Why do opaque materials become warmer when light shines on them?

Physics
1 answer:
gavmur [86]3 years ago

Opaque materials absorb all the light that shines on them.  None of it comes out the other side.  That's why they're opaque.

Opaque materials become warmer when light shines on them, because <em>they absorb the energy</em> carried by the light that shines on them.  (According to the law of Conservation of Energy, that energy has gotta go somewhere.)

An engineer is building a new water dam. She needs the turbine to spin at least 100,00 j of kinetic energy. If the reservoir hol
Kay [80]

Answer:

The water must flow with the velocity of 141.4m/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy is energy due to the motion of a body

In this Case the kinetic energy of the turbine is given as

KE=1/2mv²

Where KE= kinetic energy

m= mass of water

v= velocity of the water

Data given

KE=10000j

m=1000g------kg =1000/1000= 1kg

v=?

Substituting our data into the expression we have

10,000=1/2(1*v²)

10,000=v²/2

Solving for v we have

v²=20,000

v=√20,000

v=141.4m/s

A spaceship starting from a resting position accelerates at a constant rate of 9.8 meters per second per second. How long and ho
Verizon [17]

Accelerating at 9.8 m/s² means that every second, the speed is 9.8 m/s faster than it was a second earlier.  It's not important to the problem, but this number (9.8) happens to be the acceleration of gravity on Earth.

1% of the speed of light = (300,000,000 m/s) / 100 = 3,000,000 m/s .

Starting from zero speed, moving (9.8 m/s) faster every second,
how long does it take to reach  3,000,000 m/s ?

           (3,000,000 m/s) / (9.8 m/s²)  =  306,122 seconds .
                                                   (That's  5,102 minutes.)
                                                        (That's  85 hours.)
                                                     (That's  3.54 days.)

Speed at the beginning . . . zero .
Speed at the end . . . 3,000,000 m/s
Average speed . . . . . 1,500,000 m/s

Distance = (average speed) x (time)

               = (1,500,000 m/s) x (306,122 sec) = 4.592 x 10¹¹ meters

                                                                     =  459 million kilometers

                         That's like from Earth
                                                  to       Sun
                                                             to    Earth
                                                                    to        Sun.

does it require more energy to brew 12 cups with the coffee-maker or reheat 12 cups of coffee in a microwave?
Leni [432]
It would take more energy to reheat 12 cups because only 1 or 2 cups can fit in a microwave rather an than brewing 12 cups in a coffee pot.
