Darker colors absorb heat, While lighter colors don't. If a house is painted black in Arizona, The black color will absorb the heat making the temperature inside the house very hot even with the AC on. If a house in Arizona is painted White, The heat will bounce off the White color, making the temperature inside the house cooler.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Have you ever noticed people working outside in the hot sun and how you never really see them wearing black shirts or pants. This is because dark colors absorb heat, however light colors, such as white, do the exact opposite. Instead of absorbing the heat from the light, light colors reflect it. So people usually paint there houses lighter colors in hot places to keep their there houses from absorbing heat so it does not cost them so much on electricity bills for air conditioning.

In an arcade game a 0.099 kg disk is shot across a frictionless horizontal surface by compressing it against a spring and releas

Sonja [21]

Answer:

The speed of disk is 1.98 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of $m = 0.099$ kg

Spring constant $k = 244 \frac{N}{m}$

Compression of spring $x = 4 \times 10^{-2}$ m

From energy conservation theorem,

Spring potential energy converted into kinetic energy,

$\frac{1}{2} m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{k x^{2} }{m} }$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{244 \times 16 \times 10^{-4} }{0.099} }$

$v = 1.98 \frac{m}{s}$

Therefore, the speed of disk is 1.98 $\frac{m}{s}$

Calculate the acceleration of a 1000 kg car if the motor provides a small thrust of 1000 N and the static and dynamic friction c

grin007 [14]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Force applied by the motor, $F_A=1000\ N$

The static and dynamic friction coefficient is, $\mu=0.5$

Let a is the acceleration of the car. Since, the car is in motion, the coefficient of sliding friction can be used. At equilibrium,

$F_A-\mu mg=ma$

$\dfrac{F_A-\mu mg}{m}=a$

$a=\dfrac{1000-0.5(1000)(9.81)}{1000}$

$a=-3.905\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is $-3.905\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Pascal's principle, also called Pascal's law, in fluid (gas or liquid) mechanics, statement that, in a fluid at rest in a closed container, a pressure change in one part is transmitted without loss to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of the container

Label these parts on the wave below: Amplitude, Wavelength, Crest, Trough, Rest Position

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Wavelength is the distance between from one crest to another crest or from one trough to another trough. The amplitude is the distance from the midpoint to the crest or trough. Crest is the highest point of the or a wave. Tough is the lowest point of the or a wave. Rest position is the position where it lies on the midpoint line.

Explanation:

I need a diagram to label these parts.

7. A car moving at 10m/s (about 22.4 mph) crashes into a barrier and stops in 0.25 m.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a) 0.05s

b) 4000N

Explanation:

a)When car is stopped its final velocity become zero

U- 10 m/s

V- 0 m/s

S - 0.25 m

t -?

S = (v+u)*t/2

0.25 =(10+0)*t/2

t = 0.05s

b) If we happened to calculate the avarage force we have to consider about acceleration

V= 0

U = 10

t = 0.05 s

a =?

V = U + at

0 = 10 -a * 0.05

a = 200 m/s2

F = m *a

= 20 * 200

= 4000N
