Answer:

The black shirt would be hotter.

Explanation:

Most of us have already felt regret for leaving the house wearing black clothes on a hot day and with the sun showing. This has to do with the fact that black or very dark colored objects are absorbent, while light clothes and objects are reflective.

Going back to physics classes, we came to the idea that the color that we see in an object is related to the wavelengths of light reflected in that object, right?

Black objects, like the shirt you decided to wear, are black in color because they absorb all wavelengths in white light, but do not reflect any of them.

Then, throughout the day, you walk, run so as not to miss the bus, go out to lunch, and the shirt ends up absorbing all the light that comes from the Sun. As this light does not simply disappear, it is converted into other forms of energy - the heat enters there, which is then emitted. Therefore, the darker a garment, the more heat it will emit, and this is because it is a beautiful absorber of light.

A painter stands a horizontal platform which has a mass of 20kg and is 5m long, the platform is suspended by two vertical ropes
Lerok [7]

Answer:

R = 715.4 N

L =  166.6 N

Explanation:

ASSUME the painter is standing right of center

Let L be the left rope tension

Let R be the right rope tension

Sum moments about the left end to zero. Assume CCW moment is positive

R[5] - 20(9.8)[5/2] - 70(9.8)[5/2 + 2] = 0

R = 715.4 N

Sum moments about the right end to zero

20(9.8)[5/2] + 70(9.8)[5/2 - 2] - L[5] = 0

L =  166.6 N

We can verify by summing vertical forces

116.6 + 715.4 - (70 + 20)(9.8) ?=? 0

                                             0 = 0  checks

If the assumption about which side of center the paint stood is incorrect, the only difference would be the values of L and R would be swapped.

Answer:

The Kinetic Energy decreases. The Total Energy stays the same

Explanation:

The TE stays the same, so if PE increases then KE will decrease.
