--  Light coming from somewhere shines into the place where my friend and I both are, and it shines on the shirt.  The light may have any number of different colors (different wavelengths) of light in it, but it definitely has some light in it of a color that the shirt does NOT absorb.

--  If there are several colors (wavelengths) in the light shining on the shirt, then the fabric and the dyes in the shirt absorb some of them.  The rest, which are not absorbed into the shirt, bounce (reflect) off of it.

--  Some of the light reflected off of the shirt finds its way into my eyes.  That's how I can tell WHERE in the room the shirt is, how BIG it is, and what SHAPE it has.  Also, from the wavelengths of light that come into my eyes, and which nerves in the back of my eyes are sensitive to those wavelengths, my brain forms an impression of the COLOR of the shirt.  

-- If it ever happens that the shirt absorbs ALL of the wavelengths that happen to be in that light, and there are NO wavelengths left to bounce from it into my eyes, then the shirt will look BLACK to me.

The uterus gets ready to nurture a fertilized egg by
lukranit [14]
By flooding the uterus with a rich supply of blood for the tissue that lines the inner side of the uterus and it is called the endometrium. This happens each month during the menstrual cycle, when the body with the help of hormones which have different levels in the different times of the cycle. When it is time to prepare the uterus for a fertilized egg, the blood vessels of the endometrium swell and supply more blood to the tissue. 

In the case that a fertilized egg cell reaches the uterus, it will attach itself to the endometrium and this is the place where the fetus, and then the baby will start growing. The endometrium is the base for the growth of the placenta which is the main and most important factor for protection and nutrition of the baby.

What is ONE variable that will change the amount of POTENTIAL ENERGY<br> of a box on the floor?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The height or the mass

Explanation:

The one variable that can change the potential energy of a box on the floor is either the height or the mass of the box.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

Mathematically;

  Potential energy  = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

Therefore, if the mass of the box is changed, the potential energy changes also.

If the position of the box is changed by raising it up, the potential energy changes

A race car was is moving at a constant speed of 35 m/s. A security car was
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Final speed of security car v = 65 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of race car u1 = 35m/s

Speed of security car u2 = 5 m/s

Acceleration = 5 m/s²

Find:

Final speed of security car v

Computation:

Assume, they chase S meter

So

S = u1t + [1/2]at²

S = 35t

S = u2t + [1/2]at²

so,

35t = 5t +  [1/2](5)t²

t = 12 s

So

v = u + at

v = 5 + 5(12)

Final speed of security car v = 65 m/s

What factors determine the magnitude of the electric force between two particles ?
sattari [20]

Answer:

Force between two particles depends on the magnitude of charge on the particles and distance between them

Explanation:

We know that

According to coulomb's law electric force between two Particles is given by

F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{Q_1Q_2}{R^2}=\frac{KQ_1Q_2}{R^2}, here K is constant Q_1\ and\ Q_2\ charge\ on\ the\ particles

R is the distance between the charge particles

So force between two particles depends on the magnitude of charge on the particles and distance between them
