Answer:

B. F/2

Explanation:

The radiation force per unit area (radiation pressure Prad) exerted by an electromagnetic wave on a perfectly absorbing body has been found by experiment to be equal to the energy density of the wave

i.e Prad = u

For a reflecting body, this force exerted per unit area has been found to be twice the energy density of the wave.

i.e Prad = 2u.

Therefore, if the force exerted on a perfectly reflective body is F, then the force exerted on a perfectly absorbing body will be F/2

Boyles law<br> squeezing a balloon is one way to burst it. Why? ...?
KiRa [710]
According to Boyle's Law,  volume is inversely proportional to pressure. It means if the volume of a gas goes up the pressure goes down and if the volume of the gas goes up the pressure goes down. When the pressure of air inside the inflated balloon is more than the atmospheric pressure outside the balloon. And also when the density inside is greater than the density outside. The molecules inside the balloon move and bang around the inner walls which produces force, which provides the pressure of an enclosed air.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

velocity

Explanation:

because the si unit of mass is kg, velocity is m/s, acceleration is m/S2 , moment is kgm2/s . so 5 is given as velocity.

What is the time period of vibration?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

A time period is denoted by 'T' . It is the time to complete one cycle of vibration. As the frequency of a wave increases, the time period of the wave decreases. The unit for time period is 'seconds

A particle leaves the origin with an initial velocity v = (3.00 i hat) m/s and a constant acceleration a = (-3.00 i hat - 1.400
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

a)  —0.5 j m/s  

b) 4.5 i + 2.25 j m

Explanation:

<u>Givens:</u>

v_0 =3.00 i m/s

a= (-3 i — 1.400 j ) m/s^2  

The maximum x coordinate is reached when dx/dt = 0 or v_x = 0 ,thus :

<em>v_x = v_0 + at = 0  </em>

(3.00 i m/s) + (-3 i m/s^2)t=0

t = (3 m/s)/-3 i m/s^2

t = -1 s

Therefore the particle reaches the maximum x-coordinate at time t = 1 s.  

Part a The velocity-of course- is all in the y-direction,therefore:

v_y =v_0+ at

We have that v_0 = 0 in the y-direction.

v_y = (-0.5 j m/s^2)(1 s)

      = —0.5 j m/s  

Part b: While the position of the particle at t = 1 s is given by:

r=r_0+v_0*t+1/2*a*t^2

Where r_0 = 0 since the particle started from the origin.

Its position at t = 1 s is then given by :

r =(3.00 i m/s)(1 s)+1/2(-3 i — 1.400 j )(1 s)^2

 =4.5 i + 2.25 j m
