Alecsey [184]3 years ago
6 0

Yes, light enters your eye and makes things visible. It's only a small portion of the elctromagnetic spectrum. It's called "visible light." What other things does the question want to know? I could go in a describe what light really is but I think itd be unnecessary.

a rectangular tank measures 12.5 metres long 10.0 wide and 2.0 metre high calculate the mass of the water in the tank when it is
Tom [10]

Answer:

250000kg

Explanation:

Mass =density * volume

Density=1000kg/m³

Volume=l*w*h

12.5*10.0*2.0=250m³

Mass=1000 *250

=250000kg

A 4 kilogram box is at rest on a frictionless floor. A net force of 12 newtons acts on it. What is the acceleration of the box?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

<h2>3 m/s^2</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given

Mass m= 4kg

Force F= 12N

Required

Acceleration the relation between force, acceleration, and mass is Newton's first equation of motion, which says a body will continue to be at rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force

F=ma

a=F/m

a=12/4

a=3 m/s^2

Is there a frame of reference one can go into that seems to eliminate gravity as Newton described it?
andriy [413]

Answer:

Yes such a frame exists: a free-fall (free-float frame) frame. This frame of reference is subject only to gravity and no forces such as electromagnetic forces or nuclear forces.

How can a global dependence on fossil fuels have associated social costs?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Global dependence on fossil fuels has associated social costs.

Explanation:

Increased dependence on fossil fuels reduces their availability. When the demand is high and the availability is low, the price rises. Not every nation would then be able to afford buying fossil fuels at such high costs.

Developing and underdeveloped countries would then be left behind and only the wealthy nations would be able to afford fossil fuel purchase. This would be the immediate impact of global dependence on fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels are mainly coal, petroleum and natural gas. Since fossil fuels are non-renewable in nature over exploitation may lead to fossil fuels getting exhausted.

An airplane travels at 300 mi/h south for 2.00 h and then at 250 mi/h north for 750 miles. What is the average speed for the tri
Anettt [7]

Answer:

270 mi/h

Explanation:

Given that,

To the south,

v₁ = 300 mi/h, t₁ = 2 h

We can find distance, d₁

d_1=v_1\times t_1\\\\d_1=300\times 2\\\\d_1=600\ \text{miles}

To the north,

v₂ = 250 mi/h, d₂ = 750 miles

We can find time, t₂

t_2=\dfrac{d_2}{v_2}\\\\t_2=\dfrac{750\ \text{miles}}{250\ \text{mi/h}}\\\\t_2=3\ h

Now,

Average speed = total distance/total time

V=\dfrac{d_1+d_2}{t_1+t_2}\\\\V=\dfrac{600+750}{2+3}\\\\V=270\ \text{mi/h}

Hence, the average speed for the trip is 270 mi/h.
