Answer:

a) <em>8.33 x 10^-6 Pa</em>

b) <em>8.23 x 10^-11 atm</em>

c) <em>1.67 x 10^-5 Pa</em>

d) <em>1.65 x 10^-10 atm</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Intensity of the light I = 2500 W/m^2

speed of light c<u> </u>= 3 x 10^8 m/s

a) we know that the pressure for for a totally absorbing surface is given as

P_{abs} = I/c = 2500/(3 x 10^8) = <em>8.33 x 10^-6 Pa</em>

b) 1 atm = 101325 Pa

P_{abs} = (8.33 x 10^-6)/101325 = <em>8.23 x 10^-11 atm</em>

c) for a totally reflecting surface

P_{ref} = 2I/c = twice the value for totally absorbing

P_{ref}  = 2 x 8.33 x 10^-6 = <em>1.67 x 10^-5 Pa</em>

d)  1 atm = 101325 Pa

P_{ref} = 2 x 8.23 x 10^-11  = <em>1.65 x 10^-10 atm</em>

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

7 Newton

Explanation:

Dado

Longitud de la cuerda = 50 m

El cable se dobla en 0,058 m.

Masa de roedor = 350 gramos = 0,35 kg

T = m * a + m × v2 / r

Sustituyendo los valores dados obtenemos

T = 0,35 (10 + 10)

T = 0,35 * 20

T = 7 Newton

Armand hands the rock to Pierre, who is standing next to the trampoline. Explain how Armand moves, in terms of the forces acting
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Armando's weight ,restored force created by the trampoline

a harmonic movement within the trampoline

Explanation:

In a trampoline we have two forces that actuate Armando's weight and the restored force created by the trampoline that depends on the deformation distance of the elastic canvas.

Amando's weight is vertical and directed towards the center of the Earth and has a constant value, this weight is balanced with the elastic force the springboard exerts on Armando in a vertical direction.

In general, when entering the trampoline, a small jump is made, this creates a speed that deforms the canvas until the speed is reduced to zero, at this point the elastic force is greater than the weight and the boy begins to climb, After the boy leaves the canvas he meets only the force of gravity and his speed decreases to zero and begins his fall.

In Summary Armando is in a harmonic movement within the trampoline

What is the role of gravity when it comes to changing the velocity of objects?
Alex787 [66]

Gravity is the attraction of every body to every other body due to the masses of each body. The larger the mass, the greater the force. It also depends on the distances: the closer the bodies, the greater the force. Gravity is directed toward the center of a body, and the distance is measured from the center.

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls.

What is a loose icy body with a long narrow orbit?
Bumek [7]
A comet is the loose, icy body with a long, narrow orbit. 
Comets are very small solar system body made mainly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comets are not larger than a few kilometers across. The main body of the comet is called the nucleus, and it can contain water, methane, nitrogen and other ices. Their speeds vary depending on their orbits and where they are in it. The closer they are to the sun, the faster they are going.
