What happens when visible light strikes a surface?

Physics

Absorption: 

<span>If the wavelength of the light happens to match the distance between two electron levels in the material, it can be absorbed. Light disappears and its energy becomes part of the heat energy of the material. </span>

<span>Metals have so many free electrons that all wavelengths are absorbed -- they are opaque to xrays, visible light, radio waves, everything. </span>
<span>Pigments have specific electron gaps that absorb only the light of a specific wavelength, which we see as color </span>
<span>Transparent materials do not happen to have any gaps between electron levels that match any of the wavelengths of visible light. </span>

If the crate shown here is moving at a constant speed in a straight line and the force applied is 310 N, what is the magnitude o
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

f_k = 310N

the answer is A.

Explanation:

Using the laws of newton:

∑F = ma

where ∑F is the sumatory of forces acting in the system, m the mass and a the acelertion of the system.

Then, if the block is moving with constant velocity, its aceleration is equal to 0, so:

∑F = m(0)

∑F = 0

It means that:

F -f_k = 0

where F is the force applied and f_k is the friction force. Replacing the value of F, we get:

310N -f_k = 0

Finally, solving for f_k:

f_k = 310N

What is air pressure?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

A. Earth's gravity pulling down on air molecules

Explanation:

Air pressure refers to the weight of the air per unit surface area. It is the amount of gravitational force which is pulling down the molecules of air.

The common unit of air pressure is: Pascal, atm

1 atm = 101325 Pa

As the column of the air above increases, the air pressure increase. This is because with the increase in amount of air, the weight increase of the air increases. This is the reason a diver feels immense pressure in the sea and cooking takes a lot of time on hilly areas because of low air pressure.

Without Newton’s third law of motion, what would an object sitting on a table do?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Newton's third law: If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A. This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.
