What is not an example of Absorption? (Physics)

Physics
1 answer:
amm18122 years ago
5 0

When a light wave strikes an object, it can be absorbed, reflected, or refracted by the object. All objects have a degree of reflection and absorption. ... In the natural world, light can also be transmitted by an object. That is, light can pass through an object with no effect (an x-ray, for example).

If 500 J of energy were added to 1 kg of each of these samples, which would experience the LEAST temperature increase? aluminum,
yan [13]

The specific heat capacities of different metals determine the amount of heat required to raise their temperature by 1K. The metals provided have the following heat capacities.

Aluminium-921

Brass-401

copper-376

Platinum-125

The higher the heat capacity, the more the energy required to raise the temperature. Therefore, aluminium has the least temperature increase.

What is the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth about the Sun? Assume the earth is a uniform sphere, mass of the Earth is 5.9
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

2.66x10^33 J

Explanation:

In order to do this, we first need to know the expression for kinetic energy:

E = 1/2 I*w²  (1)

I is moment of innertia

w is angular speed.

Moment of Innertia can be calculated using the following expression:

I = 2/5 M*R²  (2)

M is mass of earth, R is radius of earth

Replacing the data in expression (2) we have:

I = 2/5 * 5.97x10^24 * (6.37x10^6)²

I = 9.69x10^37 kg m²

Next, we need to calculate the angular speed of Earth over it's axis, this is easy, because we know the Earth rotates over it's own axis once a day, 24 hours (86400 s), and assuming Earth is a perfect sphere, we can calculate the speed:

w = 2π / 86400 = 7.27x10^-5 rad/s

next thing we need to do is calculate the rotational kinetic energy of earth on it's axis, using equation (1) so:

E = 1/2 * 9.69x10^37 * (7.27x10^-5)²

E = 2.56x10^29 J

Now that we have this value, we can finally calculate the rotational kinetic energy of earth about the sun. For that, we need to calculate again the angular speed of earth about the sun. The Earth rotates around the sun once a year, or 365 days, which is 3.1536x10^7 s, so the angular speed would be:

w = 2π/3.1536x10^7 = 1.99x10^-7 rad/s

finally the energy is the combination of the sun and earth so:

K = 1/2 (Ie + Me*Rorb²)wo²

I is innertia for earth

Me mass of earth

Rorb RAdius of orbit around the sun

wo is angular speed around the sun

Replacing the data we finally have:

K = 1/2 [9.69x10^37 + 5.97x10^24 * (1.5x10^11)²]*(1.99x10^-7)²

K = 2.66x10^33 J
