Suppose that sunlight is incident upon both a pair of reading glasses and a pair of sunglasses. Which pair would you expect to b

Answer: the pair of sunglasses

Explanation:

A good pair of sunglasses are composed of abosorbent lenses that filter the sunlight that affects the eyes retina, especially ultraviolet (UV). So, these sunglasses are used to reduce the amount of light or radiant energy transmitted.

On the other hand, normal reading glasses (in which the lens glass has not been treated to filter ultraviolet sunlight) will let UV rays pass through.

Therefore, if both glasses are exposed to sunlight, the sunglasses are expected to be warmer by absorbing that radiant energy and preventing it from reaching the eyes.

If you cannot get a chair to move across the floor, it is because ___ friction opposes your push.
denis-greek [22]
If you cannot get a chair to move across the floor, it is because static friction opposes your push. When you say static or kinetic friction the two object that facing each other are opposing each other. That's why you're having a hard time pushing the chair.

At a meeting of physics teacher in Montana, the teachers were asked to calculate where a flour sack would land if dropped from a
Harlamova29_29 [7]

At a distance of 469.2 m from the original point below the airplane.

Explanation:

First of all, we have to calculate the time it takes for the sack to reach the ground.

To do so, we just analyze its vertical motion, which is a free-fall motion, so we can use the suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where, taking downward as positive direction:

s = 300 m is the vertical displacement

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

t is the time

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for t, we find the it takes for the sack to reach the ground:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(300)}{9.8}}=7.82 s

Now we analyze the horizontal motion. The horizontal velocity of the pack is constant (since there are no forces along the horizontal direction) and equal to the initial speed of the airplane, so:

v_x = 60 m/s

We also know the total time of flight,

t = 7.82 s

Therefore, we can find the horizontal distance travelled by the sack:

d=v_x t = (60)(7.82)=469.2 m

So, the sack will land 469.2 m from the original point below the airplane.

Interactive LearningWare 10.1 reviews the concepts involved in this problem. A spring stretches by 0.0161 m when a 3.74-kg objec
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

m = 3.91 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 3.74 kg

Stretching in the spring, x = 0.0161 m

The frequency of vibration, f = 3.84 Hz

When the object is suspended, the gravitational force is balanced by the spring force as :

mg=kx

k=\dfrac{mg}{x}

k=\dfrac{3.74\times 9.8}{0.0161}

k = 2276.52 N/m

The frequency of vibration is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

m=\dfrac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}

m=\dfrac{2276.52}{4\pi^2\times (3.84)^2}

m = 3.91 kg

So, the mass of the object is 3.91 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

If two bicycles of same masses move at different velocities,it will be easier to stop the bicycle that is moving at lower veloci
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

It is easier to stop the bicycle moving at a lower velocity because it will require a <em>smaller force</em> to stop it when compared to a bicycle with a higher velocity that needs a<em> bigger force.</em>

Explanation:

The question above is related to "Newton's Law of Motion." According to the <em>Third Law of Motion</em>, whenever an object exerts a force on another object <em>(action force)</em>, an equal force is exerted against it. This force is of the same magnitude but opposite direction.

When it comes to moving bicycles, the force that stops their movement is called "friction." Applying the law of motion, the higher the speed, the higher the force<em> </em>that is needed to stop it while the lower the speed, the lower the force<em> </em>that is needed to stop it.
