Explain in two or three sentences how we can know what an object is made out of by looking at the light it gives off?

Physics

Answer:

The act of 'seeing' an object is the result of light from any luminous source e.g. the Sun, a glowing candle or a torch, radiating outwardly from the source until it strikes the object and is reflected to travel to the observer's eyes where if it retains sufficient intensity it will form an image on the retina. i hope this helps

A 100-N force causes an object to<br> accelerate at 2 m/s/s. What is the<br> mass of the object?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

50\; \rm kg.

Explanation:

By Newton's Second Law, the acceleration a of an object is proportional to the net force \sum F on it. In particular, if the mass of the object is m, then

\sum F = m \cdot a.

Rewrite this equation to obtain:

\displaystyle m = \frac{\sum F}{a}.

In this case, the assumption is that the 100\; \rm N force is the only force that is acting on the object. Hence, the net force \sum F on the object would also be

Make sure that all values are in their standard units. Forces should be in Newtons (same as \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2}, and the acceleration of the object should be in meters-per-second-squared (\rm m \cdot s^{-2}). Apply the equation \displaystyle m = \frac{\sum F}{a} to find the mass of the object.

\displaystyle m = \frac{100\; \rm N}{2\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}} = 50\; \rm kg.

A 1300-kg car initially has a velocity of 22.2 m/s due south. It brakes to a stop over a 180 m distance.
Vaselesa [24]
The acceleration of the object which moves from an initial step to a full halt given the distance traveled can be calculated through the equation,
                                     d = v² / 2a
where d is distance, v is the velocity, and a is acceleration
Substituting the known values,
                                     180 = (22.2 m/s)² / 2(a)
The value of a is equal to 1.369 m/s²
The force needed for the object to be stopped is equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration.
                                      F = (1300 kg)(1.369 m/s²) 
                                            F = 1779.7 N

Would the solar panel work under a fluorescent or halogen light? explain your response being sure to relate your observations to
eduard

I think that the solar panel would work under a fluorescent or halogen light if the photons are being produced. These types of lights mimic sunlight so it would not work as good as the real thing but it could work. Just not be as powerful.
