Diffuse reflection occurs when the size of surface irregularities is

Physics
1 answer:
erik [133]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Varies from point to point on the surface of the material.

Explanation:

Diffusion reflection is the reflection of light due to irregular reflection angles on the material surface. It might be as a result of microscopic irregularities on the material surface or just plain non reflecting ability of the material.

ASK YOUR TEACHER A baseball with a mass of 146 g is thrown horizontally with a speed of 40.6 m/s (91 mi/h) at a bat. The ball is
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of the ball = 146 g = 146 / 1000 = 0.146 kg

initial speed of the ball = 40.6 m/s

final speed of the ball = - 45.1 m/s

time of impact = 1.05 ms = 1.05 / 1000 = 0.00105 s

impulse, Ft = change in momentum = mv - mu = m (v-u)

F = m (v - u) / t = 0.146 kg ( -45.1 -40.6) / 0.00105 s = -11916.4 N

A 5.0-ohm resistor, a 10.0-ohm resistor, and a 15.0-ohm resistor are connected in parallel with a battery. The current through t
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

E = 3456 J

Explanation:

The electrical energy expended in a resistor can be easily calculated by using the following formula:

E = Pt

where,

E = Energy Expended = ?

I = current through 5 ohm resistor = 2.4 A

R = Resistance = 5 ohms

P = Electrical Power = VI

Since,

V = IR (Ohm's Law)

Therefore,

P = (IR)(I) = I²R = (2.4 A)²(5 ohms) = 28.8 Watt

t = time taken = (2 min)(60 s/1 min) = 120 s

Therefore,

E = (28.8 Watt)(120 s)

<u>E = 3456 J</u>

NASA is giving serious consideration to the concept of solar sailing. A solar sailcraft uses a large, low- mass sail and the ene
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

<em>d. The sail should be reflective because in this case the momentum transferred to the sail per unit area per unit time is larger than for absorbing sail, therefore the radiation pressure is larger for the reflective sail.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Let us take the momentum of a photon unit as u

we know that the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the force exerted.

For a absorbing surface, the photon is absorbed, therefore the final momentum is zero. From this we can say that

F = (u - 0)/t = u/t

for a unit time, the force is proportional to the momentum of the wave due to its energy density. Therefore,

F = u

For a reflecting surface, the momentum of the wave strikes the sail and changes direction. Since we know that the speed of light does not change, then the force is proportional to

F = (u - (-u))/t = 2u/t

just as the we did above, it becomes

F = 2u.

From this we can see that the force for a reflective sail is twice of that for an absorbing sail, and we know that the pressure is proportional to the force for a given area. From these, we conclude that <em>the sail should be reflective because in this case the momentum transferred to the sail per unit area per unit time is larger than for absorbing sail, therefore the radiation pressure is larger for the reflective sail.</em>
