Is visible light a form of radiation? Explain.

Physics
1 answer:
natali 33 [55]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Yes,in fact visible 'light' is a form of radiation, which can be defined as an energy that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. It can also be described as a flow of particle-like 'wave-packets', called photons, that travel constantly at the speed of light (about 300 000 kilometres per second).

One piece of copper jewelry at 111°C has exactly twice the mass of another piece, which is at 28°C. Both pieces are placed insid
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

83.33 C

Explanation:

T1 = 111 C, m1 = 2m

T2 = 28 C, m2 = m

c  = 0.387 J/gK

Let the final temperature inside the calorimeter of T.

Use the principle of calorimetery

heat lost by hot body = heat gained by cold body

m1 x c x (T1 - T) = m2 x c x (T - T2)

2m x c X (111 - T) = m x c x (T - 28)

2 (111 - T) = (T - 28)

222 - 2T = T - 28

3T = 250

T = 83.33 C

Thus, the final temperature inside calorimeter is 83.33 C.

A man of weight Wman is standing on the second floor and is pulling on a rope to lift a box of weight Wbox from the floor below.
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

See the attached figure . See the forces acting on man pulling up the box .

Man is stationary so net force acting on man is zero .

T + R = Wman

R is the reaction force of the ground of second floor  .

R = Wman - T

In a closed system, the loss of momentum of one object ________ the gain in momentum of another object.
Virty [35]

In a closed system, the loss of momentum of one object is same as________ the gain in momentum of another object

according to law of conservation of momentum, total momentum before and after collision in a closed system in absence of any net external force, remains conserved . that is

total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

P₁ + P₂ = P'₁ + P'₂

where P₁ and P₂ are momentum before collision for object 1 and object 2 respectively.

P'₁ - P₁  = - (P'₂ -  P₂)

so clearly gain in momentum of one object is same as the loss of momentum of other object

Dragsters can actually reach a top speed of 145.0 m/s in only 4.45 s. (a) Calculate the average acceleration for such a dragster
astraxan [27]

Answer:

a) 32.58 m/s²

b) 161.84 m/s

Explanation:

Initial velocity = u = 0

Final velocity = v = 145 m/s

Time taken = t = 4.45 s

s = Displacement of dragster = 402 m

a = Acceleration

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{145-0}{4.45}\\\Rightarrow a=32.58\ m/s^2

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as-u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 32.58\times 402-0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=161.84\ m/s

The final velocity is greater than the velocity used to find the average acceleration due to the gear changes. The first gear in a dragster has the most amount of toque which means the acceleration will be maximum. The final gears have less torque which means the acceleration is lower here. The final gears have less acceleration but can spin faster which makes the dragster able to reach higher speeds but slowly.
