What happens to light that shines on an object but is not transmitted?

pashok25 [27]

As far as I'm concerned, this is a bogus question, or at least a severely corrupted one.

The three numbers given can NOT all be true on Earth.

-- It rolled off the table at 7.6 m/s . By golly, there you are! Its initial horizontal velocity is 7.6 m/s, and it has no vertical velocity until it leaves the table.

-- There are no horizontal forces that we're aware of acting on the object. So it maintains the same horizontal velocity for the rest of the story. It's 10.5m away from the table in (10.5 m) / (7.8 m/s) = 1.35 second .

-- Vertically, it's just an object dropped from 17.6m off the floor. Shockingly, the distance it falls in time 'T' is (1/2 g) T². In 1.35 second, that's 8.88 meters ! . . . only about halfway to the floor !

-- In order to fall 17.6 m to the floor, it would need 1.89 seconds. In that length of time, however, it would travel (7.8 m/s) x (1.89 s) = 14.78 m away from the base of the table.

So you see, either . . .

-- the table is NOT 17.6m tall, or

-- the object does NOT roll off of the table at 7.8 m/s, or

-- it does NOT land 10.5 m away from the base of the table.

OR . . .

-- the table is not on Earth, and gravity is not 9.8 m/s² !

We often see questions posted on Brainly with not enough given information, OR with some information given that's not needed because it's not involved the answer.

THIS one is different, and it's unusual. In this one, we have too much given information, we can't ignore any of it because it's all related, but it's inconsistent and it CAN't all be true.

(Unless the whole story takes place on a mystery planet that is not Earth. Which I'm not going to take the time and effort right now to figure out what the acceleration of gravity has to be in order to make all of the given information compatible.)

Suzy drops a rock from the roof of her house. Mary sees the rock pass her 2.9 m tall window in 0.134 sec. From how high above th

timama [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of window $h=2.9\ m$

time Frame for which rock can be seen is $\Delta t=0.134\ s$

Suppose h is height above which rock is dropped

Time taken to cover $h+2.9 is t_1$

so using equation of motion

$y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where y=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

time taken to travel h is

$h=0+0.5\times g\times (t_2)^2---2$

Subtract 1 and 2 we get

$2.9=0.5g(t_1^2-t_2^2)$

$5.8=g(t_1+t_2)(t_1-t_2))$

and from equation $t_1-t_2=0.134\ s$

so $t_1+t_2=\frac{5.8}{9.8\times 0.134}$

$t_1+t_2=4.416\ s$

and $t_1=t_2+\Delta t$

so $t_2+\Delta t+t_2=4.416$

$2t_2+0.134=4.416$

$t_2=0.5\times 4.282$

$t_2=2.141\ s$

substitute the value of $t_2$ in equation 2

$h=0.5\times 9.8\times (2.141)^2$

$h=22.46\ m$

Suppose a sound wave and an electromagnetic wave have the same frequency. Which has the longer wavelength? 1. the electromagneti

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

1. the electromagnetic wave.

Explanation:

Mathematically,

wavelength = velocity ÷ frequency

A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Sound waves are incapable of traveling through a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves of different frequency are called by different names since they have different sources and effects on matter, increasing frequency decreases wavelength.

Sound waves (which obviously travel at the speed of sound) are much slower than electromagnetic waves (which travel at the speed of light.)

Electromagnetic waves are much faster than sound waves and If the Velocity of the wave increases and the frequency is constant, the wavelength also increases.

Intermolecular forces hold

blagie [28]

I believe Intermolecular forces hold, molecules, ions, and atoms? But I would see if that doesn't sound familiar check it with a site or something?

If the same pressure is exerted over a greater area will more of less force result? Group of answer choices :

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

More force

Explanation:

Pressure and force are related by the equation:

$p=\frac{F}{A}$

where

p is the pressure

F is the force

A is the area

We can re-arrange the equation as

$F=pA$

In this problem, the pressure is kept the same (p' = p) while the area is increased. As we can see from the previous equation, the force applied is directly proportional to the area: therefore, a greater area means also a greater force.
