Why is ‘black’ the absence of light? And because of this, why are we still able to see black print on a paper?

Physics

Answer:

Black is the result of absorbing all colors with different wavelengths. No light is reflecting off it that we can see. So we can see it in white because as far as our eyes, there is just enough contrast in the light against the white for the print to be visible.

How would you find kinetic energy?
Flura [38]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and to the square of its velocity: K.E. = 1/2 m v2. If the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.

How the sun gets access to the earth
Aleks04 [339]
The sun’s light and other forms of electromagnetic energy reach the earth by radiation. The mass of the sun acts on the earth (and other planets) by gravity which steers the earth in an almost circular orbit round the central sun.

A steel plate weighing 180 lb with center of gravity at point G is supported by a roller at point A, a bar DE, and a horizontal
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Therefore, the force supported  by the hydraulic cylinder is = -70.01 lb

Thus, the force supported by the bar = -233.84 lb

The reaction force supported by the reaction of the roller = 341.31 lb

Explanation:

The attached diagrams is shown in the file below:

From there; taking moments about point A

\sum M__A }=0

- 40 (180) - (80) F_E Cos 37° + 55  

-7200 + F_E (-80 Cos 37° + 55 sin 37° ) = 0

= - 7200 - 30.79  F_E

- 30.79  F_E = 7200

F_E = -\frac{7200}{30.79}

F_E  = -233.84 lb

Thus, the force supported by the bar = -233.84 lb

Taking the equilibrium of forces in the vertical direction

\sum f_y = 0

F_E sin 37 + F_A cos 20 - F_G = 0

- 233.84 sin 37 + F_A cos 20 - 180 = 0

F_A cos 20  = 320.73

F_A = \frac{320.73}{cos 20}

F_A = 341.31 lb

The reaction force supported by the reaction of the roller = 341.31 lb

Taking the equilibrium of forces on the horizontal direction.

\sum f_y = 0

F_E cos 37 - F_{CB} + F_A sin 20° = 0

-233.84 cos 37 - F_{CB} + 341.31 sin 20° = 0  

-186.75 -  F_{CB} + 116.74 = 0

-  F_{CB} -70.01 = 0

-  F_{CB} = 70.01

F_{CB} = - 70.01 lb

Therefore, the force supported  by the hydraulic cylinder is = -70.01 lb
