-0.01t}

V = V₀e^{-0.01t}

Given that the voltage decreases by 90 %, we have that the remaining voltage (100 % - 90%)V₀ = 10%V₀ = 0.1V₀

So, V = 0.1V₀

Thus

V = V₀e^{-0.01t}

0.1V₀ = V₀e^{-0.01t}

0.1V₀/V₀ = e^{-0.01t}

0.1 = e^{-0.01t}

to find the time, t it takes the voltage to decrease by 90%, we taking natural logarithm of both sides, we have

㏑(0.01) = -0.01t

So, t = ㏑(0.01)/-0.01

t = -4.6052/-0.01

t = 460.52 s
