How does visible light interact with objects to produce the colors we see?

1 answer:

Kipish [7]3 years ago

3 0

Answer:

Visible light when all put together is white. When objects appear to be, lets say, red, it would be the only color not absorbed by that object. same goes with all other colors. So black objects absorb all colors (not 100%) and that is why black clothing gets hotter, it simply absorbs all incoming light, as apposed to white that will reflect the colors back, making all of them together appear white. Hope this helps, not the best at explaining things.

By what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be decreased in order to decrease the intensity by a factor of 3?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Amplitude is decreased by a factor of $\sqrt3$ if intensity is decreased by a factor of 3.

Explanation:

Intensity of a sound wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.

Therefore, if intensity is $I$ and amplitude is $A$ , then

$I=kA^2$ , where, $k$ is constant of proportionality.

Now, if intensity of sound wave is decreased by a factor of 3. So,

New intensity is, $I_{new}=\frac{I}{3}$

$I_{new}=kA_{new}^2\\\frac{I}{3}=kA_{new}^2$

Plug in $kA^2$ for $I$ . This gives,

$\frac{kA^2}{3}=kA_{new}^2\\A_{new}^2=\frac{A^2}{3}\\A_{new}=\sqrt{\frac{A^2}{3}}=\frac{A}{\sqrt{3}}$

Therefore, amplitude is decreased by a factor of $\sqrt3$ .

What is the mass of a large ship that has a momentum of 1.60x10^9 kg*m/s and is moving at a velocity of 10m/s?

Elden [556K]

Answer:

160000000 kg.

Explanation:

p=mv

p=1.6x10^9

v=10m/s

rearrange and substitute:

(1.6x10^9)=m(10)

m=(1.6x10^9)/10

m= 1.6x10^8 kg.

A dentist’s drill starts from rest. After 4.28 s of constant angular acceleration it turns at a rate of 28940 rev/min. Find the

mylen [45]

Answer:

Angular acceleration, is $708.07\ rad/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the drill, $\omega_i=0$

After 4.28 s of constant angular acceleration it turns at a rate of 28940 rev/min, final angular speed, $\omega_f=28940\ rev/min=3030.58\ rad/s$

We need to find the drill’s angular acceleration. It is given by the rate of change of angular velocity.

$\alpha =\dfrac{\omega_f}{t}\\\\\alpha =\dfrac{3030.58\ rad/s}{4.28\ s}\\\\\alpha =708.07\ rad/s^2$

So, the drill's angular acceleration is $708.07\ rad/s^2$ .
