What portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is most absorbed by the chlorophyll pigments in the thylakoid membranes?

Physics

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.

Suppose a spacecraft orbits the moon in a very low, circular orbit, just a few hundred meters above the lunar surface. The moon
Finger [1]

Spacecraft will be moving in 1700 m/s.

Option C

<h3><u>Explanation: </u></h3>

The diameter of the moon is 3500 km and the free fall acceleration at the surface is given as  1.6\ \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^2

The radius will be half of the diameter of the moon that can be written as:  

r_{\text {moon }}=1.75 \times 10^{6}

By the application of the equation for orbit speed, we get  

\begin{aligned}&v_{\text {orbit}}=\sqrt{r \times q}\\&v_{\text {orbit}}=\sqrt{\left(1.75 \times 10^{6}\right) \times\left(1.6\ \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)}\\&v_{\text {orbit}}=1700\ \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}

Air in a 120 km/h wind strikes head on the face of abuilding 45m wide by 75m high and is brought to rest. if air has a mass of 1

From conservation of momentum, the ram force can be calculated similarly to rocket thrust:
 F = d(mv)/dt = vdm/dt.
 <span>In other words, the force needed to decelerate the wind equals the force that would be needed to produce it. 
</span><span> v = 120/3.6 = 33.33 m/s 
</span><span> dm/dt = v*area*density
</span> dm/dt = (33.33)*((45)*(75))*(1.3) 
 dm/dt = <span> 146235.375 </span><span>kg/s 
</span><span> F = v^2*area*density
</span> F = (33.33)^2*((45)*(75))*(1.3) = <span> <span>4874025 </span></span><span>N 
</span> This differs by a factor of 2 from Bernoulli's equation, which relates velocity and pressure difference in reference not to a head-on collision of the fluid with a surface but to a fluid moving tangentially to the surface. Also, a typical mass-based drag equation, like Bernoulli's equation, has a coefficient of 1/2; however, it refers to a body moving through a fluid, where the fluid encountered by the body is not stopped relative to the body (i.e., brought up to its speed) like is the case in this problem.
