Answer:

Explanation: the pigment atoms in the skin absorb photons of all energies except those that correspond to red wavelengths of light, which they reflect back to your eye.

Answer:

B. Tomatos reflect red light

Explanation:

The only reason colors exist is because the objects with color reflect all other light except for what they are portrayed as. White reflects all colors, and black absorbs all colors.

An ice-making machine inside a refrigerator operates in a Carnot cycle. It takes heat from liquid water at 0.0 ∘C and rejects he

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

2.36 x 10^6 J

Explanation:

Tc = 0°C = 273 K

TH = 22.5°C = 295.5 K

Qc = heat used to melt the ice

mass of ice, m = 85.7 Kg

Latent heat of fusion, L = 3.34 x 10^5 J/kg

Let Energy supplied is E which is equal to the work done

Qc = m x L = 85.7 x 3.34 x 10^5 = 286.24 x 10^5 J

Use the Carnot's equation

$\frac{Q_{H}}{Q_{c}}=\frac{T_{H}}{T_{c}}$

$Q_{H}=286.24\times 10^{5}\times \frac{295.5}{273}$

QH = 309.8 x 10^5 J

W = QH - Qc

W = (309.8 - 286.24) x 10^5

W = 23.56 x 10^5 J

W = 2.36 x 10^6 J

Thus, the energy supplied is 2.36 x 10^6 J.

A student lifts a physical science book off the table and above their head. Is there work being done?

DiKsa [7]

Answer: A force must cause a displacement in order for work to be done. A book falls off a table and free falls to the ground. Yes. This is an example of work.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The length of his shadow is decreasing at a rate of 1.13 m/s

Explanation:

The ray of light hitting the ground forms a right angled triangle of height H, which is the height of the building and width, D which is the distance of the tip of the shadow from the building.

Also, the height of the man, h which is parallel to H forms a right-angled triangle of width, L which is the length of the shadow.

By similar triangles,

H/D = h/L

L = hD/H

Also, when the man is 4 m from the building, the length of his shadow is L = D - 4

So, D - 4 = hD/H

H(D - 4) = hD

H = hD/(D - 4)

Since h = 2 m and D = 12 m,

H = 2 m × 12 m/(12 m - 4 m)

H = 24 m²/8 m

H = 3 m

Since L = hD/H

and h and H are constant, differentiating L with respect to time, we have

dL/dt = d(hD/H)/dt

dL/dt = h(dD/dt)/H

Now dD/dt = velocity(speed) of man = -1.7 m/s ( negative since he is moving towards the building in the negative x - direction)

Since h = 2 m and H = 3 m,

dL/dt = h(dD/dt)/H

dL/dt = 2 m(-1.7 m/s)/3 m

dL/dt = -3.4/3 m/s

dL/dt = -1.13 m/s

So, the length of his shadow is decreasing at a rate of 1.13 m/s

Why is the law of gravity a scientific law

Yuri [45]

An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon another force.

Newton used this to prove that gravity existed. Without an unseen force, we could throw a ball and it would go on forever correct? Unless there was something to pull it down, in this case, gravity.

2 objects have a total momentum of 400kg m/s, they collide. Object A’s mass is5kg & object B’s mass is 11kg. After the colli

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum .

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision .

Momentum before collision = 400 kg m/s

Momentum after collision = 5 x v + 11 x 15

where v is velocity of A after the collision .

5 x v + 11 x 15 = 400

5 v = 400 - 165

5v = 235

v = 47 m /s .
