I believe it is B, the object that reflects a lot of light, absorbs a little light, and transmit almost no light.

The correct answer to the question is: Object B.

EXPLANATION:

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand the reflection coefficient, transmission coefficient and absorption coefficient.

The reflection coefficient ( r )of an object is the ratio of energy reflected to the total energy incident on the object.

The absorption coefficient ( a )  of an object is defined as ratio of amount of energy absorbed to the amount of energy incident on it.

Similarly, the ratio of amount of energy transmitted to the total amount of energy incident is called transmission coefficient ( t ).

We know that a + r + t = 1

If a = 0 and t = 0, the reflection coefficient r = 1.

The body having reflection coefficient approximately equal to one will reflect a lot of light, absorbs a little light, and will transmit almost no light.

As per options given in the question, the body B is more polished and shining. Hence, its reflection coefficient is more as compared to transmission and absorption coefficient.

Hence, the answer of the question is object B.

A 24 volt battery is connected to a 3Ω resistor and a 5Ω resistor in series. What is the current in the circuit?
Vladimir [108]

Answer: 3 Amperes

Explanation:

Voltage of battery = 24 volts

R1 = 3Ω

R2 = 5Ω

Total resistance = ?

Current, I = ?

Since the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance (Rtotal) of the circuit is the sum of each resistance.

i.e Rtotal = R1 + R2

Rtotal = 3Ω + 5Ω = 8Ω

Now recall that voltage = current x resistance

i.e V = I x Rtotal

24volts = I x 8Ω

I = 24 volts / 8Ω

I = 3 amperes

Thus, there is 3 Amperes of current in the circuit

50g of ice at 0°C is mixed with 50g of water at 80°C, what will be the final temperature of a mixture in
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

0° C

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of ice, m = 50g

Mass of water, m(w) = 50g

Temperature of ice, T(i) = 0° C

Temperature of water, T(w) = 80° C

Also, it is known that

Specific heat of water, c = 1 cal/g/°C

Latent heat of ice, L(w) = 89 cal/g

Let us assume T to be the final temperature of mixture.

This makes the energy balance equation:

Heat gained by ice to change itself into water + heat gained by melted ice(water) to raise its temperature at T° C = heat lost by water to reach at T° C

m(i).L(i) + m(i).c(w)[T - 0] = m(w).c(w)[80 - T], on substituting, we have

50 * 80 + 50 * 1(T - 0) = 50 * 1(80 - T)

4000 + 50T = 4000 - 50T

0 = 100 T

T = 0° C

Thus, the final temperature is 0° C

 A hotdog cannon shoots a hotdog straight up in the air with an initial velocity of 30 m/s. How high will the hotdog fly?
Yuri [45]

At its peak height, the hotdog will have no vertical velocity, so that

{v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2(-g)\Delta y\implies-\left(30\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)^2=2\left(-9.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)y_{\mathrm{max}}

\implies y_{\mathrm{max}}=46\,\mathrm m
