Kiana is wearing a black shirt and shiny necklace. While she is outside at recess her shirt absorbs the light waves and gets ver

y hot in the sun, but her necklace reflects the light waves and small circles of light are seen around the yard. What explains why the light waves behaved differently on her shirt than they did on her necklace?

Answer:

Black bodies are good absorber of light waves from the sun, while shining surfaces are good reflector of the light waves.

Explanation:

Generally, a black surface or material tends to absorb light waves while under the sun, while a shiny surface is a good reflector of the waves. This is because the black material is a good absorber, and also a good emitter.

The shiny necklace can only absorb little light waves from the sun, thus it reflects most of the light waves. The reflection is the reason for the small circles of light seen around the yard.

However, when in a cool environment the black shirt would cools faster (good emitter) than the shiny necklace.

A mass attached to a 50.0 cm long string starts from rest and is rotated 40 times in one minute before reaching a final angular
ch4aika [34]

To solve this problem it is only necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion description, for this purpose we know by definition that,

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 +\omega_0 t + \theta_0

Where,

\theta = Angular Displacement

\alpha =Angular Acceleration

\omega_0 = Angular velocity

\theta_0 =Initial angular displacement

For this case we have neither angular velocity nor initial angular displacement, then

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

Re-arrange for \alpha,

\alpha = \frac{2\theta}{t^2}

Replacing our values,

\alpha = \frac{2(40rev*\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})}{60^2}

\alpha = 0.139rad/s

Therefore the ANgular acceleration of the mass is 0.139rad/s^2

Which graph shows the relationship between temperature, X, and kinetic energy, Y?
strojnjashka [21]
Answer: see the graph attached (straight line, passing through the origin and positive slope).


Justification:

1) Kinetic energy and temperature are in direct proportion. That means:

i)  Being kinetic energy y and temperature x: y α x

ii) That implies: y = kx,where k is the constant of proportionality.

iii) The graph is a line that passes through the origin and has positive slope k (k = y / x).

2) The proportional relationship between kinetic energy (KE) and temperature (T) is shown by the Boltzman law, which states:

Average KE = [3 / 2] KT, where K is Boltzman's constant, whose graph is of the form shown in the figure attached.

List the three types of symbiotic relationships. For each type of symbiotic relationship, explain how the two organisms are affe
Virty [35]
<span>The three major types of symbiosis are mutualism, where both species benefit, commensalism, where one species benefits and the other is unaffected, and parasitism, where one species benefits and the other is harmed. Symbiotic relationships can occur within an organism's body or outside of it.                                                                                                                                                                              </span><span>Examples of mutualism include the relationship between single-celled organisms or animals that incorporate algae into their bodies. They give the algae necessary nutrients, and in return receive chemical energy from the photosynthetic algae. Animals that have this sort of relationship include some sponges, sea anemones and clams. Examples of commensalism include remora fish attaching to the bodies of sharks and eating scraps of food that escape their jaws, and barnacles living on the jaws of whales with a similar feeding strategy. Plants have commensal relationships as well, such as many orchids that grow on taller plants and benefit from the additional sunlight they obtain, without actually stealing nutrients from the host plant. Parasitic relationships are many, and parasites include all disease-causing organisms. This category also includes insects such as fleas that suck the blood of hosts externally. Parasitism is a very efficient strategy for organisms, and parasites often lose many of the features of non-parasitic life forms, instead relying on their hosts for many of the functions of life.</span>
