A scientist designs an experiment in which a light source is pointed at a substance and a light detector is placed on the opposi

te side of the substance.
When the light source is turned on, the scientist observes that no light is detected on the far side of the substance. What is the best interpretation for this observation?

A. The light was either reflected or transmitted by the substance.
B. The light was both absorbed and reflected by the substance.
C. The light was both reflected and transmitted by the substance.
D. The light was either absorbed or reflected by the substance.

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

When a light falls on a substance, it can reflect, absorb or transmitted by it. It is possible that a combination of above phenomenon occurs.

In the given situation, as no light is detected by the light detector, it means that no light is transmitted by the substance. The light must be either absorbed or bounced back (reflected).

Thus, option D is correct.

The answer is D. Either absorbed or reflected. The reason is because if no light is being shown on the other side, the substance is not letting any light pass through. Since we do not know anything else about the substance, we do not know which one of the two it is doing. The scientist would not see any light on the detector if 100% of the light is reflected and the same thing would happen if 100% of the light was absorbed.

Two blocks of masses m1 and m2 are connected to each other on an Atwood machine (the blocks are connected by a string going over
ddd [48]

Answer:211.11 gm

Explanation:

Given

mass of lighter block m_1=100 gm

mass of heavier  block is m_2

acceleration of system a=3.5 m/s^2

From diagram

for lighter block

T-m_1g=m_1a

T=m_1(g+a)

For heavier Block

m_2g-T=m_2a

T=m_2(g-a)

Equating Tension T

m_1(g+a)=m_2(g-a)

m_2=m_1\cdot \frac{g+a}{g-a}

m_2=m_1\cdot \frac{9.8+3.5}{9.8-3.5}

m_2=0.1\cdot 2.11

m_2=0.2111 kg

m_2=211.11 gm

Complete Question

Answer:

The value  is v  = 3.57 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The depth  is  d =  979 \  m

   The time taken for water to fall to below the river is  t =  14 \ s

   The  horizontal distance from the base of the vertical cliff is  h  =  50 \  m

     Generally  the horizontal speed at the top is mathematically represented as

         v  =  \frac{h}{t}

=>      v  =  \frac{  50}{ 14 }

=>     v  = 3.57 \  m/s

A uniform steel rod of length 0.9 m and mass 3.8 kg has two point masses of 2.3 kg each at the two ends. Calculate the moment of
polet [3.4K]

Answer: 2.4705\ kg.m^2

Explanation:

Given

length of the rod is L=0.9 m

Mass of the rod m=3.8 kg

Point masses has mass of m=2.3 kg

Moment of Inertia of the rod about the center is

\Rightarrow I_o=\dfrac{1}{12}ML^2

Moment of inertia of combined system is the sum of rod and two point masses.

\Rightarrow I=I_o+2mr^2

\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1}{12}3.8\times 0.9^2+2\times 2.3\times \left(\dfrac{0.9}{2}\right)^2\\\\\Rightarrow I=1.539+0.9315\\\Rightarrow I=2.4705\ kg-m^2
