The study of EM is essential to understanding the properties of light, its propagation through tissue, scattering and absorption effects, and changes in the state of polarization. ... Since light travels much faster than sound, detection of the reflected EM radiation is performed with interferometry.
Answer:
See answers below
Explanation:
a.
F = mg,
15.5 N = m(9.8 m/s²)
m = 1.58 kg
b.
Fnet = Applied force - resistance,
Fnet = 18 N - 4.30 N,
Fnet = 13.70 N
Fnet = ma
13.70 N = (1.58 kg)a
a = 8.67 m/s²
For the free body diagram, draw a box with an upward arrow labeled 15.5 N, a downward label labeled 15.5 N, a right label labeled 18 N, and a left label labeled 4.30 N.
While falling, both the sheet of paper and the paper ball experience air resistance. But the surface area of the sheet is much more than that of the spherical ball. And air resistance varies directly with surface area. Hence the sheet experiences more air resistance than the ball and it falls more slowly than the paper ball.
Hope that helps!
