The diagram shows light interacting with an object. A blue box has 3 black arrows pass from left to right to its left surface, which they strike at a shallow angle. The arrows then become lines, which move through the box at a different angle. The arrows reemerge as arrows from the right side at the same angle at, which they first struck the box.

Which object is the light most likely striking?

a window
a mirror
a plaster wall
a steel beam

He latent heat of vaporization for ethyl alcohol is 854 j/g. the amount of energy, rounded to the nearest whole number, needed to change 5.20 grams of ethyl alcohol from a liquid to a gas is

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. there are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. calculate the force exerted by a 0.110 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 5.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated challenger in june 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.

A980-kg sports car collides into the rear end of a 2300-kg suv stopped at a red light. the bumpers lock, the brakes are locked, and the two cars skid forward 2.6m before stopping.the police officer, estimating the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road to be 0.80, calculates the speed of the sports car at impact. what was that speed?
