Answer:

None of the light passes through it some of the light is absorbed as heat but most is reflected off the surface

Explanation:

The materials are of three types i.e. transparent, translucent and opaque materials. Opaque materials are the materials that do not allow the light rays to pass through it. Some of the examples of opaque materials are wood, metals, dark colored plastics, bricks etc.

Usually light some many phenomenons like scattering, absorption, reflection etc.

Hence, the correct statement about opaque material is " None of the light passes through it, some of the light is absorbed as heat but most is reflected off the surface".

PLEASE HELP ME 3. If an object accelerates at 40 m/s per second in four minutes, what will be the final velocity? (assume the ob
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

3. 9600m/s

4. 2.5m/s

Explanation:

To find the final velocity of the object which accelerates at 40m/s/s for four minutes, we first need to convert the 4 minutes to seconds. There are 60 seconds in a minute so 4 minutes is equal to 4x60 = 240 seconds.

To calculate the final velocity we just multiply the acceleration rate by the time, so 40x240=9,600 m/s

The final velocity of the object would be 9600m/s.

If an object's final velocity was 115m/s after 45 seconds then we need to find out how much it accelerated in that 45 seconds to find the starting velocity. 45x2.5=112.5 It increased in speed by 112.5m/s over 45 seconds, so its initial speed was 112.5m/s slower than its final speed. 115-112.5=2.5, the object's starting velocity was 2.5m/s.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

400m

Explanation:

<h3> x = v_{0}t + \frac{at^{2} }{2}  \\x = 20*10+\frac{4*10x^{2} }{2} = 400m</h3>

A wire with a resistance of 10 ohm is stretched so that its new length is four times its original length. find the resistance of
amm1812
Let original length be L. The new length is therefore 4L.

Let original cross sectional surface area of the wire be equal to πr^2.

This means original volume was L x πr^2 = Lπr^2

The volume is the same but the length is different so 4L x new surface area must be equal to Lπr^2. Let new surface area be equal to Y.

4L x Y = Lπr^2
=> Y = (πr^2 )/ 4


Using the resistivity formula,
R = pL/A. p which is resistivity is a constant so it stays the same

But this time, instead of L we have 4L and instead of πr^2 we have (πr^2)/4.

so the new resistance
= (4Lp)/ {(πr^2)/4}
= 16 (pL)/(πr^2)
= 16 (pL)/A. because πr^2 is A
since pL/A is equal to R from the formula, this is equal to
16 R.

R was 10 ohms
therefore new resistance is 16 x 10 = 160 ohms

How much kinetic energy does an 80 kg man have while running at 3 m/s?
Soloha48 [4]

Hello!

\large\boxed{KE = 360 J}

Use the equation KE = 1/2mv² to solve for the kinetic energy of the man.

We are given the mass and velocity, so plug these values into the equation:

KE = 1/2(80)(3²)

KE = 1/2(720)

KE = 360 J
