Marty is developing a new way to heat an airplane's windshield to prevent it from accumulating ice when in flight. a thin layer of clear, conductive material is injected between two layers of thick windshield plastic. a very small electric current is run through the inner material to keep the plastic layers warm. how might using a model marty develop his design? a. marty could use a model to discover a new type of plastic for windshields. b. airplane manufacturers could be sold models to use in their new planes. c. a model could be used to test his design in a lab. d. a model could be used for automobile windshields.

An object thrown vertically upward from the surface of a celestial body at a velocity of 36 m/s reaches a height of sequalsminus0.9tsquaredplus36t meters in t seconds. a. determine the velocity v of the object after t seconds. b. when does the object reach its highest point? c. what is the height of the object at the highest point? d. when does the object strike the ground? e. with what velocity does the object strike the ground? f. on what intervals is the speed increasing?

Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most of the light incident upon it. this works through a process known as multiphoton absorption. in this process, several photons are absorbed at the same time. if very intense light whose photons carry 2ev of energy is shined onto a material with a band gap of 4ev, that light can be absorbed through two-photon absorption, because two photons have the right amount of energy to bridge the band gap. what is the minimum number of photons of 800-nm light that are needed to equal or exceed the band gap of fused silica glass

The solar panels used by mark function because of the photoelectric effect. light shines on the cells causing electrons to be ejected from the metal, which produces an electric current. at night on mars, no light will fall on the solar cells and no electric current will be generated. according to your notes, what type of light is typically needed to cause the photoelectric effect? a)visible b)ultraviolet c)infrared
