Answer: 1.black

Explanation:

A green object, like the leaf in this problem, absorbs all colors of light except for the green color. In fact, the object is able to reflect only the green light, and this is why the object appears green to us: because this is the only color reflected by the leaf.

Therefore, if we hit the leaf with red color, it will appear black: in fact, the leaf is will absorb the red light, and there are no more colors to be reflected - therefore, the leaf will appear black (which corresponds to absence of color).

NISA [10]

Answer:

We show added energy to a system as +Q or -W

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that, in an isolated system, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed;

Energy is added to the internal energy of a system as either work energy or heat energy as follows;

ΔU = Q - W

Therefore, when energy is added as heat energy to a system, we show the energy as positive Q (+Q), when energy is added to the system in the form of work, we show the energy as minus W (-W).

Two identical charges,2.0m apart,exert forces of magnitude 4.0 N on each other.What is the value of either charge?

storchak [24]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{42\, \mu \text{C}}$$

Explanation:

The formula for the force exerted between two charges is

$F=k \dfrac{ q_1q_2}{r^2}$

where k is the Coulomb constant.

The charges are identical, so we can write the formula as

$F=k\dfrac{q^{2}}{r^2}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{4.0 N}& = & 8.988 \times 10^{9}\text{ N$\cdot$m$^{2}$C$^{-2}$} \times \dfrac{q^{2}}{\text{(2.0 m)}^{2}}\\\\4.0 & = & 2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$} \times q^{2}\\\\q^{2} & = & \dfrac{4.0}{2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$}}\\\\& = & 1.78 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C}^{2}\\q & = & 4.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ C}\\& = & 42\, \mu \text{C}\\\end{array}\\\text{Each charge has a value of $\large \boxed{\mathbf{42\, \mu }\textbf{C}}$}$

The critical angle for a special type of glass in air is 30.8 ◦ . the index of refraction for water is 1.33. what is the critica

Alina [70]

When light moves from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, the critical angle is the angle above which there is no refracted light, and all the light is reflected. The value of this angle is given by
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )$
where n2 and n1 are the refractive indices of the second and first medium, respectively.

In the first part of the problem, light moves from glass to air ( $n_a=1.00$ ) and the critical angle is $\theta_c = 30.8^{\circ}$ . This means that we can find the refractive index of glass by re-arranging the previous formula:
$n_g=n_1 = \frac{n_2}{\sin \theta_c}= \frac{1.00}{\sin 30.8^{\circ}}=1.95$

Now the glass is put into water, whose refractive index is $n_w = 1.33$ . If light moves from glass to water, the new critical angle will be
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )=\arcsin( \frac{n_w}{n_g} )=\arcsin( \frac{1.33}{1.95} )=\arcsin(0.68)=43.0^{\circ}$
