Explain in your own words how chlorophyll makes a leaf look green

Physics

<span>You may have noticed that there are plants which do not have green leaves.  Some plants are green because of a type of pigment called chlorophyll.   Plant cells contain chloroplast which constitutes the pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs red light and deep-blue light, hence, the rest of the sunlight spectrum which is being reflected causes the plant to look green.  When light reflects  off on leaves into your eyes, the leaves take in every hue of the rainbow, except for the color green, thus reflected into your eyes  and makes the leaves appear green.</span>

If a force does a positive amount of work on an object, does the object’s speed increase, decrease, or remain the same? Justify
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

see that there is no dependence on speed, so the work remains constant

Explanation:

Work is defined by the expression

        W = F. d

where the boldface indicates vectors, this equation can be written in scalar form

         W = f d cos θ

where θ is the angle between force and displacement.

We see that there is no dependence on speed, so the work remains constant

The power is

           P = W / t

           P = f d / t

           p = F v

we see that the power is the one that depends on the speed of the body

Matter's resistance to a change in motion is called _____ and is directly proportional to the mass of an object. For an object t
sergeinik [125]
The correct answer is B (Inertia)

We define inertia as the resistance to change of the state of motion. That is, a body tends to remain in its state of motion or rests unless an external for acts on it. The quantity depends on the mass of the body. If the body is heavy, it requires a large force to overcome the inertia.
