What is the theory of light?

Physics

Lostsunrise [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Corpuscular theory of light

Explanation:

In optics, the corpuscular theory of light, arguably set forward by Descartes in 1637, states that light is made up of small discrete particles called "corpuscles" which travel in a straight line with a finite velocity and possess impetus. This was based on an alternate description of atomism of the time period.

Fiora starts riding her bike at 20 mi/h. After a while, she slows down to 14 mi/h, and maintains that speed for the rest of the
goblinko [34]

Answer:

3.5 hours

Explanation:

Speed = distance/time

Let the distance that Fiora biked at 20 mi/h through be x miles and the time it took her to bike through that distance be t hours at 20 mi/h

Then, the rest of the distance that she biked at 14 mi/h is (112 - x) miles

And the time she spent biking at 14 mi/h the rest of the distance = (6.5 - t) hours

Her first biking speed = 20 mph = 20 miles/hour

Speed = distance/time

20 = x/t

x = 20 t (eqn 1)

Her second biking speed = 14 mph = 14 miles/hour

14 = (112 - x)/(6.5 - t)

112 - x = 14 (6.5 - t)

112 - x = 91 - 14t (eqn 2)

Substitute for x in (eqn 2)

112 - 20t = 91 - 14t

20t - 14t = 112 - 91

6t = 21

t = 3.5 hours

x = 20t = 20 × 3.5 = 70 miles.

(112 - x) = 112 - 70 = 42 miles

(6.5 - t) = 6.5 - 3.5 = 3 hours

Meaning that she travelled at 20 mi/h for 3.5 hours.

Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are related in that both
kaheart [24]

Answer:

allow the downward movement of the concentration gradient by passive transport

Explanation:

Passive transport is a process of substance transport, which is carried out spontaneously, without energy expenditure and in favor of the concentration gradient, that is, from a medium where the molecules are more concentrated towards a medium where their concentration is lower.

Three types of passive transport are distinguished: osmosis, simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion

<u>Simple diffusion</u>

It is the passage, through the plasma membrane, of small molecules without charge soluble in the lipid bilayer, such as some gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide). For a molecule to diffuse through the membrane it is necessary that there is a difference in concentration between the external and the internal environment.

<u>Diffusion facilitated </u>

There are molecules such as amino acids, glucose and small ions that, due to their chemical and size characteristics, cannot diffuse through the lipid bilayer and require transport proteins for diffusion.

The transport proteins are immersed in the plasma membrane and can be of two types: protein channels, formed by proteins that generate a channel in the membrane, and permeases, which are proteins that, when joined to the molecule to be transported, change their shape by carrying them into the cell.

A skater of mass 60 kg has an initial velocity of 12 m/s. He slides on ice where the frictional force is 36 N. How far will the
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

d = 120 [m]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the theorem of work and energy conservation. Where the energy in the final state (when the skater stops) is equal to the sum of the mechanical energy in the initial state plus the work done on the skater in the initial state.

The mechanical energy is equal to the sum of the potential energy plus the kinetic energy.  As the track is horizontal there is no unevenness, in this way, there is no potential energy.

E₁ + W₁₋₂ = E₂

where:

E₁  = mechanical energy in the initial state [J] (units of Joules)

W₁₋₂ = work done between the states 1 and 2 [J]

E₂  = mechanical energy in the final state = 0

E₁ = Ek = kinetic energy [J]

E₁ = 0.5*m*v²

where:

m = mass = 60 [kg]

v = initial velocity = 12 [m/s]

Now, the work done is given by the product of the friction force by the distance. In this case, the work is negative because the friction force is acting in opposite direction to the movement of the skater.

W₁₋₂ = -f*d

where:

f = friction force = 36 [N]

d = distance [m]

Now we have:

0.5*m*v² - (f*d) = 0

0.5*60*(12)² - (36*d) = 0

4320 = 36*d

d = 120 [m]

The drawing shows Robin Hood (mass = 85.0 kg) about to escape from a dangerous situation. With one hand, he is gripping the rope
mixas84 [53]
The resultant force on the system is equivalent to the difference in the weights of the chandelier and Robin Hood.
F(net) = 240g - 85g
F(net) = 155g

Robin Hood's Acceleration:
F = ma
155g = 85a
a = 17.89 m/s²

Tension = mg + ma
Tension = 85(g + a)
Tension = 2400 N
