Answer: The visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, <u>specifically blue and red wavelength</u>

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that pigments generally absorb more light than they reflect (they absorb certain wavelengths and reflect others). Therefore, the color that a given object seems to have depends on which parts of the visible electromagnetic spectrum are reflected and which parts are absorbed.

In this sense, in the thylakoid membranes there are two types of <u>chlorophyll pigments</u>:

-clorophyll b that absorbs the blue light of the electromagnetic spectrum

-clorophyll a that bsorbs the red light of the electromagnetic spectrum

That is why we generally see plants in green color and not in other colors.

<h3>What is conservation of momentum?</h3>

Momentum of an object is the force of speed of it in motion. Momentum of a moving body is the product of mass times velocity. By the law of conservation of momentum,

$m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v$

Here, (m) is the mass, (u) is initial velocity before collision, v is final velocity after collision and (subscript 1, and 2) are used for body 1 and 2 respectively. Rewrite the formula for final velocity as,

$v=\dfrac{m_1u_1 + m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}$

A 0. 060-kg tennis ball, moving with a speed of 5. 82 m/s, has a head-on collision with a 0. 090-kg ball, initially moving in the same direction at a speed of 3.44 m/s. Thus, the initial velocity of the second ball is,

$v_{2f}=5.82+3.44+v_{1f}\\v_{2f}=2.38+v_{1f}$

Let v1f is the final velocity of first ball. Thus, the initial velocity of the first ball is,

$v_{1f}=\dfrac{(0.060)(5.82) + (0.090)(3.44-2.38)}{(0.060)+(0.090)}\\v_{1f}=2.964\rm\; m/s$

Thus, final speed of the tennis ball, moving with a speed of 5. 82 m/s , has a head-on collision with a 0. 090-kg ball is 2.964 m/s.

En un experimento de calorimetría, 0.50 kg de un metal a 100°C se añaden a 0.50 kg de agua a 20°C en un vaso de calorímetro de a

Maru [420]

Answer:

c=0.14J/gC

Explanation:

2) The specific heat will be the same because it is a property of the substance and does not depend on the medium.

We can use the expression for heat transmission

$Q=mc(T_2-T_1)$

In this case the heat given by the metal (which is at a higher temperature) is equal to that gained by the water, that is to say

$Q_1=-Q_2$

for water we have to

c = 4.18J / g ° C

replacing we have

$c_{metal}*(500g)(100\°C-25\°C)=-(250g)(4.18\frac{J}{g\°C})(20\°C-25\°C)\\c_{metal}=0.14\frac{J}{g\°C}$

I hope this is useful for you

2) El calor específico será igual porque es una propiedad de la sustancia y no depende del medio.

Podemos usar la expresión para la transmisión de calor

$Q=mc(T_2-T_1)$

En este caso el calor cedido por el metal (que está a mayor temperatura) es igual al ganado por el agua, es decir

$Q_1=-Q_2$

para el agua tenemos que

c=4.18J/g°C

reemplazando tenemos

$c_{metal}*(500g)(100\°C-25\°C)=-(250g)(4.18\frac{J}{g\°C})(20\°C-25\°C)\\c_{metal}=0.14\frac{J}{g\°C}$

A packing crate rests on a horizontal surface. It is acted on by three horizontal forces: 600 N to the left, 200 N to the right,

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The resultant force would (still) be zero.

Explanation:

Before the 600-N force is removed, the crate is not moving (relative to the surface.) Its velocity would be zero. Since its velocity isn't changing, its acceleration would also be zero.

In effect, the 600-N force to the left and 200-N force to the right combines and acts like a 400-N force to the left.

By Newton's Second Law, the resultant force on the crate would be zero. As a result, friction (the only other horizontal force on the crate) should balance that 400-N force. In this case, the friction should act in the opposite direction with a size of 400 N.

When the 600-N force is removed, there would only be two horizontal forces on the crate: the 200-N force to the right, and friction. The maximum friction possible must be at least 200 N such that the resultant force would still be zero. In this case, the static friction coefficient isn't known. As a result, it won't be possible to find the exact value of the maximum friction on the crate.

However, recall that before the 600-N force is removed, the friction on the crate is 400 N. The normal force on the crate (which is in the vertical direction) did not change. As a result, one can hence be assured that the maximum friction would be at least 400 N. That's sufficient for balancing the 200-N force to the right. Hence, the resultant force on the crate would still be zero, and the crate won't move.
